Interesting mix of questions. Had never heard of the city in the final country question before. Australia doesn't have Provinces, it has States and Territories. I'm pretty sure Germany has States rather than Provinces too.

English correction - "Name a Spanish island city known for partying" - not that you can't understand the question as it is - just an FYI.

Fun quiz!

Fun quiz.

I'm sure it would be featured if it was tidied up a bit.

e.g. odd capital letters dotted around some questions; "an (sic) Spanish island city"; "divides its provinces into numbers"? perhaps "names its provinces numerically"; "the birthplace of the Renaissance"; Australian and German states".

The clues are a nice range though, and it's very nicely organised.

The question about "non-contiguous state of America" is confusing. It was unclear if it was asking about countries in North and South America, or whether it was asking about states in the USA. Then, once I figured out it was looking for a US state, it is unclear that it is looking for a state that is non-contiguous to the US mainland. I tried Michigan because it is separated into two peninsulas, and therefore is non-contiguous.

Please accept "Uraguay" (normal type-in) for Uruguay. Other than that, pretty cool quiz and nice variety ;)!

But "Uruguay" is possibly the most satisfying country name to type on a keyboard - you're pretty much just tapping two zones with two fingers! Why want it any other way???

Nice idea to reveal questions in order of difficulty!

Somehow, I had the feeling that questions don't only get more difficult from top down, but also from left to right - or is it just me? ;-)

great quiz.

only point (but this is really nitpicking) is that if in the "subdivisions" column the answer has to be a subdivision of some sort, then "nepal" does not belong to this column. And I know that the question is related to subdivisions, but it's not what matters in this case IMHO.
