Nice idea! How about ten answers? You can easily fit Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Solomon Islands to give it a challenge and 10 answers :)

Jul 23, 2019

Okay expanded it to 10.

Level 76

Aug 14, 2020

Perhaps delete that top comment though, as it gives the three hardest answers away!!

+24

Level 63

Aug 28, 2021

I never really understood why people read comments before taking the quiz.

Level 60

Nov 7, 2021

We really need a spoiler tag on comments.

Level 60

Sep 5, 2016

The cutoff seems to be 100k, those countries are below that.

+17

Level 65

Sep 3, 2019

Now the cutoff is 10 countries and they fall within the range.

Level 45

Oct 16, 2022

Your comment helped me get 100% lol

Level 75

Sep 5, 2016

Every time an easy quiz shows up there's at least someone complaining about it. Why can't we have a couple of easy ones?

Level 64

Sep 5, 2016

good point. I recommend this quiz to go under the Easy tag

Level 75

Sep 5, 2016

But no-one's complained here! (Not yet anyway)

+16

Level ∞

Sep 5, 2016

This quiz isn't even easy unless you're a geography nerd. Give this to an average person on the street and see how many they get!

Level 25

Sep 5, 2016

No kidding, I gave this quiz to a friend of mine, and he only got 10 of them. If I gave him this quiz, he might get one or two

Level 64

Sep 5, 2016

Then almost all quiztakers as of right now were geography nerds. The least guessed answer is 86% :)

Level 77

Sep 6, 2016

Yes we are...the quiz hasn't been featured on the main page yet, so we dorks are the ones who went searching for it.

Level 60

Sep 6, 2016

Mainly by going through our stats, to become the first people to take this quiz.

Level 75

Feb 27, 2017

Hey, who's calling us normal socially-adjusted people, who happen to know things, nerds?

Level 57

Feb 27, 2017

Just normally educated, really developed souls.

Level 83

Jul 18, 2018

Very easy for this nerd here.

Level 69

Jul 28, 2019

Well, since we’re all geography nerds here, I think the expansion to 10 and the inclusion of a harder answer is great!

Level 68

Sep 14, 2019

Nerds can be normal socially-adjusted people.

Level 48

Jan 28, 2022

imma geography nerd

Level 57

Jan 14, 2017

got iceland with 14 secs

Level 17

Feb 27, 2017

That is the only one I missed

Level 89

Feb 27, 2017

I would have bet the bank that Sri Lanka was larger than Cuba and Iceland.

Level 37

Aug 26, 2020

Use this website: thetruesize.com . You will see the real sizes of every country.

Level 48

Jan 28, 2022

Then you are now broke

Level 57

Feb 27, 2017

where is the UK ?

+21

Level 67

Apr 9, 2018

Near France!

+14

Level 50

Jul 22, 2019

Bordering Ireland through Northern Ireland.

Level 48

Jan 28, 2022

Borders Ireland (Northern Ireland) and France (tunnel)

Level 37

Mar 30, 2022

bordering ireland

Level 68

Feb 27, 2017

It was somewhat easy!!! Almost missed japan, iceland, and phillipines, but got them all.

Level 52

Feb 27, 2017

That was close. I nearly missed the Philippines.

Level 88

Feb 27, 2017

I always miss the Philippines...

Level 62

Aug 28, 2021

*sad Filipino noises*

Level 53

Feb 27, 2017

I'm surprised that Cuba is larger than Iceland

Level 82

Jul 24, 2019

Probably the Mercator projection has something to do with it.

Level 29

Feb 27, 2017

Doesn't Cuba have a border with the USA (Guantanamo Bay)?

Level 74

Feb 28, 2017

Guantanamo is leased land. Cuba never cashes the check, but every year one is sent. So, it is still sovereign territory of the nation of Cuba, leased by another country.

Level 40

Feb 28, 2017

They could cash the check it still wouldn't be a border. The US just rent a place according to an old contract Cuba no longer recognizes. It's just a case of a landlord wanting the guy out and Guantanamo Bay isn't a US territory. It's just a military base on foreign soil like the US hold others around the world.

Level 71

Jul 23, 2017

Send the check to me......... I'll cash it.

Level 53

Mar 30, 2022

Yeah, I hope they keep those check if (hopefully not when) relations normalize.

Level 60

Mar 1, 2017

It seems that Cuba is gonna make it on the list of "Obvious countries that I keep forgetting on Jetpunk quizzes" list

Level 85

Jul 24, 2019

For me it's always Turkey and Taiwan.

Level 68

May 21, 2017

How close are Cyprus or Sri Lanka?

Level 71

Jul 23, 2017

5,683 km= 3,531 miles

Level 77

Jul 23, 2017

I nearly forgot New Zealand... but I didn't :D

Level 66

Jul 18, 2018

I did

Level 67

Nov 6, 2017

Gaah! I cannot spell the Philippines for the life of me!

