To be more accurate shouldn't the name of the quiz be "Largest Inhabited Islands of the British Isles"?

Also as Ireland is included it might be worth adding some of the Irish Islands that are populated and are bigger than some on this list e.g. Rathlin Island (pop. 100), Arranmore (pop. 514), Inishmore (pop. 840), Great Island (pop. 12,000), Inchydoney (pop. 193) etc?

Otherwise a good idea for a quiz!

Then I guess this isn’t really a quiz about Britain

You have Fetlar misspelled. Couldn't figure out why it wasn't accepting it, so kept trying misspellings--and 'Feltar' took.

It took me forever to get it too!

Got Unst, didn't realise anyone lived there though

Both title and description are entirely misleading. I would've guessed Achill had there been any mention of Ireland. Though I suppose I should have wondered that Ireland was an obvious answer.

what about Caldey Island off Tenby there are at least 20 living there both in cottages and the monastry

Please reticle this quiz, or remove Achill. It is nowhere near Britain. You could use British Isles to include Achilles, but you'd need to include the other inhabited islands off the west coast of Ireland.

Also, Fair Isle is bigger than Lundy. This would be my favourite quiz on Jetpunk, but the mistakes let it down.

Wot no Scilly Isles?
