Hi Malcolm. Why is Greenland not an option?
And I don't think Coolangatta is in North America. You are thinking of Tweed Heads.

Because Denmark are Euro cunts and they can't just go shoving bits into other continents and expecting them to count. Bloody Kevin will let them over here if we're not careful. Their princes are already shoving their bits into our birds.

Why isn't the actual answer one of the options?

Which one?
According to Wikipedia, the correct answer is in this list.

Then we're looking at two different Wiki-pedia articles.

I'm looking at the same article as Hoblit, I guess.

My bad; Spud, Hoblit, and Jast are all right. I was confusing it with The Bahamas (curse you, Mike Love!). D'oh.
So the actual correct answer isn't on the list. I still wouldn't have gotten it anyway.

Yes, this is my understanding, unless Barbados and Berumda is the same thing...

Barbados would come in at #2, making it the best answer on the list.

I disagree.
Denyer's question was specifically:
Which North American
country has the greatest population density
Bermuda (pronounced /b3:ˈmjuːdə/; officially, the Bermuda Islands or the Somers Isles) is a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermuda
Bermuda is not a "country".
The answer is Barbados - as was most correctly provided as an option by Mr Denyer.

That is lame. A country doesn't have to be sovereign to be considered a country. You should probably stay away from Ireland. (and an S-Ton of other countries for that matter...) Hell, I know a few Puerto Ricans that would like to argue with you for that matter.

It will be a cold day in hell before I ever consider Bermuda to be a "country"
There are currently 195 independent countries or States around the world. Territories of countries or individual parts of a country are not countries in their own right.
Examples of entities that are not countries include: Hong Kong, Bermuda, Greenland, Puerto Rico, and most notably the constituent parts of the United Kingdom. (Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England are not countries.)

So...are we going to go ahead and put Taiwan on that list or what? (yes, I see that these folks couldn't figure out what to CATEGORIZE Taiwan as.)
Who makes these rules again? Like I said, BS.

...therefore missing my point entirely.
Actually, I have to think that you got my point and are still disagreeing without dragging on the argument, and I can appreciate that.
