Great quiz! I couldn't get the 2 congos despite (I think) trying to type Congo, DRC and the full names.

How do you get this data, do you measure it all 'by hand'?

OK thanks! In case you're interested Jerry928 uses daftlogic.com (click on 'distance calculator') which I think can be used to get more accurate data

I read Vienna instead of Venice. Couldn't figure why Slovakia and Czech Republic didn't work.
