The instruction "completely surrounded" (you wrote "completED surrounded", by the way) is perfectly clear. Anyway, the title "sandwiched" first made me think of USA and later Uruguay, wondering, why it didn't work. My own fault. Great Quiz idea!
Actually whether Moldova is by the sea is quite a dispute. You zoom in the map and a tiny bit of the southern part actually get in touch with the Danube
Agree - great quiz idea. The term "completely surrounded" does carry the idea, but I spent the first sixty seconds confused why I wasn't getting Panama, USA, Belize, etc. I think an extra note specifying "not by water" would help make it just that much more understandable.
Yeah, I tried Tunisia like five times and then gave up. Figured the quiz was flawed. I understand now that the instructions are clear enough, but it couldn't hurt to add that water borders disqualify a country from being "sandwiched."
I found it pretty irritating that countries that have coasts are not included. Of course there would be way more, but I had a couple of ideas, like El Salvador being sandwiched between Guatemala and Honduras, North Korea being sandwiched between China and South Korea or Guinea Bissau being sandwiched between Guinea and Senegal. Maybe it would be helpful to add to the description that the countries have to be landlocked.
Oh... It wasn't intentional, even I didn't thought it was making Mongolian Flag!
Nice Coincidence!
I've changed the colour codes to match Mongolian Flag codes. It is a hint now! ^_^
It's just a little bit of a shame that the rules for the quiz have to rule it out.
I have translated this quiz into german. If you are not okay with it, please contact me.
