Armenia was also my last one, but I had a minute more than you to guess it.It was also easier to me than the Lowest Highest point quiz.

Smaller pool of countries to guess from, since by definition all of the countries here are landlocked.

It gets pretty easy with you remember that only landlocked countries could be in the list. Nominated!

Yes, it becomes very simple, because you just have to list all of them :)

The time isn't a constraint at all for experiences JetPunkers. I got in 1:36. Time doesn't need to be a factor in all quizzes, but if you want it to be, I would suggest a time limit of 2 minutes. Nominterpated the quiz.

Lesotho is always an outlier to me. They have a high death rate, high lowest point, high population-ish...

Once you remember it can’t be countries with a sea coast it becomes just a matter of brute-forcing through landlocked countries. I suggest lowering the time…

Only noticed the continent columns when I had one to go--and I'm glad I did.

I know it must be true, but Kosovo's lowest point being higher than Switzerland's doesn't sit right with me.

This is basically just listing landlocked countries. Less interesting than it appears at first blush.

The ranking is more interesting than which countries make the list.

Great fun! I kept typing Nepal and Bhutan because I couldn't believe they were not on the list.

Same, I was really surprised that they don't make it in the list. I thought I made a spelling mistake first XD

Nepal has the Terai plain which is much lower than 100m, and Bhutan has the Manas River basin in the east which is around 100m I believe. Both countries do have a crazy range of altitude within such small area.

I must have tried each one four or five times, was so confused that they weren't correct.

I'd bet nearly everyone tried them and experienced a moment of surprise when they didn't appear.

What is your source? I can only find 772 ft for Burundi and different stats for Armenia.

It’s 772 metres not feet, the source is the Wikipedia list on elevation extremes by country
