Countries of the World Quiz

apparently there's still about 21 percent of people who weren't aware of south sudan. I say that because if you get sudan, then you should also get south sudan. it's just like north and south korea now.

Don't hold your fellow man to such high standards. I wouldn't of been surprised if over 50% didn't even know about South Sudan

... or south korea! :-D

or your fellow woman O.o

True. I didn't know that South Sudan existed until I took this quiz a few times.

True. I didn't know woman existed until I saw redsplat's comment.

I don't

Meanwhile 3/10 people reading these comments are scratching their heads thinking, "what's Sudan?"

WOW! I missed Italy

Well done. Now it's time for independence for the Conch Republic.

Nice. After taking many attempts to finally learn them all several months ago, my own averages on countries like Comoros and Kiribati were a little lower than I would have liked. But now, after the reset, I can proudly claim 100% on all of them. :D

Okay so I cheated a little but this makes me more aware of countries across the world, without cheating i'd have gotten about 150 countries. It's all the little islands that get me everytime.

Just to be picky, but shouldn't the Congos have to be entered separately? They *are* different countries after all.

I agree. They're completely different countries. Instead of just Congo, do DRC and RC.

Nice thought. I'm willing to bet that most people who get Congo probably realize that there are two of them, so they just give you a gimmie.

Then shouldn't we get a gimme for guinea, equatorial guinea, guinea-bissau, and New Guinea? :-P j/k btw ;)

Cool! southern Sudan. Time to re take the quiz.

186/196 sooo clooooseeeeee

Anyone let me know if you can beat 100% with 5:50 remaining. I'm going for 6 minutes next time.

5:48 remaining lol

7:55 left. I'm trying to do them all in less than 4 minutes... so close!

7:19 remaining. My wrists are starting to hurt!

I may or may not have spent 2 hours memorizing all the countries so that I may have gotten 100% on the quiz...

For some reason no matter how I spell Equador it doesn't work??

it is spelled ecuador with a "c"

Have you tried spelling it correctly?

kalbahamut - this made me chuckle thank you :)

my pleasure.

YES! 5:07 remaining! Took over 25 tries, including the old version, but I finally got it in less than 7 minutes! Woo!

Thanks Quizmaster.

Inbetween1 it is spelled Ecuador :)

acer, I got it down to 8:12 left, but that's only because I'm a super fast typer. Also don't know if you know but the quiz accepts uae for United Arab Emirates, usa, and uk so you don't have to type those all out :)

171/196 = 87%.

I did it without the map, and got all but two!!!!!!!! but, i did miss Ukraine and Brunei; Ukraine is obvious oh well

Sharastarr1, thanks, got it down to 6:25. I can't go any faster I don't think. I type about 60 wpm, so you must be doing 90 or 100.

122/196. Not terrible for a 17 year old American on the first try.

Ummm, I'm 12 and I got all 196.... :p

I knew most of them thanks to the Animaniacs, but I had trouble on spelling many of them. "United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Haiti, Jamaica, Peru..."

niger nigeria chad and liberia...i might have had that song playing on my ipod the first few times....

This quiz is so much fun! I am going to keep trying until I get them all. I'm up to 85% now. When I remember obscure ones I forget easier ones. For the longest time I kept skipping Bosnia Herzegovina for no good reason! :D

@Kiden, that's a great song :D

196!!! woohoo :)

190 ALMOST THERE!

What happened to French Guyana? iits just a yellow space!

French Guyana isn't a country.

French Guyana ought to be colored in when you type France.

@ trod-True, French Guyana should be colored in when you type France, just like Greenland should be colored in when you type Denmark and New Caledonia be colored in when you type France also.

Just wondering how many of us have cracked the 8:00 barrier and the top 10 fasted times

@brpetrelli French Guiana isn't a sovereign state, it's an overseas territory of France, which is why I would imagine it's blocked out, so people don't try guessing it.

I didn't realise it was blocked out, so I kept trying heaps of different spellings! ;P

man 184! I'm getting so close :D

finally got em all

I'm so frustrated. I keep missing just one! It's not even the same one! LOL

awwww lol

This quiz helped me a lot. The first time I took it, I think I got around 120 or maybe even less. Now I'm on 192/196 and I can also place exactly where ~80% of the countries are on a map too.

Cool! This is exactly why I recommend this to my students of all ages. Keep at it. This is one of my favorite geography games, but I also recommend trying a variety -- http://webhost.bridgew.edu/jhayesboh/geogames/

try doing the traveler iq challenge. You can find it on google. Great game, very fun, it will help you with exact locations of cities since once you've mastered where all the countries are.

100% with 2:20 left : ) Now I just have to wittle down the time

@brpetrelli - French Guyana is part of France. Just like Greenland is part of Denmark, etc.

I did it !

Yay! lol

Grrrr! Africa, the -stans and Oceania always mess me up. 129/196

If you can remember the two most well-known afghanistan and pakistan then that's your start. then just remember KKTTU. That will do it for you, and will make it actually one of the easier sections. Geographically, starting with Kazakhstan, the countries go alphabetically in a clockwise ring, like a clock. Kaz, Kyr, Taj, Tkm, Uzb. I have difficulty with West Africa (sierra leone, ivory coast, and liberia I'm often a little slower on). The small countries around Saudi Arabia also go a little slow for me.

Those are all good ideas... One thing I did to remember the problem areas is I did just them over and over. Do all of Africa (or just the western part), then click "Give up" and start over. I also made a text file of the countries I missed a lot. I can now get them all. Also, stupid little things can help you remember country names... For example... Maldives is out in the Indian Ocean, so I think of diving into the ocean. I could never remember "Comoros", so I remember it by thinking "My brain is in a coma, and I'm morose that I can't remember this island." It's stupid I know, but it works. It's a memorization technique called "Memory Theater". The more absurd the association, the more apt you are to remember it!

