Struggled the most with tze/on, figured that would be the least guessed.

Also figured that, I missed errey/real, atoa/ow, tze/on, ine/one. But I thought of the answer to tze/on, but didn't think it was correct so I didn't try it..

Yes, the spelling of Chechnya should be corrected

Yeah, great quiz and a great idea. That one really threw me. Not sure

I would have got it even with twice the time. Good idea mind.

That really should have said -ine and -ône. Without the accent on the O it's an almost impossible guess, not to mention technically an incorrect spelling of the river's name.

Same beginning letters rather than same prefixes.

Great idea for a quiz and great quiz.

Got all except Rhine/Rhone - I can't imagine I would ever have guessed that! Good to have a tricky one.

11%!!! The next one up the list is at 48%. Have you not thought that maybe that one was just too tricky?!

Cool part of this quiz is that most prefixes are not coincidentally the same, even if several times removed.

E.g.: "Phil" is in both cases from Greek meaning friend/lover, although one time it comes from a given name (Philip, "horse lover") and the other time it comes deliberately from Greek (in the sense of "city of brotherly love").

I think it was least guessed because ine/one are not "places".

Certainly threw me.

And like a number of the answers, "RH" isn't a prefix!

Nice quiz! I missed one yet so obvious... especially for a Frenchman like me.

Speaking of which, would you mind if I did a French version of this quiz?

You should acknowledge somewhere that "prefix" is at best a stretch for some of these. Absolutely no definition of the word would include "Rh." In the relevant languages, it is not a morpheme. Geographic Terms With Shared Beginnings isn't as catchy, but at least it isn't factually false.

Aw man I have no clue how I missed Antalya and Antarctic as a Turkish person who have been in Antalya before. Tried subarctic instead. Anyways, amazing quiz.
