Have Asia and Europe accidentally been combined or is it just my phone? Needs more time anyway.

Happened on mine too and South America didn’t even show. Maybe a phone thing 🤷‍♀️

I like the quiz even though I missed a lot of them (even Newfoundland! Duh!) I'm not totally sure whether Jetpunk will officially accept the fourth-biggest European island being that far east of Cyprus, Armenia etc., although I don't suppose you need to worry about that until the eventual featuring eh.

Good quiz overall. You should accept Svalbard as a version of Spitsbergen.

I am not sure. Spitsbergen is an island, but Svalbard is the whole archipelago.

Yep, I tried Svalbard, but I would be super annoyed if Japan was accepted for Honshu. Although Falkland might be acceptable.

in Oceania, everything is an island, so Australia and New Zealand should count. Also, Greenland belongs to Denmark, so it is European, not North American.

Mainland Australia is a continental landmass, as well as the mainlands of Afro-Eurasia, Americas and Antarctica. New Zealand is not a single island; the two biggest are listed.

Greenland is still located in North-America, even if it politically belongs to Denmark.