8:01! So close

Ok 7:41 I'm going to stop aiming for a record now :P

@glennish I'd love to know the top ten too!

5:42... wish I could type faster!

ooh i was so close i missed lebanon (somehow), comoros, and samoa

Dang the average is 107!! holy cow I though 76 was alot...

196/196 with 5:08 remaining. Is there a documented record?

5:54 aaaaarrrghh!

Quizmaster...you could give us a top 10 recorded times for completing this quiz right?

My best time finishing with 8 minutes on the dot left...so anything close to 4 min is doable...anything faster than 3 minutes 30 seconds would be impossible...could you tell us how many people have times in the 4 min to 3:30 range? Just interested to see how many people can do this faster than 4 min but not cheating

just updating...finally broke 4 min...3:59...Quizmaster: what times were you considering too fast?

not to say I'm the fastest typer in the world, and if someone can get this done in close to 3 minutes I'm in awe....I'm constantly typing as fast as I can with only a few misspelling pauses and 3:59 is the fastest I can do this...I think my peak would maybe be 3:45-3:35 if I typed perfectly. What is the fastest time overall...I'm just wondering how fast a cheater can do this...I'm assuming it must still take them about a minute.

I'm overly competitive. Sorry about bugging you

177, my best yet!

Been doing this about 2 weeks and have finally got all of them.The one I kept missing was Sierra Leone for some reason! Now at just under 9 1/2 minutes.I have no idea how anyone human could type them all in 3 minutes.......

100% :) You should really have to type in Congo and DR Congo separately.

I used to miss Sierra leone as well...I dont think 3 minutes is possible either, but then again I used to think 7 minutes was impossible and I can do it under 4 now on occasion. Still 3 min would have to be one of the fastest typers in the world

I am slowly getting faster, but getting them all in 8 minutes is my best time. Notice how so many of us are trying to improve our speed that the average correct is going up - it was 107 not that long ago, and is now up to 109. I'd like to know the average for the first try.

So I thought I'd done it again and hadn't realised that since last night there are now 2 Congos...more long winded names to type...will never beat the time I've set now!

Ignore my last comment! I must have missed Congo for the first time and hadn't realised that it fills 2 gaps in when you add it. Sorry,my mistake.

This quiz made me want to learn all the countries in the world. Now I get 100% every time, go me!

Hah, same here, loved showing off to my friends in computer class.

I think my best time is around 3 minutes and 45 seconds, so under 4 minutes is definitely doable. (This took me a number of times trying, however) Kudos to whoever can do it win 3 minutes and 4 seconds!

100%!!!

I wish the quizzes recorded your best time as well as your highest score

I'm up to 163. If I remember a few that I usually don't, I leave off a few that I usually don't. Ai carumba!

Umm, when you say 3 minutes, do you mean you do it in 3 minutes meaning you have 9 minutes left, or you have 3 minutes left? 6 minutes is as fast as I can do it. that's easy to explain since it's exactly half the time.

Up to 174! I will get them all eventually.

Completed with 6:09 remaining :)

i wonder what the stats would look like if it didnt include people who retake the quiz over and over again

for example theres no way 1 in 3 ppl know the country Mauritius

@acer I meant is as I completed the quiz in 3 minutes and 45 seconds (so 8 minutes left), so I'm assuming that's what quizmaster meant too :)

milk - mauritius is actually a popular tourist destination. I'm surprised more people don't know it

Every single one of the 196 I've memorized. I would think that the least guessed would be some of the lesser antilles or some of the oceania countries such as tonga, vanatu, etc. but it is actually sao tome and principe. Didn't think that would be least guessed.

100% 4:22 remaining.... FINALLY.

Best time ever ~ 6:22 left!!!! =)

omg I couldn't figure out how to spell kazakhstan!!! and while taking this quiz I suddenly forgot all the countries I knew... funny how that happens

Yah, me too. My mind went blank. I said Vatican but not Vatican City.

finished with 7:44 left!

Up to 183. I've started trying to put the ones I have trouble remembering first. Singapore, East Timor, and most of Oceania always give me trouble.

Up to 187, slowly getting closer but there's still 9 that I can never remember! Ahh!

100% finally! :)

I'm at 191. Cannot for the life of me get 100%! Arghh. I am wasting way too much time with this.

Great quiz. I've learned a lot. I'm a quadriplegic and my typing is limited to one thumb. So I use voice activated software to fill out the countries. Unfortunately the software makes lots of mistakes--ginny for Guinea, dionna for Guyana, etc.--which I have to correct w/ the thumb. Still I'm up to 180 in 12 minutes.

Dragon Naturally Speaking is what I use, primarily because I can train it to correctly 'hear' what I'm saying, but it's actually fairly accurate on country names (especially Niger, which is NOT pronounced the same as the first part of Nigeria).

All done in 2.34 with 9.26 remaining including redoing a few typos, so I could probably shave .10 off my time if I kept at it. So yes, Quizmaster, it can be done fast without voice activation software or other cheating methods :) I don't even type properly - a glorified hunt and peck refined from years of practice - so I imagine an excellent typist could finish quite faster than me. I take the quiz frequently just to keep my memory skills sharp without signing in - but when I saw the new competition for fast times I just had to give it an official try myself. Everyone keep having fun with this and all the other great quizzes - JetPunk rocks!

YESSSS! I have been doing this quiz every morning, and today was my first time getting it done. I have 2:50 left to spare, so I'm not nearly in the running for fastest time, I'm just glad I've learned so much in the past few weeks. I make myself do it once a day, and I would have finished yesterday if not for dadgummed Nauru. I'll never forget it now, though :) Guess I get to work on world capitals next.

