Note - The quiz is made in such a way that, if you do pay attention to or ignore, the borders, of Gibraltar UK - Spain. Montenegro - Croatia. UK - Cyprus the quiz will play the same either way. You do however need to pay attention to the Kaliningrad Russia border with Poland and Lithuania, this is common in Sporcle quizzes, and the highlighted area clearly shows this is included.


 * Step 1: Countries beginning with 'M' are safe, so Montenegro, Malta, Monaco, Moldova must be safe, and can all be clicked.


 * Step 2: Since Monaco is a '0' France must be safe and can be clicked.


 * Step 3: Since Montenegro is a '0' Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, must be safe and can be clicked.


 * Step 4: Since Bosnia and Herzegovina is a '0' Croatia must be safe and can be clicked. (If the player viewed Croatia as safe and clicked it, as it technically borders Montenegro, it doesn't matter the quiz would play almost exactly the same either way)


 * Step 5: Since Croatia is a '0' Slovenia, and Hungary must be safe and can be clicked.


 * Step 6: Since Kosovo is a '1' and North Macedonia is the only neighbor left uncovered, North Macedonia must be a mine and can be marked as a mine.


 * Step 7: Since Albania is a '1' and it borders North Macedonia which has been marked as a mine, Albania's neighbor Greece must be safe and can be clicked.


 * Step 8: As Moldova is a '1' either Ukraine or Romania must be a mine. Hungary is a '1' Hungary's one adjacent mine must be in either Ukraine or Romania (due to Moldova's 1) so this means Hungary's neighbors Austria and Slovakia must be safe and can be clicked.


 * Step 9: Slovenia is a '1', Slovenia only has one uncovered neighbor, Italy. Italy must be mine and can be marked as a mine.


 * Step 10: France is a '2'. France borders Italy which has been marked as a mine. This means Frances neighbors Switzerland and Germany cannot both be mine (Either Switzerland OR Germany could be a mine but not both of them as this would make France a 3 or higher)
 * Austria is '4'. Austria borders Italy which has been marked as a mine, which means Austria has 3 more adjacent mines left to find. Austria has 4 uncovered neighbors, Switzerland, Germany, Liechtenstein, and Czechia. Since both Switzerland and Germany cannot both be mines (due to France) this means both Liechtenstein and Czechia must be mines and can be marked as mines.


 * Step 11: Austria is '4' and has 3 adjacent mines marked. This means one of Germany or Switzerland must be a mine. France is a '2' and already borders the mine marked in Italy. France borders both Switzerland and Germany (one of which must be a mine due to Austria). This means Frances neighbors, Andorra, Spain, Luxembourg and Belgium must be safe and can all be clicked.


 * Step 12: Since Spain is a '0' Portugal must be safe and can be clicked.


 * Step 13: Since Luxembourg is a '0' Germany must be safe and can be clicked.


 * Step 14: Since Belgium is a '1', its only uncovered neighbor Netherlands must be a mine, and can be marked as mine.


 * Step 15: Germany is a '5', it is adjacent to 2 mines, Czechia and Netherlands, it has 3 more adjacent mines. Germany only has 3 remaining uncovered neighbors, Switzerland, Denmark and Poland, all 3 must be mines and can be marked as mines.


 * Step 16: Slovakia is a '2' and is next to Poland and Czechia which have been marked as mines, so Slovakia's neighbor Ukraine must be safe and can be clicked.


 * Step 17: Moldova is a '1' Moldova's one remaining uncovered neighbor, Romania must be a mine and can be marked a mine.


 * Step 18: Serbia is a '2' and is next to the mines in Romania and North Macedonia, this means Bulgaria is safe and can be clicked.


 * Step 19: Turkey must be a mine as both Greece and Bulgaria have one more mine to be adjacent to, and Turkey is the only neighbor left, so can be marked as a mine.


 * Step 20: Ukraine is a '2' and is next to 2 marked mines in Poland and Romania, this means Ukraine's neighbors Belarus and Russia must be safe and can be clicked.


 * Step 21: Belarus is a '2' either Latvia or Lithuania must be a mine. Russia is a '2' since it already borders the mine in Poland it only has one more adjacent mine. Since Russia's last adjacent mine has to be in Lithuania or Latvia this means Russia's other remaining neighbors Estonia, Finland, and Norway must be safe and can be clicked.


 * Step 22: Since Estonia is a '1' it's last remaining uncovered neighbor Latvia must be a mine and can be marked as a mine.


 * Step 23: Lithuania must be safe as it's next to Russia and Belarus, and they both have no more adjacent mines to find.


 * Step 24: Sweden must be a mine a it's next to Norway and Finland which both have one adjacent mine to identify, and only one uncovered neighbor, Sweden can be marked as a mine.


 * Step 25: Quiz states there are 12 mines, and 12 mines have now been identified. Quiz now states there are 6 countries left to click, and there should now be exactly 6 countries left that have not been marked as mines. The last remaining 6 countries UK, Ireland, Iceland, San Marino, Vatican City, and Cyprus must all be safe and all be clicked. All 35 safe countries should now be clicked.

You have to consider Gibraltar UK - Spain to not be a border between the countries.


 * Step 1: The quiz states countries beginning with S are safe, so San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, and Switzerland can be clicked.

 * Step 5: Slovenia is marked a 2 and has 3 unmarked neighbors, Croatia, Austria, and Hungary, since only one of these mines can occupy Austria or Hungary due to them bordering Austria's 1, this means Croatia has to contain a mine, and can be marked as such.


 * Step 6: Czechia is marked a 2, and only has 2 unmarked neighbors, Germany and Austria, those two countries must be mines and can be marked as such.


 * Step 7: Italy is marked a 1, and borders Austria which has been marked as a mine, so Italy's neighbors Switzerland, France, and Vatican City must be safe and can be clicked.

The quiz states there are 15 mines, so there are 7 mines left. 1 more mine must be next to France, as France is a 3 but only has 2 neighboring mines so far. 4 more mines must be next to Serbia as only 1 of its 5 neighboring mines have been identified. 2 more mines must be next to Poland. There are 7 mines left to identify, and in total 7 more mines must be next to France(1), Poland(2), and Serbia(4). So the countries not bordering any of these 3 countries must be safe. Netherlands, Denmark, Turkey, Greece, Albania, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, UK, Ireland, Iceland, Malta, and Cyprus cannot be mines and can be clicked.


 * Step 13: Netherlands is a 1 and is next to the mine in Germany so Netherlands neighbor Belgium must be safe and can be clicked.

 * Step 21: Leaving the last mine in Lithuania as it's the last uncovered country next to Poland, Belarus and Latvia which still have a neighboring mine to identify, if the game is still going Lithuania can be marked as a mine, and if all 15 mines are safely marked, any missed safe countries such as the island countries can now be clicked.
