Is number six right? I forgot Turkmenistan bordered Kazakhstan, but you didn't get me with Kaliningrad.

Great quiz! Small note that the explanation on 14 doesn't reach Kazakhstan. And as the above person mentioned 6 has the wrong answer selected.

I only got Costa Rica/Colombia wrong, but it seems that's actually you who made a mistake here (at least according to your own post-game explanations).

Otherwise, cool idea, I liked it!