How about making the ultimate geography quiz that blends the Countries of the World quiz along with the Capitals of the World??

ineedahobby- I don't mean to accuse you of cheating by any means, but finishing this quiz in under 3 minutes is rediculous...that would mean you are typing faster than a country a second...while I can do this with certain countries...like for all the guinea(s) I dont see how with countries like central african republic that anyone could average less than a second per country..I'm certainly not the fastest typer in the world, but I like to think I'm pretty quick and with a handfull of typos the fastest I've finished is 3:49 (with 8:11 remaining)..When transcribing the average WPM is 40 (with a standard deviation of 16.25) so 69.75 WPM (your average) would be almost 2 standard deviations away from the average...or in other words almost the best anyone could hope for...Obviously anyone of us that is finishing this in under 6 or 7 minutes has the countries memorized, but its still not the same as typing what is being said to you...so, I would think 3 minutes would be close to the fastest anyone could do this wit

Just as a follow up...only 5% of pro typers type at 70 WPM or better, and the average typo rate is 4% meaning that on a quiz like this 7-8 typos would be average for a pro typer...So, if you have the ability to do this in well under 3 min...you are probably the fastest person taking this quiz legitimately.

Finally, I have been working on this for way too long, but I finally got them all. With just 1:50 left it's nothing to brag about, but I don't care, I'm just happy for myself.

Yes! 100% after days of learning the countries, reciting over and again etc. The hard work finally paid off lol

I finally learned all the countries with a lot of time left on my timer. Now I just have to learn all the capitals too, and then.. The flags... Maybe something else too :D

all with 3:04 left. no cheating.

6:22 damn I need to warm up my hands.

Sooooo close! 195 this time. Only forgot Samoa. Not much longer until I get them all.

Finally... I've been doing this quiz like everyday for weeks now and i finally got 100% with 43 seconds to spare... sooo happy :D

7:27, I'm getting better. I'll stop when I reach 8 min. :P

Woot! Yesterday I got them all with 24 seconds left..today with 49 seconds left. Love this quiz!

umm id dont get how anyone can learn to spell half of those names i only got 59 (i realey dont get spellings)

slytherinsnakelover - some of us obviously care a bit more about our spelling

You guys are great. My record is 96, still trying to hit 100. I have gotten 124 correct, just not all at once. I keep drawing blanks and forgetting some.

Keep going, YoungSinema! It has taken me months to get all of them. This is such a great quiz.

Woo did in 1 second (11:59)... it counts if I use an auto typing macro right? :D

Arghhh for some reason I ALWAYS forget one or two countries..and they are usually in the oceania area... But I am proud to say I finally reached 100% with 4:50 left. Yess! Now just to beat my time :) Lol..not sure why I've been so obsessed with this quiz!!

This was my fourth try. I turned the time off to see how many I would get. I missed 6.

I didn't even know you could turn the time off! YoungSinema - I found if there were always some I was forgetting, I'd write a few of them down on a piece of paper, and after I had entered all that I could remember, I would check the paper and enter any I'd forgotten. After a while I wouldn't need to check the paper

5:06 left for me! I'm improving my time every day (even though it's not that impressive compared to some, I'm still happy for myself!)

Young Sinema...This is how I got them all (it took me probably about 25 doing the quiz or so). First go through all the regions and try to get as many as you can...then with the harder countries just try to remember all the countries with the same first letter...Like I do malta,maldives,moldova, and monaco at the same time...and angola,andora, and antigua...Bahrain,bhutan,brunei, and burma....things like that will help

Lebanon ALWAYS deceives me. 4:22 remaining is my best score so far.

5:14 remaining! And I typed most of South America in one box, after having typo'd Argentina, so I can definitely get faster.

196 with 4 minutes left. My personal best. Love this quiz! Now I have to work on learning all the capitals.

I've gotten it to 8:13 left....so 3:47...If I can get to 8:30 I think that will be my ceiling

I think I've peaked at 5.31 left - it seems to be my average, and I'm just not getting any faster

I did it in 10:15 left.... haha beat that

I'm almost there. Best I can do it 180/196 without help. The African countries are quite difficult whereas I have N.A., S.A., Asia, Australia, and Europe memorized.

IMHO better to go with regions than trying to do them in alphabetical order. anyone who can get more than half of these countries probably knows about where everything is, and whatever they don't know, they can learn very quickly. then you are able to visualize the map, and do one region at a time. Having a good visual grasp makes it MUCH easier than trying to do them in ABC order, trust me. Same applies with the periodic table.

I start with USA, Canada, Mexico, countries of Central America, then South America, then Caribbean islands. Then I do all of Europe in ABC order. On to Africa, starting with Algeria, and working east, then down a layer and back west in an "S" pattern. Don't forget the 4 islands on the East. Middle Eastern countries are next. Just getting all the surrounding countries of Saudi Arabia (about 15 of them), is all you need to do. Then with Asia, I just work in a general eastern direction starting from the middle east area. I don't know why but I always group Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos, and type them together. I will also type China, Mongolia, the Koreas, and Japan together. Then hit the Asian islands (the ones north, or west of Australia). Then Australia, and the South Pacific Oceania islands (everything east of Australia). There you have it. West to east pattern, with some small group organization.

haha i also group thailand, cambodia, laos, vietnam -- and of course the 4 b's - burma, brunei, bhutan & bangladesh ... also do the mongolia, china, japan, koreas, singapore/taiwan (sometimes before the thailand group, sometimes after, depending on my mood)

I remember them in geographic order not alphabetic order. I think it's easier to remember that way. I can do it without looking at the map because the map appears in my head.

