Tak wspanialy ze w ogle nie wiadomo o co w nim chodzi. Dlaczego zapisywanie prawidlowych nazw państw nie działa? Bo przecież wiadomo, że z tym renesansem to chodzi o Włochy, a z Rangunem o Birmę. Więc czemu w ogole nie wchodza?

Took me a second to think: "what country borders South Sudan and the Atlantic" then I remembered how huge the DRC is.

+16

Level 35

Apr 7, 2017

For some reason, I put in Uganda for that then realised: the Atlantic is on the other side of Africa. Then the same thing happened.

Level 67

Doesn't South Sudan also border Kenya? And this borders South Sudan

+28

Level 71

Apr 7, 2017

South Sudan does indeed border Kenya, but Kenya's coast is on the Indian Ocean.

There is no way that is true. I mean, I've looked at a map, and it definitely is, but there's just no way! Wow!

Level 77

Feb 18, 2017

Very good quiz, walking around the world, great concept and some brain teasers too

Level 56

Feb 20, 2017

I do a similar series of quizzes: 'Border to Border'. It has the same idea but there are no hints/clues! Currently, there are 10 in the series and more are coming. Check it out if you want.

Level 72

Apr 7, 2017

Hindi and English are the official languages of India. It's an official language at state level.

Great quiz! We need more! :D

Great quiz! Breezed through it with 1.05 to spare

Level 66

Very creative quiz. I look forward to harder versions with the same concept

Level 49

Armenia for start and end with same letter could have worked too. And there are many countries ending with -stan.

+17

Level 81

Apr 7, 2017

Armenia does not border Italy. Russia does not border any other the other -stans. This is a "walking across borders" quiz, so they have to touch.

Level 59

Apr 7, 2017

Probably ought to specify which Renaissance.

Level 86

Apr 8, 2017

Nope, swhen you use "the" and capital letters, it's normally quite specific. Like "the pill".

1 second left, got stuck on the fourth one though

Mount K2 lies in the disputed China-Pakistan border.

It lies exactly in between Baltistan, Pakistan and Xinjiang, China

Level 53

Sep 11, 2019

K2 is undisputed part of Pakistan after the border agreement 1963 b/w China and Pakistan

Level 73

Feb 2, 2022

K2 actually sits on the land which is rightfully India's, but was snatched later by Pakistan and now disputed with China.. whatever.

The last one, Congo, took me a few more seconds to guess but finished with 04 seconds remaining. Cool quiz. Even thrilling

One of the few quizzes that doesn't accepted Burma as a type-in for Myanmar, was this intentional?

Level ∞

Nov 14, 2019

Burma would have worked.

Level 28

Apr 3, 2020

But it’s not called Burma! It’s been Myanmar for over a decade so get used to it. Are you just looking for a quicker way to type it or something?

Level ∞

Nov 19, 2023

It's not that simple.

Level 60

Great quiz! But Tamil isn't an official language of India (only Hindi and English), even though it's a widely spoken one.

Level ∞

Dec 5, 2019

The reality is a little more complicated, but yes the clue should probably be changed - and now it has been. Thanks for pointing this out.

Level 68

Feb 2, 2022

the only problem is that K2 is disputed, even if China and Pakistan agree that it is in Pakistan, India doesn't accept it, in most Indian schools it is studied that K2 is the tallest peak in India. So instead, I would prefer to interchange with this, "It is the only 'Stan' nation with an access to an actual sea". It would be better and wouldn't trigger any community. I request this and please kindly check this comment and accept it. Since telling this hint triggers 1.35 Billion people for now.

Level 73

Feb 2, 2022

I agree with you there. Unfortunately, JetPunk considers the illegally occupied POK as Pakistani land and the Aksai Chin as Chinese. Similarly Crimea for Russia etc. Unless the Indian forces get those regions under full Indian control, I don't see anything happening, sadly. 😔

Please enlighten me. How do Myanmar and India share a border?

Level 61

Jan 15, 2020

Myanmar shares a really long border with India (1,600km), longer than the one it shares with Bangladesh (210km).

Level 80

Jan 15, 2020

India's territory includes a very narrow strip between Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan known as the Siliguri Corridor. Going east through this corridor takes you from the main portion of India's territory to a smaller section east of Bangladesh and Bhutan known as Northeast India. This area shares its eastern border with Myanmar.

This is one of the situations where looking at a map would've been very useful but I suppose they are very hard to find.

Yes short on time imo. As demonstrated by the % of the last answers. All the answers at the end of the quiz are scoring low, not the toughest questions.
