The Hans Island dispute has been solved. Canada should be removed, and Denmark too possibly. When this quiz is next updated, this should be changed or a caveat added. I have not done enough research to be able to say whether or not the change has taken place yet or not.

Greenland was a Danish colony until 1953, when it was redefined as a district of Denmark. In addition to its own local government, Greenland has two representatives in the Danish Parliament, the Folketing.

It is part of Denmark - fix the quiz.

If we are getting technical, I believe we should add Moldova. Moldova borders both Ukraine and Romania. However, the border with Romania follows a river over its full length. Therefore, Moldova and Romania only border through bridges, which is excluded by the quiz description.

Maybe we should change ‘border by bridges’ in the description into ‘border by sea bridges’?

Great quiz! I only have a few complaints, Canada borders Denmark Through an island called Hans Island in Greenland, also, the United Kingdom borders more than one country. It borders Spain and Because of Gibraltar, and it also borders Cyprus because of its exclaves in the island. Other than those two things, this is an excellent quiz!

Dose Cyprus count? it borders a UK overseas territory. The quiz specifically says "not counting borders from over seas territories-such as HANS ISLAND," but that's saying the countries overseas borders don't count as actual borders. it says nothing about a country bordering an overseas territory

Yes, it does. Some people say it is an Overseas territory, but it isn't. For Canada it is part of the territory of Nunavut, so Canada should be removed. I don't know about Denmark though.