Oceania grouping: Largest and most well-known islands are (Australia, New Zealand, Fiji). The three outcasts are (Papua New Guinea, Kiribati, Tonga). Next is all countries that end in "U" (Nauru, Palau, Tuvalu, Vanuatu). Last are the "M and S" islands (Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands).

I start with USA, Canada, Mexico, UK, Ireland, Iceland, Australia and New Zealand - otherwise I forget them because they're so obvious. The rest is done region by region, but not always in a specific order

Woo down to 7:46 remaining!

Got everything except 3 in oceania. I'm so close now. starting to work on capitals too!

I seem to be peaking at about 5: 30 remaining. Not sure how people are getting everything with 7 and 8 minutes left. :\

hell yeah! 196/196! should include palestine from now on

@juanne Palestine is not a country. It's a geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan river.

i really need to get better at africa. :\

188 96%

I am obsessed with this quiz! I have been challenging my family and so far no one has beat me... but i still haven't hit 196. I find central Africa hard and south-eastern Europe.

What I do is study the maps during class time at school. I have trouble with Africa and Oceania but on a good day I can name the entire North American, South American, European and Asian continent. Though I do have a short attention span so the studying doesn't always last. The important thing just keep trying!!! Those who try will succeed than the ones who cheat. Remember that and maybe quote my awesome advice. ;)

Isn't Taiwan considered part of China? I am aware of the situation with Taiwan given the case maybe you should also add Hong Kong and Macau

tibet is the disputed country, not taiwan

got hung up on that non-highlighted territory in south america.....perhaps should change it so that french guiana gets highlighted when you get france? or change it to white like greenland? i wasted time trying to figure out what the heck i was forgetting in south america LOL

It is the same color as Greenland. lol

118, not bad for a first attempt :)444

Yay. 100%

YES! Finally I beat it, with 48 seconds to spare. Took me about half a minute to think up Lebanon but I did it... I also find it funny how many people can't name seychelles, or comoros, I got both of those easily on my first try but I guess that's because I'm a Madagascar fanatic.

This time I had about 1:48 remaining and ironically I forgot the seychelles until the very last country, only because I happened to look over it.

My record is finishing with 3 minutes left. I have no idea how other people can finish with 5+ minutes left. Perhaps I'm just a slow typer. :/

i cant wait for independence of kurdistan, chechnya/dagestan, western sahara, siberia,, united states of america,, others.... whatever happened to catalonia, brittany, courland, crimean khanate, punjab, mysore, barbary states, scotland, united provinces ... ??? Am i late?

@milk i don't know the stories behind all those others, but scotland is not a sovereign nation, it's part of the uk, and last i checked, united states of america has been independent since 1776.....

Taiwan is not part of China. The Taiwan government claims the "Republic of China" while the government of China is the "People's Republic of China." They are different governments. The Taiwan government is what got forced out by the communists after WWII. All they have left is Taiwan, and the communists have mainland China.

Tonga, Nauru and Solomon islands are the only countries I have yet to even guess, got 191. SO CLOSE!

My best score is 189. It's the countries I can't spell that I don't get! I've mastered Asia, Europe, South America and Australiasia. It's West Africa and the Carribian I struggle on. *-*

Jamaica 62% 0% Fiji 50% 0% Rwanda 46% 0% Liberia 44% 0% Trinidad and Tobago 44% 0% Cameroon 43% 0% Swaziland 40% 0% Lesotho 37% 0% Sierra Leone 36% 0% Maldives 35% 0% Djibouti 35% 0% Grenada 33% 0% Burundi 31% 0% Palau 29% 0% Nauru 27% 0% Sao Tome and Principe The ones I missed. I do know them all, I just ran out of time, and I can't spell Jamacia for the life of me!

4:08 remaining. I'm improving!

194!!! nauru only country i have yet to guess

Wow my first time was horrible. Hahahaha

Those B countries can be tough.... Burundi, Benin, Bhutan Bahrain, Brunei. Phew!

The G's get me - because of Guyana, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, and Papua New Guinea. Oof.

@elm044 this is late in coming, but your problem is probably that you're misspelling Ecuador. There's no q.

6 months since I first completed this quiz, and I still know them all! Best learning aid ever!

perfect for the second time. 2 minutes left. thank you quiz master! I want more

Kosovo and Taiwan are not true countries, they are not UN member states. If you include them, you also have to include Palestine, Western Sahara, Turkish Cyprus, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which are all in the same situation. Also, Kosovo does not show up in this game.

Actually you can be a real country without being member of the UN. Otherwise Switzerland wasn't a real country until 2002. And the Vatican city is still not a member.

You just need to be recognised by the UN not be a member. Which means neither Kosovo or Taiwan should be included as neither are recognised.

@Copper He's right (about Kosovo) I'll get serbia and it will shade in the spot where kosovo belongs which confuses the crap out of me since it looks like I already have it

@copper kosovo shades in, you just have to guess it first. I agree with you about palestine but the other "countries" don't have more than 6 countries recognizing their independence while kosovo has 88 and palestine has 129. Also my first time getting 100% WOOHOO!

@quizmaster Is there any way You can change color for guessed country to red, blue etc? I am daltonist, so i have problem to differentiate some when I get close to the end. I always seem to miss small or micro countries (like east timor, kuwait...), and as I can't locate them on map, it is a problem to end with 100%.

Up to 157 on my third try, which I'm stoked about, but pales in comparison to all you super-dudes that get 100% every time...

Yay, up to 192...getting there :)

Finally.... 1:19 left...

YAY!!! Finally got there, on my 12th attempt! 1:09 left...

