Could use 30 more seconds, didnt have time to think about asia.

But fun concept, surprisingly a new way to think about the countries.

Greenland is usually considered the biggest island. Australia is a continent.

On JetPunk it is.

No, that's not a 100% universally-held belief worldwide. But neither are most things. So if you disagree? Sure, that's your prerogative. But whether you agree or not is kind of irrelevant: at the end of the day, the standard on JetPunk is that Australia is a continent and not an island, and that's the standard that quizzes are expected to follow. So as long as you're on this site, you can expect that answers to all quizzes will consider Australia to be a continental mainland, and not count as an island.

Insult, we're part of Oceania so we're not a continent.
