Wait, how is it possible that Singapore is closer than Malaysia? I measured on Google Maps, and I got 377 km from the southern tip of Vietnam to Kelantan Province, Malaysia, versus 801 km to Singapore.

Which isn't hurting the answer scores - South Korea and North Korea are both running at 96%.

I don't think either of them are close enough. Sadly, Jetpunk has a habit of forgetting about territories anyway.

In the description before you enter the quiz it tells you to "Name the 20 closest that are closest. I don't think that Cambodia is a "closest".