Still 20 I keep missing. Damn Carribian

Complete with 6:45 left (granted I have had a few goes)

132, pretty good for a 12 yr old

195!

The thing is, I know all of these, it's just I don't know where they are. For instance, the Oceanian countries: Palau, Vanuatu, Tonga, Samoa, Nauru; I can name them...I just don't know where they are. Seychelles, Micronesia, Fiji, Solomon Islands, and Marshall Islands. I also used to misspell Kyrgyzstan wrong every time, and I probably just spelled it wrong...but 194!

I could only do 40 when I started this quiz a few days ago. Now I'm at 158.If someone ever asks me to name all of the countries in the world from East to West, I'll be ready.

193! I finally memorized the caribbean except for Saint Kitts, Saint Vincent, and Saint Lucia. And I'm not even good at that...my biggest accomplishment so far is memorizing Oceania.

@theLAYTshow Keep going. :) When I started I struggled quite a bit, but now I pretty much breeze through. Very few people know all of the countries the first time they take this quiz, most of us learn as we go. When I started I could get maybe 110, but gradually I learned and remembered and applied it to my next time taking the quiz. Here's hoping you get to 196! :)

Woohoo 169! Africa is freakin' hard!

Thanks @darkseraphim21, I did get there, and my time is improving!!

MISSED 3! GRRRR!

east timor should come up as a micro nation. i can never see it on my map and i have got 195 twice in a row after missing it. :(

Finally managed after daily attempts - how do people have so much time remaining? Doing it with an atlas still requires all that typing!

Woooot! 196/196 with over 4 minutes to spare... somehow I still enjoy doing this..

Is there anyway to find out the fastest finish ever on this?

I keep forgetting Kosovo....

Finally did it!! got them all!

175/196 and i'm 9!. Cheated on the time though...

At least tell a believable lie.

Agree with darkseraphim21. Why does everybody brag about their age. IT DOESN'T MATTER!!

hmm..135 in first attempt...those lititle islands in the pacific are the tricky ones!..and I always miss some on West Africa..

Third time I've taken this, I've managed to forget Bolivia ever single time. D:

WOW! Got all of them with 2 seconds left. Too bad it took me 79 times though.

lol only 79. I think I've done it more than that and still only 196. Is there a way to see how many times you've taken the same tortorous quiz? LOL

100% the first try

So I was able to get them all in 4 miinutes flat after a decent amount of practice. Anyone able to beat that?

165, after my third try.

MORE TIME PLEASE??????????????????????????

Oh my god, finally after months I did it in time!! And with ten seconds to spare :P Think ill have to celebrate this!! haha

I finished with 1.9 seconds to go. I was so excited that I had finished first go. I keep clicking on another page and it refreshes it so I had to keep starting again! So proud of myself. How does everyone else get it so fast? I can't remember half of the countries ahahahah!!

6:25 left

Shucks...I pressed 'give up' by mistake and it is screwed my average score

FINALLY!!! GOT 'EM ALL! With 2:47 remaining

whooof.. finally got all of them.. with time remaining..proud of myself... guess I took about 5 attempts to achieve this..started with 132 in first attempt.

Didn't get Palestinian Authority for some reason

I love doing this quiz over and over. In order to avoid just memorizing words, I start in different locations and move from one country to another. For instance, start in Canada, then to US, etc. until you hit argentina, then maybe across to Oceania, then move up through Asia, etc. Next, I'll start at the tip South Africa and work my way up through Europe and over to Asia, etc. I'm not actually sure where all of the Oceania nations are so I just start throwing names out until all the dots disappear. And the Carribean is hard because the dots are so close together if you forget one, you can't exactly see which one you missed. Finally, quizmaster, I also think that smaller countries like Kosovo, East Timor, and Burundi are very hard to notice when you've missed them. Perhaps if you switched the default color to red, then highlighed in green when you guess correctly, they'd be easier to spot when you miss them because there'd be a bright red dot. Great job, BTW.

Beat it with 4:26 seconds left YAY almost missed east timor

Ha took me 8 times to finally get them all!

My method is Africa first, start with the B's (Burkina Faso, Burundi, Benin, Botswana) then do the C's, the islands, and just generally group the letters together in Africa - also, I like to do Moldova, Kosovo, Albania, Algeria and the Maldives when doing Africa. Then move to Oceania, start with Australia, NZ, PNG and then all the others. Work my way up through South East Asia, then the Middle East making sure to end with the alphabetically organised -stans. Then moving on to Europe, starting with UK, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, micro-nations, bigger nations, ending with all the -ia's (Serbia, Croatia, Slovakia etc.) Finally on to North and Central American, ending the Caribbean with the St's, and South America. Boom, we're done!

I have my own method. I start from Oceania then Asia then Europe then Africa then South America and last but not least North America, that's how I get all 196 countries!

I've been trying to break the record for as fast as humanly possible but I never get to 3:03.. Keep on trying

This quiz is great, I'm taking it everyday and each day I memorize more countries!

MISSED ONE! El Salvador, purely becuase I thought I had put it in. OMG. 1 AWAY FROM 196! Hate life.

Man I need some work. The only countries I named were Antigua, Burundi, Brunei, Comoros, East Timor, Kiribati, Palau, Nauru, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Saint Kitts, Dominica, Suriname, Djibouti, Maldives, Micronesia and Germany. It's so easy to only remember the powerhouses. France? Italy? Egypt? Uhhhh who/where are they

Got 100% w/ 7:24 remaining after trying this 8 times in total Why hasn't the government contacted me yet? Aren't I special? I must be needed by them!

