This quiz took me a lot of time to make! There are many islands, many exceptions, and many weird cases with great circles, so it is completely plausible I missed a case. Please tell me in the comments if this is the case.

Thanks!

Nice quiz! Deceptively difficult, especially with the yellow box. At what point is Europe only 182 miles from North America? That one surprised me.

Thanks!

That distance is between Greenland and Iceland.
