I was really surprised about Ethiopia, because of the Ethiopian highlands and all. I guess the mountains there aren't tall enough.

I was initially shocked that Ethiopia made this list, but Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines did not. I assumed that they were all larger than CAR, but I was misled by their huge populations.

I think it's rather that CAR is a lot bigger than what it looks like on the map. :S

Sure, I always picture the early Congo explorers crossing those glaciers in heavy fur coats with their ice picks.

I was sure Ethiopia had glaciers... But apparently it doesn't and Mongolia does! Guess you learn something new every day.

Venezuela recently joined this list, if I'm not mistaken, with the melting of the Humboldt Glacier/La Coruna

Why is Australia missing from both this quiz AND the "countries with glaciers" quiz? It's inconsistent whether you count external territories or not.

It's because it is on the "countries with glaciers" quiz but it's filled in because they are in external territories. All the countries with glaciers in external territories are counted as they HAVE glaciers.
