Yeah, me too. Seems a bit hardh not to allow the abbreviated form, given that's how they are commonly known. At least a line in the intro saying only full names would be accepted.

I'm not so sure. We do ask for the first two letters of each country, rather than the first two letters of any abbreviation it might have.

Yep messed me up too, so since I am not a touch typist and it took me time to realise, I posted a very poor score - which if many people are doing the same would skew the stats. I'm going to argue that you didn't specify that the first two letters of the written name was what was required, actually you didn't specify that we should enter the first two letters of the common name rather than the full name. Entirely reasonable for quizzers to enter the first two letters of the name as people speak it. And for the UAE, people usually say UAE.

Excellent quiz! - Please leave Cyprus where it is as that's where it belongs. Also, the common use of abbreviations should not alter the FACT that the UAE begins with Un(ited) Arab Emirates.

I am so weary of lazy people who just can't be bothered to learn! Is it any wonder that our schools are graduating a generation of

the "truly lost".

By virtue of its geographical location; its closest neighbors are Asian Turkey, Syria and Lebanon, and of course Northern Cyprus is very Turkish-aligned. Continental boundaries are pretty arbitrary, they aren't subject to agreements of countries in the same way that national borders are, so there's no "right" answer to that one. You could just as easily include Cyprus in Europe by virtue of its membership of the euro, European Union, and general historic ties.

Yes, it's a good and fair answer, but what bothers me is the inconsistency, as by this logic, Trinidad and Tobago should be part of South America, yet Jetpunk groups it with North America.