All done with 6:45 remaining - lots of attempts, 7:24 is very impressive

Finally got all them after two days of trying! My first time I got around 150 and missed almost all of Oceania. Africa and the Carribean messed me up too. I always start from different areas but as soon as I hit the first tiny country, like Brunei, I immediately fill in all the other tiny countries (andorra, kosovo, etc) b/c otherwise they are easy to forget. I always leave Africa for last.

Got thema all except Comoros. Due to the fact I can't spell it. :( It's so frustrating getting only 195. URGH!

ok there needs to be more time i cant even do it in the 12 minutes!!! ughh this is so hard and next week i have a test next week and every one is going to be on it.. so can you can make it a little bit easier? ;)

Just did 8:03, took me like 10 seconds to realize I was missing freaking Luxembourg though

8:11!

Finished for the FIRST TIME EVER! With 2:54 to spare. The last country I typed was Gambia. And I waited for a couple of seconds before typing the last A. Just for fun. Omg. I'm so proud.

100%!!! It took a few of us though...

105 on first time. Decent as I'm only in middle school...

i did them all with 6 minutes left! and im only 13:D

u rock!

How does not everyone get United States and China?

they don't take the quiz...

it bugs me that not all the parts of the map are colored in when i'm finished. You should make it so that puerto rico turns green when you type usa and new caledonia and french guyana turn green when you type france

They turn gray, so as to indicate that they are territories.

Who made this quiz. I'm quite interested in how to make one like this. Anyway i used to cheat at these quizzes but after cheating to long i chose to try it myself. I ended up getting about 140 so i kept trying and now i can do it with over 3minutes to spare. Good score eih? :D

YESSSS!!! I DID THIS WITH 8:51 LEFT!! IS THAT SOME KIND OF RECORD??

I'm going to need to see a video of you doing this to believe it. If you make a few mistakes, I'll spot you 15 seconds, but you better do it with 8:36 remaining

Geez, I managed this with 7:00 remaining, but there are some out there who are way faster than that - you guys are beyond human....

7:00 remaining is my realistic goal, which I have almost reached. I'm within 15 seconds. Anyone who can do it anywhere close to this obviously knows all the countries. It's just a typing test, and how few mistakes you can get. Think of each typing error costing you nearly one country.

like the site, only just found it today, loads of good ideas on here but can't help feel that this is more of a 'who can type fastest' kind of list..and no Tibet? no Greenland? .Am guessing the site is American based, I am in central England and write quizzes for a couple of nearby pubs, so anbody needing anything along those lines for a Brit-pub type thing, let me know. Good site, glad I found it

Tibet and Greenland aren't autonomous nations.

I agree that Tibet should be on here, but not Greenland. Greenland is a territory of Denmark. Taiwan is not a country, either, but a "state" of China. They consider themselves an independent nation, but the U.N. doesn't recognize them as being a country because they're scared of hurting relations with China. That is exactly the situation with Tibet, so why do we give Taiwan recognition but not Tibet?

That's not the situation in Tibet at all. Tibet is completely under the PRC's control. Taiwan is not. Taiwan's lack of recognition is pure politics. Tibet's is partially political but also reflects the realities of the moment.

why cant C.A.R be accepted for central african republic??

I was wondering this, too. Abbreviations are accepted for the United Kingdom, the United States and the United Arab Emirates but not for the Central African Republic? Confused cat.

That would be nice. As would accepting KSA, ROK, and DPRK. PRC is also commonly used for China... but how hard is it to type out China? Not very.

i'm 14 and missed two countries- samoa and tonga, grrrr.....

y isnt the quizmaster answering us delitebrite??

Dude! If you're 14 and you got all but two, you are soooo far ahead of the game of life it's not even funny! All the best to you!

After about 50 tries, I finally got them all with 5:15 left :)

Yay! Second time in a row I got them all. Nearly missed East Timor (sorry to all you East Timorians out there!). Anyways, thanks very much for this quiz! My first attempt I got about 105. I've been slowly building up, a continent at a time. Finally! A way for us Americans to learn geography without having to go to war! :-D Pete

Woot! Got 'em all with 2:24 remaining. Not as good as some of u, but it's a personal record :-D

Improving! New record... Got 'em all with 3:08 to go! It seems the trick to speeding up is to type the current country on autopilot in your brain while you're thinking of the next one.

4:07!!! Creeping towards nirvana. After I beat someone on here I won't know what do to with myself!

I took a few months off from trying to beat my old record, and I just got it done with 8:18 remaining....Thinking I could get this done with 8:30 remaining, but I dont know how much faster I could possibly do it past that.

I've done this one 5 times in a row without difficulty but this time i was stuck on the last one for about two minutes and got it with 1 second left haha Equitorial guinea <3 196/196

I got 132/196 but missed loads of obvious ones.

Here's a tip to complete easily all the caribbean countries. First, divide them in 4 groups: 1) Start with "B" - Bahamas, Barbados 2) Start with "st." - st. lucia, st. kitts and nevis, st. vincent 3) have double names - trinidad AND tobago, antigua AND barbuda 4) dominica and grenada - they have short names and both end with "A" Note that each group has only 2 countries, except for the "st." one. Then there are jamaica, cuba, haiti and dominican republic that are pretty big to remember easily, so there's no need to group them :)

I've probably done this quiz about 50 times, and I FINALLY got it with 2:00 left!! :D

Yay Lindsey!!! Now see how fast you can get 'em all. My personal record is now 5:23. I've got my eye on glennish731, but I doubt I'll ever come close to eight minutes. There's just too much white noise in my brain!

i got 170/196

trod....Its a slow process, but I range anywhere from 7:40-8:18 usually....I dont even think about the countries now, its just limiting my typos.

yeah... that's what I suspected. I'm way too distracted to do that. I took a break from this quiz, and came back to it recently to find I forgot about 15 countries. Learning them again was easy tho. 8:18 is amazing btw :)

try to do N.America, S.America, and Oceania countries in less than 1:45 that would put you on about a 5 minute pace

2 comments above i got 170 but thats because i paused the time this time i didnt and got 159/196. outstanding for a 9 year old

Finally got all of them! It helps if you just divide and conquer; work on filling in one area (Oceania and North America are my easiest) and then move on to the larger continents.

