Yes indeed. Also Ceuta. Not to mention that there are islands off the African coast occupied by countries whose major land are is in Europe. So Portugal (Madeira) and Italy (Lampedusa, Pantelllaria and Linosa) should be acceptable answers.

They are not actually part of Africa — their main body of land is not in Africa, and overseas territories don’t exactly count towards that, I don’t think.

If someone wonders... As this quiz was made by the Quizmaster, it follows the 'laws of continental borders' that JetPunk uses. So, Spain, Portugal, France and the UK aren't included in the quiz. The island of Socrota is considered as Asian, so, no Yemen. And Egypt isn't transcontinental. That's why you see the Asian part of Egypt also in green when you guess it. And last but not least, Somaliland and the Sahrawi Republic aren't in the quiz.
