So are San Andres and Providencia really part of Colombia? That seems pretty far away (although closer than Hawaii is to the USA I suppose).

Since you accidentally put Less Antilles in the instructions rather than Lesser Antilles, I assume you're talking about the Antilles of which there are fewer.

Like the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Islands are not in the Caribbean as traditionally defined. The Caribbean is bordered by South America, Central America, Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and the Lesser Antilles down to Trinidad.

Hi! Looking from northern Europe BAHAMAS is connected to the Carribean sea, and Wikipedia writes that way, too. Take a look, and have a great Day;)! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Countries_in_the_Caribbean

What does it matter where you are "looking from"? QM clearly defined the area considered to be the Carribean for the purpose of this quiz. The Bahamas clearly do not fit the criteria. Doesn't mean other definitions would exclude it.

I thought it was st eustachius. (at least in the local language) but guess I was wrong. A weird varation, not what you expect the word to be looking at similar words in dutch. I guess I had buis van eustachius/eustachian tube in my mind.

Not in the Caribbean. The world's oceans and seas are defined by an international body called the International Hydrographic Organization, and the Bahamas is clearly outside their internationally-agreed definition of what constitutes the Caribbean Sea. Look up the Caribbean Sea on Wikipedia, there is a link to the definition.

That's quite understandable because Mexico (and the gulf of Mexico) is not automatically though of as being part of the Caribbean. And since it is in this quiz, it opens a Pandora's Box, doesn't it? For, if you include Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize how can you exclude the gulf states of the US? (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Florida?)

It''s called Caribbean Countries and Territories, and includes things that just border on the Caribbean Sea. Those aren't the same thing. I've never heard Mexico called a Caribbean country, and Guyana, Suriname and French Guyana are often included in cultural definitions, because of the close historical ties between them and the islands.

No need to get snappy, it isnt personal is it? He has a point, the title could have been chosen better. And just be "places that border the caribbean". Because mexico, colombia etc are indeed not considered caribbean countries, and that is what the title suggests.

I got what was meant though, the titles on this site are so often wrong if you take them literally. The description in the quiz itself usually is correct though. So I dont let myself be guided by the title, but see what it is really about after I click it.

I agree adding a map would be very nice for this one. A map with just sea (or perhaps the us as an anchorpoint) where the countries/territories show up after you guess them.

There are other territories of the United States that are in the Caribbean Sea but are disputed. Navassa Island, Bajo Nuevo Bank, and Serranilla Bank all fall under this category. Maybe you should add a disclaimer that disputed US claims don't count? Just a suggestion
