The Greenland-Canada border at Hans Island, and the Sint Maarten-France border at Saint Martin, are not considered here. If they were, Canada and the Kingdom of Denmark (of which Greenland is a constituent country) would appear here, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands (of which Sint Maarten is a constituent country) would drop off the answer list. There's plenty of discussion about these cases in the comments section below.

Way not enough time, especially if you're on a mobile device. The way it's set up now, it's merely a speed typing test for those with maps memorized, rather than a challenge for someone with average geographical knowledge to work out the answer from the given clues.

If Canada and Denmark should agree to split the disputed Hans Island between Greenland and Ellesmere Island among themselves, that would bump the number of answers in this quiz to 29, as then Canada would border the USA and Denmark, while Denmark would border Canada and Germany! That's something to keep an eye out for =)

I think danklaaver is referring to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, not the Country of the Netherlands (to which this quiz refers, and which borders just Belgium and Germany). The Kingdom also includes the country of Sint Maarten, which has a land border with Saint Martin, which is part of France.

Hi, very nice quiz, and I have something that may be interesting to point out, I don't know what is Jetpunk's stance on this kind of situation but Argentina and Uruguay actually don't share a LAND BORDER as the Uruguay river serves as the border between them.

Actually, it does, at Martín García Island! But to take your general point, borders across rivers and lakes are considered "land" borders, and borders across seas (even if connected by causeways like the one constructed between Singapore and Malaysia) are considered "sea" borders. You could argue it either way, I guess, but I suspect the definitions we use are derived from what looks apparent on a map.

My understanding of that article was that the island is all Argentine. Are you counting the coast of the island as a land border, given that it is in Uruguayan waters?

Sep 18, 2025
no because the Northern part of the Island which is Isla Timoteo Dominguez (for some reason is a different name even though it's the same island) is a part of Uruguay has a direct land border with Argentina's Martin Garcia Island

So if the land borders isn't a land border if it's defined by a river then the Croatia-Serbia border shouldn't count because the border runs along the Danube.

That only applies if you are working with the Kingdom of the Netherlands, not the country of the Netherlands. The country of Sint Maarten, which is a part of the Kingdom (but not the country) of the Netherlands, borders France as you say on the island of Saint Martin.

I'll start off this new debate, Canada and Denmark are planning to finalize the Hans Island issue by splitting the island in half, thus giving both of them a new border. Whether or not the border is legitimate, this is one of the few quizzes affected by the change.

Sorry, Jerry, we can't do it. It would introduce inconsistencies with our other quizzes. Beyond that, it would make this quiz internally inconsistent, since Saint-Martin exists.

And of course, it would cause tens of thousands of people to lose their points on the very day the quiz is on the home page.

Time limit is too harsh on this one.

There are geography super nerds here that enjoy a speed challenge, but there are also many people who would like to (and need to) think things out a bit more.

It takes the fun away if the quiz ends and you see the answers before having a chance to even work on some of the questions.

I will sometimes click 'untimed' just so I can enjoy the whole thing at my pace. Then I have to do it again just to get my score to count.

It's not just this quiz though, I think this site needs a re-think in terms of timing all quizzes. Perhaps the time to beat is just recorded as a bonus stat with no actual limits in place for the regular 5 points.

Of course people could spend an hour looking up the answers, but people can also just take the quiz twice.
