Not sure where we landed with Burma or Myanmar, but I've long been in the habit of the former being accepted on every jetpunk quiz.

We landed on Myanmar as official, with Burma being accepted. Seeing how in this case it's looking specifically for answers having to do with the "spelling," Burma doesn't make sense, since the answer that appears would be Myanmar... which obviously has more than 5 letters.

I entered Burma, also....it should be accepted. “The People’s Republic of China” is official, and that has 25 letters.

It shouldn't be accepted. The correct answer is Myanmar, Burma is acceptable type-in, but only for a question where Myanmar is the correct answer. So in "countries that border India" quiz, you should be able to type Burma to reveal Myanmar, but not in this quiz. Don't even start with the "people's republic" funny business. Read what "official name" and "short name" is and then you wouldn't want to say it in the first place.

I don't agree with Myanmar being on this quiz, but it should probably just be greyed out so people don't get confused.

Agree, you are technically correct. Just like the grocery store signs "15 items or LESS" -- which is incorrect.

I changed it to fewer because it sounds better, but less isn't incorrect:

Oooo, Quizmaster, I gotta disagree with your interpretation. "Less" is acceptable due to common usage only.

When we talk about Asia, we're talking about continents. What continent do Oman and Yemen lie in? The Middle East can't be considered one; it's just a region. Therefore they are in Asia.

One of the nice things about the Asian version of the shortest countries quiz is that every Central Asia country (plus Pakistan) ends in "stan," and automatically are disqualified. That allows me to ignore an entire region of Asia.
