Country Neighbour Connect
Always choose the biggest neighbor. When left with no neighbors go back to the previous country and follow with second biggest neighbor. Start with the world's largest country.
Not counting the Gibraltar border, Bahrain bridge border, or dubious India/Sri Lanka border
This quiz was insane and I am so pleased with myself for finishing on my first try. I used every minute too. So many times I forgot about a micro-nation, didn't catch the France -> Brazil move for a while, craziness throughout.
Congratulations scambigol, you have the coolest quiz on this entire website. It's a perfect combination of geography and memory. I remember finishing Africa and thinking "where the hell am I supposed to go now?" Fantastic job on this one.
Favorite jumps are from Uruguay to Germany and Portugal to Senegal. Learned that Turkey and Azerbaijan are connected and that Finland is bigger than Norway thanks to this quiz.
Much easier than expected, if you know all the countries you just got to look at the map. First try, I did it with 8 minutes spare and didnt even try to go fast.
I thnk you should decreasce to 15 minutes tops, so you cant just randonly guess which should be next, I believe lots of people do that.
UAE borders Saudi Arabia and Oman, both of which have already been used at that point. So you've hit a dead end, meaning you go back to the previous country.
The previous country was Oman, bordering Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and the UAE. All of them have been used already, so we go back once more.
The previous one was Yemen, bordering Saudi Arabia and Oman. Again all were used, so we go back again.
Then we are in Saudi Arabia, bordering Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, and Yemen. The ones not guessed are Jordan, Kuwait, and Qatar: the biggest out of these is Jordan, the next answer.
What a ride! Kazakhstan and Mongolia are Russia's 2nd and 3rd biggest neighbours, yet you only return there at the end - which makes sense but was still surprising to me.
This quiz was insane. I must have typed and re-typed several countries a doze times, until I found the right link to the path that the program wants. I could not follow some of the decisions. Anyway it was a good mental exercise.
Gibraltar is a British overseas territory, while Ceuta and Melilla (and many other small bits) are considered to be part of Spain, same as French Guiana is part of France
There's a small island "Hans Island" which is split roughly half and half between Greenland and Canada, meaning that technically Denmark shares a border with Canada.
Took me a little while but I finally got the hang of it with over 6 minutes left. It’s just a little confusing when you can’t get any more borders for that country and have to find the next country. But apart from that, great quiz. I would like to see more of this.
This is probably my favorite quiz ever. What a brilliant idea. To remember the classic JP links where you think you are in Europe but are suddenly whisked off to other continents. A thoroughly enjoyable game, thanks a lot.
Amazing concept. Thoroughly enjoyed doing this. A bit confusing at times but its fun tracking back your steps. Only made it with 15 seconds to spare, phew!
In my head i made a prediction like 2 columns in "Imagine the last country is a border of russia" then i had 4 columns done and I'm like "wait is a border of russia actually last?
But the further I managed, the better I realised it is. Excellent work!

But please give us more time, this is hard!
Also, Cape Verde and Singapore are both in yellow, where they should be grey.
Fantastic quiz though!
