Some countries are absent, probably due to lack of data...

Myanmar for Burma? Also, maybe put a disclaimer saying that countries such as Swaziland, Somalia, North Korea are absent.

Why do you consider 0.510 to be the bar for 'third-world countries'? Countries categorised as 'low' on the Human Development Index are below 0.550.

Also, I think this quiz should be updated as it shows data from the 2011 report (according to the description).

I think that I looked into "Third World countries list". When I have time I 'll update it if needed. Thanks for the feedback!

Glad to see this quiz with data from 2011 didn't age well - the HDI of all of these countries is now much higher. If an HDI of around 0.500 is considered the threshold for a Third World Country, only one third of the countries in this quiz still fall under this threshold.

Especially for Papua New Guinea

You should also add CAR for the Central African Republic.