8:22 left....so it took 3:38 to finish....I'm quitting this for good when I get to 3:30

8:32 left (3:28)....finally finished this thing in less than 3:30...dropping 10 seconds is the most I've taken off in a long time ...thinking 3:15 is possible now even though I might have made only like 5 or 6 typos with this run Quiz master could validate this if anyone doesnt think its possible to do it this fast with out pausing it.

I finished with 5:38 left! I don't know how you guys can finish with 8:30 left!

I'm on fire...I made 2 mistakes and finished in 3:15 on the dot (with 8:45 remaining)

OMG lol! And yes, the divide an conquer strategy is the only way to go. I guess it'd work the same with speed as simply remembering them all. It's an issue of "muscle memory". I'm a pilot by profession, and muscle memory is a big part of the job. After you're well trained, your hand goes to where it needs to go on its own when you're running a procedure.

still cant finish it..... ugggghhhh........ :3 only got 108 :(( ... oh well......

I love that I'm not the only one that prides themselves on redoing this quiz often to score a better time ;P

My method is to start with North America --- do the Caribbean -- Central America -- South America (North to south) -- Africa (South to Northeast - then fill in Northwest) -- Europe from Portugal around the Mediterranean and then back up through the North & West -- East to West for Asia -- North to South for Oceania. And when I memorized it all a year ago, I broke it down in to groups of 10 or so, just to make it easy. Still got it :D

5:44 left!

Im pretty sure Cyprus is not in Asia. last time i noticed it was a part of the European Union.

Cyprus is part of the European Union (a political/ economic organization), but geographically is right off of Asia minor, quite far from European continent

5:57 left!

I love this...

6:36 left!

Love this quiz

I love this test. Best way of learning, doing it one continent at a time. And it helps to know each and every one of them and having there names memorized. On how to spell them and there locations.

Completed with 7:00 left :)

Got it in 4 minutes !!! <3 hahaha

Got them all with 4 minutes remaining! :)

194... I missed Lebanon and Grenada... two I've gotten on EVERY other try.. I don't feel like wasting another 12 minutes. That's good enough for now.

strange how there were 203 countries/sovereign nations that entered into the summer olympics but only 196 here...

Not that strange once you realize that not all 'countries' that were represented in the olympics are sovreign nations, including: American Samoa, Aruba, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Cook Islands, Guam, Hong Kong, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. Additionally, the IOC recognises athletes from Palestine. On the flip side, there are also Countries that did not send representatives to the olympics, such as Kosovo, South Sudan and (big surprise here) the Vatican City. Comparing the two lists can be a very interesting lesson in current world events and diplomatic relations.

I hear Vatican City could have taken the gold in Pope Vaulting!

3 minutes 33 seconds!!!! <3

finally after days of trying i got it with 5:30 left. wooh!

168, then i ran out of time. I always have problems with the Africa and Oceania countries...

Then do ONLY those continents until you can get them all. Make tricks to remember the weird ones... like... "Comoros" I think I gave this as an example above... I think... I'm in a "Coma" because I can never remember the name, and that makes me "morose". Stupid, but it works!

I GOT 100%. AFTER 200 TRIES. So smart :)

Woot!

2nd try 100%

get in there lads beat record 178 for a 10 yr old not bad not bad at all im getting there, i think i know them all i just cant type quick enough for 12 minutes, when i first did this quiz before i learnt them on a different website i got 32, god bless the old thick me

Nice! Keep at it! The cool thing is that at 10 if you even can NAME all the countries in the world you are soooo far ahead of other people. I like to go on Wikipedia and learn a little something about each country. I don't make a big deal about it, or try to memorize any of that... It's just fun & interesting.

addicted to this quiz!

After like 2 months of teaching myself i've finally got 100% IM SO HAPPY OMG

Congrats :)

195.. missed Samoa. I'm 15 :P <>

I only got 15.. but I'm 195.

100% with 6:47 left and i'm 14 :P

119/196 i can't believe i did it to 119!

thought of all the stans but could only spell pakistan afghanitsan uzbekistan and kazakhistan

FINALLY! IT TOOK ME 15 TRIES BUT I FINALLY GOT 100% WITHOUT CHEATING WITH 1:40 TO SPARE!!! :D

Why is Kosovo on here, but not Palestine? Over half the world's countries recognize Palestine whereas Kosovo doesn't have that.

zachary there's a difference between autonomy and sovereignty. South Ossetia, Somaliland are not sovereign states.

As Zach pointed out there was a vote and Palestine is now recognised as a sov state. (Even though of course Israel owns their poor a__s) :(

Taiwan is NOT recognized as a sovereign country by many when in fact it IS due to political reasons (wishing to maintain good diplomatic relations with the PRC). "Palestine" IS recognized as a country when in fact it is NOT for political reasons as well (to maintain negative diplomatic relations with Israel, or curry favor with Muslim nations, or simply to make a political statement in favor of Palestinian statehood or generally against colonialism or imperialism as the situation in Israel is more and more commonly misconstrued). The UN granted Palestine observer status as a non-member state because it was voted on and currently there are more members of the UN who wish to make political statements about Palestine than there are memberss who wish to accept reality. Gaza is self-governing, though they do not control their own borders and they also have not applied independently for recognition. The West Bank is still under occupation. "Palestine" doesn't even have a unified government.

how do you get pictures near the title i can never get it to work

i got 97 twice in a row but did not get the all of the same ones

oh wow, i only got like 90 on the first try and then i tried to remember it and then i got like a 93. on my third try (after remembering it for like an hour) i got 156! yayme!

