Why Mongolia comes 3rd?

cosmokim

Not anymore :).
But seriously, Mongolia comes that early on in the list because it is in between two superpowers that are a) really large, and b) really well known. Mongolia turns green whenever either Russia or China are guessed, which appears to be 95% of the time.

level 59

Oct 17, 2016

I start with Indonesia, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the DRC. For South America, all you need to type in is Brazil and Peru. Honduras gets a lot of Latin America, than USA and Mexico. Then just choose countries located a short distance from each other in Africa, Europe and Asia.

Typing "Congo" gets you 12 countries, because it gives all countries that border either of the Congos! The only problem is that you have to type in "Equatorial Guinea" because no countries are left that border it, which is a bit cumbersome.

In the instructions, it should not say that states "without borders" are not included - every state by definition must have borders, otherwise it would not be a state. It should say "states not sharing land borders with any other state". Natural borders and sea borders are still borders (: Thank you!

You gotta know which countries take out the most other countries. It should be easy with Russia, China, Congo....but there are others. Guess them first, then you have less to type in.

Lots of fun! For beginners on this quiz: An example of strategy is that only three countries work for Liechtenstein--Liechtenstein, Austria and Switzerland. Of those three, Austria is by far the shortest and therefore fastest to type. Also, Tajikistan helps because of all the countries it borders. And Italy and Laos not just for the ones they border, but they are nice and short.

This is a bit odd. I just took the quiz untimed and got 100%. You are not supposed to get points for taking a quiz untimed but I got 5 points and my stats say best score 157/157. I also got the border badge.

Replace Kenya and Eritrea by Ethiopia; since you take Congo as well, you catch Tanzania with the latter. Would be funny to find out the master list: What's the minimum of countries (and which) and what's the minimum of characters needed to solve the quiz successfully.

Great quiz. Just wondering, why is Sri Lanka included. To my knowledge it doesn't border any other countries.

crazymofogirl

level 24

Sep 5, 2018

It is actually considered a land border to India! This is because at times during low tide, you can walk straight from India to Sri Lanka, which means it's not an island at all times, so it is technically a land border to Indi! I know, cool, right?!

Sri Lanka is a island, and is not connected to india

crazymofogirl

level 24

Sep 5, 2018

It is considered a border to India because at certain points, you can walk to it during low tide, so it is not COMPLETELY cut off by water.

level 61

May 28, 2019

In the netherlands at low tide you can walk to the wadden islands, but noone would ever say they are connected to the mainland.

Can you find me an authorative source that states that sri lanka is not an island? Cause all I keep finding is that it is an island nation, which is seperated from india. (And that it was centuries ago that that landbridge was passable by foot. I am not sure if tides were taken into account, but you would think there would ve been mentions of it. Maybe if people have passed it, they didnt mind wading a bit?)

I am not entirely sure what the story is, but from what I understood Sri Lanka is of course an island country. The hypothetical border is on a small island (between continental India and the main Sri Lanka island) that is shared by the two countries and only appears during low tide.

level 61

May 28, 2019

If you search for if you can walk across, the answer consistently is NO, not since the 15th century (1480). Though a few bits of Adam's bridge/Rama setu are above water most of it isnt, and can be up to 10 meters below the surface.

the presence of a border doesn't necessarily mean you can walk from mainland India to Sri Lanka! You can't walk from Dublin to London but there is an Ireland-UK border

I too got the badge on untimed, and it says 157/157. Is that supposed to happen? I had read it in the comments. But forgot about it, I was doing the untimed map to work out a strategy. And suddenly the badge popped up.

might not make people happy but I think this calls for a reset, cause people will get the badge without effort.
