   so what’s up people? is it too difficult? :)

2. Red red red (July 19th, 2005 at 4:02 pm ):

   No, it’s just that you kept us waiting for too long and most of us got tired of waiting, i guess :(((

3. Red red red (July 19th, 2005 at 4:04 pm ):

   Hate to be the spoiler again, but #15 is, in fact, two countries. It used to be one, but it’s no longer the case.

4. Deacon (August 19th, 2005 at 11:45 am ):

   Ouch… 3 and 14 are impossible. I looked at them for an hour.

5. eszpee (August 20th, 2005 at 1:26 am ):

   Deacon, if you have all the others except for these two, you can be pretty proud, this is probably our hardest quiz ever.

6. leonami (August 29th, 2005 at 7:11 am ):

   this is insanely hard :(
   I’ve gotten 2 so far and now i’m stuck…
   The problem is that they are like flipped and not according to how you see them on a world map

7. ses (September 1st, 2005 at 10:46 am ):

   leonami, don’t give up.

   when we tested this in our home web magazine, we sarcastically thought we had an impossible one on our hands. it did not take a day to have our first full score, and several other people followed.

   tricky hungarians, it might be, but you do have a chance if you persevere… :)

   ps. yes, they are like flipped. we would never bother you guys with something too easy ;)

8. HerrieM (September 9th, 2005 at 3:10 pm ):

   This is quite a challeng.
   Can anyone give hints for 4, 8, 11 and 15

9. HerrieM (September 10th, 2005 at 12:06 am ):

   Sorry, i was to hasty.
   I now only need clues for 4 and 15

10. fast (September 12th, 2005 at 2:51 am ):

12. Rain (September 18th, 2005 at 11:56 pm ):

    I’ve got only 16 and 17. Really tough stuff…
    Those who have solved lots of’em - cuold you tell, are they all rotated randomly or just by 90 or 180 degrees?

13. Rain (September 18th, 2005 at 11:58 pm ):

    Oh, sorry, I’ve got the 5th one too of course :)

    Still #15… Any clues of the region or climate or… anything but poverty?

19. Kate (October 13th, 2005 at 9:41 pm ):

    Got every answer except 11 and 12… any more help? The fact that 11 is an SU republic doesn’t help me much. Sorry…

    15 is in Africa in the eastern half of the country. It looks just like it would in an atlas.

20. Kate (October 13th, 2005 at 9:42 pm ):

    Whoops, never mind. 15 is flipped.

24. Stereo (March 2nd, 2006 at 3:17 am ):

    #15 is indeed in eastern Africa, although Africa isn’t a country :p. Covering the right part with your hand might help - the part with the horn on the right is part of another country, which touches the Arabian sea. The country we are looking for is landlocked.

25. bojster (October 7th, 2006 at 10:41 am ):

    I got them all, but (as already pointed in the comments) 15 is in fact two countries sticked together…
    Thanks for the fun. :-)

26. hansz (November 27th, 2006 at 8:48 am ):

28. Kristy (December 24th, 2006 at 10:14 am ):

    Something is seriously wrong with me! I have them all except #17. I even found lists on countries and their capitals and the ones I’ve put it aren’t right.

29. Amanda (December 30th, 2006 at 11:54 pm ):

    #17 took me ages also. Its totally flipped in a way its almost unrecognizable. Its south of the United States. Pay special attention to the seperate part that juts outward. It’s what made me realize what it was.

30. Arbiter (January 3rd, 2007 at 9:11 pm ):

    I would have finished if the countries weren’t rotated.
