Great job! I got them all, struggling a little on the one with a ratio of 5.31, but was surprised at the lack of Vietnam (1.86), Malaysia (1.6), Ecuador (1.01), Israel (0.98), Thailand (0.76), and Slovenia (0.13).

I nominated it and linked this on the original quiz.

Well, Slovenia has pretty short coastline, I suppose I guessed all the others.

I really like this quiz. I would be curious if the equation were shifted slightly to be divided by square root of area.
