"Six Degrees of Separation" is a concept that every person, place, or thing is in someway connected with one another in six or less separate connections. With the help of hints, can you name the countries that are connected to one another below?
Will you create other quizzes like this one (cities, capitals, countries by continent,...)? I just love this concept (and I didn't know it was featured, so congrats!)!
I've tried, but finding connections for cities is harder than you would think lol. I plan to do perhaps other regions such as states and countries by continent, but anyone can try to use this concept as well. Unlike the Cat Elim quizzes, 6 degrees doesn't need hidden boxes, which could provide some interesting random group quizzes in the future.. hint hint nudge nudge
This is a lot of fun! Nominated! Just out of curiosity could you clarify that the Singapore question is a country, because I kept guessing years. Maybe something like "whose leader first met the US President what island country?" I understand if you want to keep the word country out of the questions because of styling, but if you could find a solution, that would be great!
Uhm, are you conflating the two Mediterranean countries whose name differ by 2.5 letters? I'm willing to be wrong if it will lead to being guided to a clearer explanation
Monaco was an example: Monaco is not in France despite being surrounded by France and the Mediterranean, just like Ceuta and Melilla are not in Africa, despite being surround by Africa and the Mediterranean
For the "former overseas colony" question, I guessed UK (not knowing the answer to the above was Singapore). I then started to worry which countries to guess because so many were former colonies.
Good quiz. As a non-American, I did not know (or care) about where the US president and North Korean leader may have once met. Got all the other answers however.
Snap @blizzrd33 that clue totally stumped me. I remember them meeting on the demilitarised part of the Korean border but that’s it. Tough clue. The rest of that column is pretty much impossible once you miss that question. Tough quiz in general.
Yes, when there’s a random question where there’s no chance you’d get the correct answer (short of guessing every single country in the world) early in a string like this, the rest becomes completely unfeasible (unless you can work backwards from the end).
Also, any sport or history questions cancel the rest of their chain for me (don’t care about them whatsoever).
I had the same issue with the flag clues. I just can't seem to commit all the different flags to memory, and there were flag clues in three of them. (But I still think this is a great quiz and I hope to see more of them for other countries.)
I agree that this question is a bit irrelevant and forgettable, but the former colony question led me to immediately guess the UK. There's only a couple of countries that had a lot of colonies so it's worth guessing.
As a non-American, I did know and care where Trump met Kim, as it was a huge event in global diplomacy that had potential repercussions for everyone on the planet.
How do people not get that international relations don’t have to immediately involve your particular country to be significant?
This is a clever idea. I hope you do more. One nitpick - you have an extra "the" in the last clue for the first section. "Whose national flag is THE similar to..."
in Pacific terms it's nearby, and it's the closest country to New Zealand - indeed Australia is the only country that New Zealand even shares a *maritime* border with, unless you count Antarctica

Correct. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, and is not considered part of the UK. It has a similar status as Bermuda, Pitcairn, Cayman Islands etc.
The flag of Poland is also "similar" though, being just red and white upside down from Indonesia. Although I suppose it's not too hard to just guess one, and then guess the other if the first doesn't work.
I like this quiz a lot despite my agreement with various objections already raised by others - thanks!
However, the term six degrees of separation is correct in the way you use it ONLY for the social distance between people, not for things or places. As your creativity shows, anyone can easily make up the six degrees of separation between places (or things). The six degrees of social distance separating people is a real sociological phenomenon, as shown in a study by Stanley Milgram.

With regard to your objection, so what if the term has not been 'correctly' used? However, it needs to be pointed out that Milgram's results have been shown to be highly suspect.
The flag of Ireland is also very similar to Italy, just the orange is swapped with red. I would say to use "flag has the same colors" for the hint, but then Niger would also work, so I think the hint should be "national flag is the mirror image of..."
