I kept typing loads of incorrect responses for the Libya question. Obvious answer when you see it! I had to find out what a few meant afterwards so Iearnt something too. Good quiz, thank you.
Yeah, I was stuck on that one for a while too.

Until finally, more out of desperation than anything, I went: "Dammit, the only thing physically between the two is the bloody Mediterranean sea...!!!"
I really like this idea. There was a good spread of answers of varying difficulty. I would swap one of the country ones with something else though. There's one too many
