Love these, still very diverse. Just.. please.. it's a bit inconsistent when you have to type "peninsula" when you don't need to type sea, island or lake (or California).

Only realized the Russian lake was something needing to be guessed after noticing that the Great Lakes (North American and African) were missing from the map.

Yeah, same./ Spent a while with two left to guess. Spotted Brahmaputra, but it took me much longer to find Baikal. It's not super obvious.

Nice to see my hometown represented in the picture, though it seems a little insignificant next to the likes of Beijing and Bogota.

Would it be possible to see a legend on these or split the colors between countries and regions? I was trying to figure out what country began with B in the middle of Europe.

Level 75
Mar 4, 2017
Agreed. I was left with Bavaria, trying to think what country other than Bulgaria and Bosnia it might be. I see that over half got the answer, but either a legend or adding headings to the answer columns would be helpful for slow-tops like me. Still a great quiz, though.

I followed the same pathway and ended up with Belgrade. It always surprises me that the distance is somehow shortened without boundaries, I have to rebuild the boundaries in my mind sometimes to place the countries.

Bratislava, Budapest, Bucharest and Belgrade. All of them are very close to each other, but only Belgrade is in the Balkan Peninsula.

They do get harder and harder as you get further along the alphabet. Is that deliberate?
