Super fun and creative quiz, finished with 9 seconds left. But, unless there's some obscure exclave I'm unaware of, the jump from Colombia to Nicaragua is incorrect, based on Jerry's quizzes you sourced. Should be Costa Rica next.

Thanks and well done!

You're actually wrong, because there are some colombian islands in the Caribean Sea that Jerry seems to not have took in account. You can check that on Google Maps, with the island of San Andrés, Colombia which is definitely closer to Nicaragua than Costa Rica. But I admit it's a really tricky moment on this quiz, maybe the trickiest one? :)

You need to find the closest country to another, but that not touch it (with help of the map). For example, with China, the answer might be South Korea, but not Russia because it borders it.

One you found the first answer (game starting with USA), you now need to use the new guessed country to find its closest neighbour. etc, etc... Until the map is completely filled.

If the supposed closest country has already been guessed before, you obviously can't guess it back, and then you need to find the second closest one.

Hope it makes more sense in a way or another, i don't know how i could explain it better haha
