Are you sure? East Timor is the only answer to that question. Timor is not a valid type-in on JetPunk just as New Guinea is not a valid type-in to Papua New Guinea.

For "that is at least 20 letters long", shouldn't United States of America, People's Republic of China, and Democratic People's Republic of Korea all count? I'm assuming they don't because of JetPunk naming conventions?

Just to clarify, does the "100 million people by 1900" question refer to modern-day borders or territories controlled by the country at the time? Because the question only makes sense if it's the latter (no way India can't be there unless it's counted as part of the UK).

Was about to query that question myself. The area within the modern day borders of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has never had a population close to 100 million. The census figures for the late 19th/early 20th centuries did not include colonies. Even my grandparents, who were alive at the time, never referred to Commonwealth/British Empire citizens as being part of the population of Britain, as if we 'owned' them. I'm not sure the inhabitants of Australia, for example, were ever included in our population stats. It seems a weird concept. But perhaps you can correct me.

A good quiz because it has generated a lot of discussion and the questions have obviously changed fairly frequently as you have thought up better ones. Thanks.

Unfortunately, if I were do define HDI in every question, I would also have to define a lot of other things, which would cause quite some clutter. There are a lot of other similar quizzes that use HDI so I don't think it's too uncommon of a term.

This may be quite nitpicky or unnecessary, however I think that Uganda should be accepted for the question "countries with 'and' in its name".

I understand what the question was asking - and I wasn't confused - however Uganda was the first answer I put in and it technically contains "and" in the name.

Ug - and - a.

This would also apply to Rwanda as well. And Poland, Netherlands, Marshall Islands, Solomon Islands, and any others I missed with "and" in the name.

Also since you said "the word 'and'" in the question, could you possibly reword the question?

"Name a valid country containing the conjunction "and"' or

"Name a valid country that has the word 'and' between two words" or whatever you see fit.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

The United States isn't at least 5,000 km wide east to west? Nome and Portland (ME) are 6,000 km apart. Yes, that's not due east-west, but there's land in Alaska further west than Nome and land in Maine east of Portland.

To pile onto this, Washington IS named for Washington, the president, and while the District of Columbia (D.C.) bit is named after Columbus, that shouldn't disqualify it, as-written. So Washington, D.C. should still qualify it for an answer, no? https://www.history.com/news/how-did-washington-d-c-get-its-name

If it's more of an "only named after a U.S. president and no one else at all" sort of thing, that should probably be clarified in the clue.

"that is Baltic" seems a bit vague. I know that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are "the Baltic states", but other countries lie on the Baltic Sea and could be called 'Baltic'.

"that was a former member of the British Commonwealth": South Africa and Pakistan both were former members, but later rejoined. It should say 'is'.
