It would be wise to include a footnote that European countries without boundaries are not being considered.

Luxembourg should be on the list, as should Monaco, San Marino, and Liechtenstein. I suppose the Vatican can be exempted, given its unique status.

Luxembourg has a lower HDI than Belgium and Germany, so it can't be an answer. The same applies to Liechtenstein in relation to both Switzerland and Austria.

Monaco is excluded from the Human Development Report.

Too much time. At some point, you have enough time to start guessing and typing all European countries

I definitely agree. I guessed pretty randomly at the last couple, and still finished in 1:18. Especially since I knew they had to be countries that didn't border ones I'd already named, I didn't even need to guess at all of the countries. I think 2:00 would be absolutely the most needed, but think it would be more fun at 1:30 or even 1:00.

I didn't expect Spain to be higher than France, so I didn't try it. Oh well...

I tried it, even though I knew it was "wrong," for the reason you stated.

Montenegro shouldn't be on a list, as it borders Croatia and Croatia has HDI of 0.851
