Country Logic Puzzle by Scambigol

Follow instructions carefully!

1) Each cell is identified by its row followed by its column, so for example the top left cell is ab
2) With one exception, whenever it's possible a cell will contain a country that begins with its cell name (eg you'd have abkhazia in cell ab if it were a country)
3) Country length is measured by number of letters (so excluding spaces etc)
4) Names used are the standard jetpunk ones
5) Egypt isn't in this quiz

I think the Iraq clue messes with your head, because both of the first-equal-longest country names (St Vincent and DR Congo, 28 letters each) appear here. But if we have a first equal length, then its automatic that no country has more letters than all other countries...

I don't think you can be sure St Vincent is there without the Iraq clue

"this row contains island countries except if" seems to make go grammatical sense, I only realized later that if means row i and column f.

in box "ib" it should say begin, not being. Just a detail. Great quiz

how do you proceed without guessing south africa in the beginning? do you assume you have the highest chances since it's all but one multiple-letter countries in column a, hence more likely than botswana or zimbabwe?

you need to know quite well your 2 border counties - if you manage to go through the world map in your head you'll see that there isn't a single combination where all 3 countries (the one bordering 2 and the 2 that border it) are all multiple words, there's actually only one combination where 2 of them are multi-word; similarly there's only one where they're all 5 letters long

I think Jerry928 has it right: the Iraq clue can be misleading. Perhaps clarify that that the length refers to all countries in the world and not to all countries contained only in the quiz: e.g., "In this quiz, no country has more letters than all other world countries." Otherwise, marvelous fun; well done.

The Zimbabwe one says: "Each column has 2 countries that have a border with the one in row e," or something like that. There is not a single country in row e that has at least 12 borders, so I don't get it.

I may be misunderstanding, I may have left a word out, but just something to look into.

Great quiz, really. Very hard! I confirm that no guessing is needed!

I had to use the world map and the list of countries, because i wanted to be sure not to guess something just because i had forgotten something else... paradoxically, it would have been easier (but less interesting) without list and map.

Um...Saudi Arabia is on here twice? And on the AF clue, it says "in each column you will find 2 countries bordering the one in row E." There are only 2 countries that border Ecuador, Peru and Colombia. So how can EACH column contain these, unless Peru and Colombia repeat. Maybe the clue should read, "for each country in row E, each column contains 2 nations that border that same country. Ex. Row E contains Avondale. In the same column as Avondale are 2 countries that border Avondale." Clues were NOT super helpful. I gave up after only getting like, 5.

1. The quiz never says that there are no duplicates.

2. Ecuador is not the only country in row E - why do you think the clue only applies to it? I understand it's a little ambiguous, but the meaning feels pretty apparent to me after thinking about it for a moment - "In each column you will find two countries bordering the one in row E (in that column)"

3. The clues are hard to work with, but that's sort of the point of the puzzle. They're not supposed to make it easy, but rather just make it possible. And it isn't easy, but it is possible.

What is the hint in IC supposed to say? It just shows as "this row contains island countries except if" for me. Except if what?

The Iraq clue really got me stuck. I did not understand it all, to the point I tried to keep going by ignoring it. Reading the comments now, I understand it means something like "the two countries with the longest names are both present in this quiz" ? Is it that? If yes, maybe the phrasing should change a bit..

Also, if i could suggest another thing, it would be to try and start the phrasing of each clue by column/row, and then by the info on it. This way, it becomes much easier to recall back into info that were not useful to you earlier or that you may have forgotten, without having to read the whole thing. You just search faster for what you want to find.

But maybe it's just me and how my brain cannot handle the overinformation in such little time
