what about the arctic?
The Arctic is the general name for the area around the North Pole. It is not a country.
Great teaser!
what about Angola, I'm pretty sure there are other countries out there that start with A but end in another letter, and I do realize that it was a trivia teaser so I didn't really expect to be teased but all in all it was a good think!
great one. but what about American Samoa?
achillesfeb17 - Surprisingly, Afghanistan and Azerbaijan are the only countries that begin and end in different letters even though there are around 15 countries that start with 'A'! ...
I Don't think that Achilles and Ghetto got the jist of this one !!!
Cool riddle!
Okay. I got one, but missed the other one. Good job.
I believe that the Azores are a country in their own right.
first is very easy, i got it in a second...forgot the second one though.
WOW! good job, i got Afganizstan, but I'd never HEARD of the other! Sounds like I need a geography lesson
I agree w/ Phil and me too Trickart. Never heard of the second one.
I got Azerbaijan right away and it took me a little bit to think up Afghanistan.
Very clever and tricky, i like this one a lot. Keept hem coming.
Uh, America is not a country. It is what we commonly name the U.S. of A.
The teaser was enjoyable and a great geography check-up but...you touched what is a sore spot for many people from the United States of America. There is no country, America. The Americas encompass two continents and many vibrant cultures and countries.
Also, you did miss the Azores and American Samoa in your list of possible answers to the question.

Please ignore American Samoa above. Emotion got in the way of thinking.
Azores = islands in the Atlantic Ocean belonging to Portugal. Therefore not a country ... just a region of one.
Good trivia.
