Mar 31, 2014

Only missed African countries...but I missed ALL of the African countries.

Level 34

May 16, 2016

I got all Africa. The problem for me was South America for some weird reason

+38

Level 47

Jul 23, 2019

Haha thanks for giving it to me

Level 43

Nov 1, 2020

Got Vietnam / Laos easily as I tried Vietnam trying to get China /Myanmar

Level 58

Dec 5, 2020

That's because it's wrong data! I checked the source, it's a very suspicious website. Even if you look into a map, you can clearly see that the Colombia-Venezuela or Niger-Nigeria borders are larger. Besides that big mistake, great quiz!

Level 16

Dec 7, 2020

I got that last, I didn't know that was long either

Level 25

Jan 5, 2021

It is even hard for me to solve the Longest International Borders quiz. Sad at all. Who made this?

Level 33

Jul 11, 2021

I did, and I had 10 seconds left. 100%

Level 31

Aug 26, 2021

sameeeee

europe=small

this is the answer to half of the questions in life

Level 20

May 25, 2022

it is!! If you take a globe you can see how small such a "big" part of the world is, it's rather interesting if i say so myself

Level 61

Apr 27, 2014

Guessed all the countries with just 6 seconds left :D

Level 44

Sep 21, 2014

Also got mauritania and mali with 6 seconds left, huh :)

Apr 27, 2014

Level 44

Apr 27, 2014

you should accept Zaire for democratic republic of congo

+20

Level 21

Apr 27, 2014

Congo stopped calling themselves Zaire in 1997

Level 37

Nov 21, 2021

They accept both the DRC and the Republic of Congo as "Congo", and as Quickman said, They stopped calling the DRC "Zaire" since 1997.

Level 84

Apr 27, 2014

Same problem as with Burma... Zaire was only Mobuto's idea. From the day that Kabila overthew him, the country became Congo again.

Level 83

May 8, 2014

and since then there hasn't been a single human rights abuse anywhere in the country.

Level 54

Sep 19, 2017

In the words of Dr Seuss: 'A country's a country, no matter how evil and dictatorial.' Seriously, if you can call North Korea by its name, you can do it with the DRC.

Level 66

Apr 27, 2014

26/26 at first try! :)

Level 49

Apr 28, 2014

The shortest border in the world is Zambia and Botswana - 150 m (that's meters, not miles).

Level 47

Nov 2, 2016

The parts of Spain on the African continent include one 85-meter border.

Level 52

Jan 7, 2020

Adding other borders with Morroco the border is kinder, aprox. 15 km, more thank 10 tiene que bordering between Botswana and zambia

Level 55

Jan 7, 2020

That's also the place that is closest to a 4-corners in the World on a national level.

Level 71

Sep 7, 2020

Actually the shortest border is between Peru and Kyrgyzstan: 0km

Level 28

Dec 5, 2020

Level 83

Jul 16, 2015

Level 65

May 1, 2016

Im so happy that I got a map in my head, so I can see every country and their borders in my head, so it was easy because of that.

Level 20

May 15, 2016

What about Norway and Sweden? That border is huge!

Level 84

May 16, 2016

Yeah, it is huge... on a Mercator projection map.

Level 20

Jan 16, 2019

But still pretty huge, over 1600km long

Level 50

Dec 7, 2020

europe=small

this is the answer to half of the questions in life

Level 75

May 16, 2016

It might be worth mentioning in the instructions that borders can be broken - for example, Russia-China is broken in two by Mongolia, and the 3,645 km is the aggregate of the two lengths.

Level 71

May 16, 2016

100% with 59 seconds still on the clock!! Cool quiz idea!

Level 47

May 18, 2016

Got the lot with 24 seconds to spare.

Nov 1, 2020

It's Laos and Vietnam..... Vietnam borders 3 countries

Level 51

Dec 11, 2016

Dang it, missed Afghanistan. I thought I went through all my "-stan" countries...obviously not!

Level 64

Feb 8, 2017

norway sweden?

Level 28

Dec 5, 2020

That border is still pretty bug at 1600 km, although just a tiny bit too small for this quiz. ;)

Level 66

Feb 8, 2017

100%!!

Level 75

Aug 10, 2017

Did not expect Vietnam and Laos... only one I missed :(

Level 33

Mar 30, 2018

Got them all first go..Almost missed Burma with 7 seconds to go,

Level 8

Apr 4, 2018

Only missed Vietnam-Laos, and Mali-Mauritania

Level 50

May 26, 2018

Nailed it first try with 54 seconds left. Really cool quiz though!

Level 69

May 29, 2018

How is Laos-Vietnam longer than Sudan-Chad for example?

Level 54

Jul 23, 2021

Rivers/terrain vs straight lines. Rivers and terrain meander which makes their lengths significantly longer than they appear.

Level 56

May 30, 2018

interesting that no-one else had problems with angola

Level 50

Aug 4, 2018

2:26 remaining. what am i doing?

Level 65

Aug 4, 2018

Hey completely off topic sorry, but there was a quiz several months ago on Jetpunk about the wealthiest countries GDP per capita for 2018 and the number one was Luxembourg. I want to look at the source to verfiy it but does anyone remember the name of that quiz on here?

Level ∞

Aug 4, 2018

Here's our official quiz on the subject. Monaco is #1.

Level 65

Aug 8, 2018

Thanks. Is Monaco still #1 for that in 2018?

Level 62

Aug 5, 2018

100%!!! YES!

Level 51

Aug 7, 2018

what about norway and Sweden

Level 63

Mar 1, 2019

Their border looks very long compared to other European borders but not compared to the ones in this quiz. "Only" 1,619 km.

Level 34

Jul 6, 2019

It is however the longest in Europe

Level 50

Dec 7, 2020

europe=small

this is the answer to half of the questions in life

Level 59

Jan 1, 2019

Missed Laos, Mali and Mauritania. :(

Level 28

Mar 16, 2019

ez pz

Level 44

Nov 9, 2019

How can Bangladesh–India border be soooo long?

Level 72

Nov 10, 2019

The border has all sorts of zigzags, lines and is just really ridiculous. Look at it on Google Maps

Level 16

Apr 22, 2020

This was weird but i somehow made it

Level 26

Apr 29, 2020

I did not expect mali mauritania!

Level 57

Aug 22, 2020

1:35 left :DDD

Level 49

Sep 10, 2020

There are quite a few comments above re Norway/Sweden... something one would only think if one uses a Mercator map. Out of interest, do any of your school systems still use the Mercator projection? I know the US school system still does, but am curious of any others.

Level 28

Dec 5, 2020

It is still 1600 km, which is fairly long, but yes it is too short to make the cut.

Level 50

Dec 7, 2020

europe=small

this is the answer to half of the questions in life

Level 54

Sep 25, 2021

I’m not sure you read this comment. Did you just paste it when seeing Norway-Sweden?

Level 33

how is bangladesh-india boder so long if bangladesh is comparatively tiny??

Level 41

Feb 15, 2021

asia=big

that is the answer to the other half of the questions in life

Level 61

Jan 15, 2021

Yes! First time, I did not expect that in a million years!

Level 28

Jan 30, 2021

missed Angola

Level 59

Jun 12, 2021

Missed Angola, Mali, Mauritania

Level 34

Jul 8, 2021

I think there are some mistakes here. Algeria, Libya, and Egypt are not on this list, and yet Bangladesh, which is a tiny country, is, and so is Laos.

Level 30

Jul 8, 2021

Missed Angola.

Level 56

Aug 9, 2021

It is hard to believe that the India-Bangladesh border is longer than the United States-Mexico border.

Level 54