Level 74

Apr 11, 2020

You got it!

Level 48

Nov 6, 2017

Good thing I tried Madagascar for a third time because I was wracking my brain. Must have misspelled it the first two times.

Level 37

Nov 26, 2017

Got them all, but almost forgot New Zealand.

Level 26

Apr 9, 2018

When you forget japan exists.

Level 88

Jul 23, 2019

I forgot what happens. Tell me.

Level 85

Jul 24, 2019

You only get 9 out of 10.

Level 47

Sep 2, 2019

Aka Largest island countries

Level 83

Sep 5, 2019

Not really. The UK and Ireland are island countries but share a land border.

Level 50

Sep 14, 2019

There's also Hispaniola.

Level 72

Oct 9, 2019

And Indonesia. And PNG.

Level 57

Jul 16, 2023

And Australia isn't an island country by JetPunk standard.

Level 78

Oct 9, 2019

Shouldn't the title be changed to 'Largest Countries with No Land Borders'?

Level 42

Oct 9, 2019

Or "Name ten islands".

Level 72

Oct 9, 2019

Clearly. The most famous islands I can think of are Australia Island, Japan Island, and Solomon Islands Island.

Level 46

May 24, 2023

Since when are Solomon islands on of the most famous? The other nine are far more easy.

Level 57

Jul 16, 2023

Uhh... you see nothing wrong with the others?

Level 60

Apr 21, 2023

Even though Australia's not even an island.

Level 32

Oct 10, 2019

I feel like an idiot. I missed a country i've been to

Level 66

Oct 10, 2019

Which one

Level 66

Oct 10, 2019

Missed Sri Lanka and Solomon

Level 50

Jan 19, 2020

Surprising no one has brought up the "is Sri Lanka an island" controversy yet. Personally I support it being on the quiz.

Level 60

Jul 19, 2020

They probably went to some Flat Earth conference, if people who make that a controversy really exist.

Level 57

Jul 16, 2023

It's never considered not an island country. It's just not large enough.

Level 30

Apr 30, 2020

What about cyprus

Level 39

Jul 3, 2020

Cyprus is 9250 sq km. I'm not sure what position it'd be in if this list was extended, but I think there would be a few more Pacific Island nations above it, due to them having loads and loads of small islands.

Level 49

Jun 29, 2020

is this just land area of all islands combines or is the water in between counted?

Level 43

Nov 30, 2021

Just the land area.

Level 40

Jun 30, 2020

Level 61

Dec 30, 2020

gets solomon islands but forgets the philipines

Level 40

Jan 19, 2021

bloody greenland isnt danish anymore or is it

Level 40

Jan 19, 2021

10/10 doe

Level 57

Dec 16, 2021

still Danish

Level 25

Mar 1, 2021

I got all of them with 3 seconds left

Level 18

May 2, 2021

Does Greenland count? Cause..well

Level 30

Aug 24, 2021

technically apart of denmark which does have borders

Level 61

May 18, 2021

Technically biggest island nations with no borders and Australia

Level 60

Aug 28, 2021

Well, yes... It's hard to have no borders and NOT be an island nation or Australia.

Level 24

Aug 28, 2021

I thought Taiwan was a part of China. And Solomon Islands, never thought it was that bigger, though I thought Kiribati would be in the list

Level 43

Nov 30, 2021

Taiwan is a fully-functioned independent country apart from PRC, just lack of recognition worldwide.

Level 50

Jun 20, 2022

So...it's not a country?

Level 57

Jul 16, 2023

I get your point, but being a country is more of de-facto than de-jure to me. Even countries like Armenia aren't recognized by all countries.

Level 57

Jul 16, 2023

Kiribati is just mostly ocean.

Level 29

Sep 12, 2021

10/10

Level 20

Jan 19, 2022

Forgot Japan only, like how did I forget JAPAN

Level 29

Jan 21, 2022

Almost forgot New Zealand. I was going to feel dumb about it.

Level 31

Nov 23, 2022

WHy is GREENLAND not on the list?!?!?!!?!?

Level 65

Mar 1, 2023

Because Greeland isn't a indepedent country.

Level 37

Jul 19, 2023

and it has a border with CA.

Level 45

Jun 8, 2023

aka biggest island countries?

Level 57

Jul 16, 2023

+ Australia

- Indonesia / UK / PNG / ...

So not really

Level 74

Jul 19, 2023

Basically. Minus a tiny caveat that excludes like ten of them.

Level 64

Jul 19, 2023

The moment you only miss New Zealand... :( Need my morning coffee.

Level 37

Jul 19, 2023

I can't believe I almost missed Cuba.

Level 58

Jul 19, 2023

Did not expect the Solomon Islands

Level 48

Jul 19, 2023

Never knew I’d see the day the Countries of the World quiz isn’t the most popular.

Level 50

Jul 22, 2023

Cuba has a border with the US in Guantanamo Bay leased since 1903.
