Click START to begin - then fill in the 100 squares with World countries (see NAMING NOTE below) based on the categories in the rows and cells. For example, if you are looking at a cell with 'Asia' in its row, and 'Starts With A' in the column, that cell can be filled in with 'Armenia.' Many shortened names of countries are accepted, such as DRC, CAR, UAE, UK, US, etc. Answering a country which doesn't fit in any remaining unanswered cell will end the quiz.
Occasionally a cell may not have a qualifying answer, in which case it will appear blank and be a gimme. After completing the quiz you can simply click RESTART to play again.
Please note that 'star on flag' does not include a representation of the Sun.
Scoring is based on 100 points for each correct (or blank) square, and 5 points are subtracted for every second used on the quiz. So you are rewarded for getting squares quickly, however be careful as not to name a country which doesn't qualify for an open cell.
NAMING NOTE: You must type a '.' (period) after a country name or abbreviation to submit it, to prevent entering a country you don't want to (i.e. Guinea when you want to enter Guinea Bissau). For country naming purposes, the following names are used: Cote d'Ivoire, Timor-Leste.

updated to include a new international border.
sounds omnious! 😀
these are two of the least ominous countries 🙂
Canada and Denmark?
yep in the past year they agreed to share an island and thus a land border
The instructions say “any land border excluding a man-made structure” but you still have Bahrain and Singapore on the list. Aren’t their borders by man-made structures?
they are causeways which are built on land embankments. I’ll mention this in the directions that I include causeways.
I can’t do less than 36.. any suggest?
35. You don’t need China, if that helps. If you’re at 36 then you probably already do all the countries that border one border countries.
