Time's a bit short. Especially considering question 2, which I didn't even bother thinking about since it would've taken like half the time given.

I agree 'Ferbin' ....... so I have changed Question 2 to a more reasonable question:

Timer is way too short, AT LEAST one minute should be added.

Also, question 12 is imprecise for obvious reasons.

Thanks.....I've added a minute. I do not think question 12 is imprecise as I cannot find another island (larger then the answer) that China administers, can you?

Great questions, I really liked this quiz.

I think a few of them could be tidied up a bit though:

- #3 (make it a question, like #13)

- #7 (shorten it!)

- #8 (interesting, but you can just type them all and get it... How about, "Name an African capital that lies further north than Damascus." - accepting Tunis, Algiers, Rabat. Not exactly what you were hoping to point out, I know...)

- #11 (I kinda get this one, and it's really good, but the capitals of a few countries are closer to the equator, so maybe it should ask for the capital closest to "the point 0.00 lat, 0.00 long")

- #2 / #4 / #5 / #14 / #16 (use words for low numbers: "three", "two", "third" - no need to put "3rd" in parentheses, etc)

- #Various (random capitalisations bother me - #20 is an example!)

I'm only suggesting some minor edits to your excellent quiz - sincerely thanks for the work you put in to it, I enjoyed it a lot!