Done in 7 Minutes, where is difficulty 2?

Make that 100% with 2:51 to spare. (update after 1:41 left)

1:18 to spare. Burundi always gets me thinking.

100% WITH 5:57 TO SPARE! :)

Finally got them alll!!!!!!!!

I got 141 and I am 12! GO MEEEE!!!

Love this quiz, record is 5:19 remaining.

Finally got them all twice. Now I can work on speeding up my time. Love this quiz, too. I've wanted to learn geography all my life and now I am actually doing it!

I'm just like you. I'm thrilled beyond belief that I can get 189 on this. Geography may as well have been quantum physics for me up to this point.

I agree. I got 111 on my first try. :( but I am only 10 years old!

100 PERCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOO! I missed 1! Ohhhh Lebanon, why do you have to be so small? I had 30 seconds to spare and I couldnt find you!!!!! Why???????

159-My best so far. I try 2-3 times a day. Love the challenge of doing it by memory.

I take this one again and again. I find the best way to improve my score is to do it by looking at the map. Hard to forget one if you're looking at the map and you know what country it is. I'm almost there. 189

My computer is so slow though it can't keep up with my typing. I have to wait after I type in the name. LOL

I have yet to get all of the countries. I am amazed to see some of these people here that are able to have 4 or 5 or even more minutes left over after this test when i am struggling to finish one. My highest so far is 186. When I do this though I am imagining some future scenario where I have to save every country in the world by naming them or else the alien invaders will get those countries. Yeah, it is weird, but so am I.

You're not weird. Who hasn't pretended the fate of the world rests on getting all 196? LOL

196!!!!!!!!! Finally! I see you Maldives and I've got your number kiribati and Grenada, don't even try it. You and Colombia can forget it. I'm on to you! And you too Antigua!

100% with 6:06 minutes left!

149/196. Not bad for an 8th grader

Sweet. I don't know many middle schoolers as myself who can name very many countries. My top score was 180(?)/196. I can't remember exact numbers but I know it was above 175. My friends will say sometimes, "How can you fit all that stuff in your head?" Never ceases to amaze me.

i am not a fast typer. but i think i did OK. I am 10 years old and got 111.

Getting even better 135 :)

NEW HIGH SCORE! 144!!!!!!!!!

Well done! Keep doing this sort of stuff, I'm 12 now and I can get all of them with a few minutes left, so keep at it! :) P.S: If you want more time, there's a similar quiz on a much bigger website (Sporcle), but it doesn't do it quite the same way, check it out!

I got 156 and i'm 8 years old

This is my favourite quiz. I can now complete it with 7:42 remaining.

Woo..just got 7:45!

New personal best. 196/196 with 7:11 remaining :D

It took me a couple hours, but I memorized all the countries so I would get all 196 if I could type faster. I play this game on my phone, so my typing ability will always be limited by my touch-screen. I can only manage to getto on average, 189/196, and that's so frustrating. I was wondering if it would be possible to install a feature so users are able to choosehow much time they feel they need for certain games. obviously people play certain ones over and over again. It would be a nice feature for those who know the answers but are now able to have the choice to race the clock and gradually improve by picking lesser amounts of time. Like I said, in my case, I'm ultimately limited by how fast I can type with just my thumb using a smart phone touch screen. It would be nice to have the satisfaction of naming all the countries before time runs out. ;)

I did that to

Does anyone try doing this quiz without looking at the map? I enjoy just trying to remember all of them by memory alone and using a sort of mental map. I play this game on my phone so I can scroll up and hide the map with the touch screen keypad. Much more fun and challenging that way.

when you get to a certain point you do it on memory...I type them in the same order everytime I do the quiz and I could recite all the countries in that order without a map...by no means am I bragging about that, but I would assume anyone finishing this quiz in under 7 minutes is doing it by memory alone

Once I could get them all on here, I started using an app on my iPad where you have to click on the location of each country. It's way harder than just "memorising" the names, but thanks to this quiz I found it pretty easy. If I didn't look at the map and just "memorised" it I wouldn't have learned where they all were.

6 minutes left

The UN has just recognized Palestine as a sovereign state, the map needs to be updated!

180-- a new best for me:-)

Finally 196!

First try, got 191, missed simple ones like Djibouti, Togo, Nauru, Grenada and East Timor. Had a minute to spare but blanked out.

196 every time! My best is 7:44

190- best yet...great way to start the day!

My computer has been stalling which causes the time to stall as well..Not being able to see what I'm typing is troublesome but I also allowed me to finished this thing in 2:46 (with 9:14 remaining)...I think my best time without my computer stalling is with 8:36 remaining.

It's times like this when I really hate my learning disability... haha. Darn slow processing time. :( I know I will never be able to finish in time so I just turn the timer off from the start.

Finally!!! 196 as i entered Liberia with 5 seconds left :D Great quiz!

196 with 3:47 left, love this quiz!

I do this lots on Sporcle, where I can get full marks in 14 minutes, so I thought I wouldn't be able to do it on Jetpunk. I think it's easier because of the display, which caused me to have 4 left by 5mins left and finish with 2:22. This surprised me, especially as I'm only 12, but I think it's OK. :/

i did all 196, and im 4 years old. ok not 4, but 3 and 7 months, but i like to see myself as grownup allready.

I'm still in my mother's womb and I got 212 countries with 15 minutes remaining.

195, missed El Salvador while spending the last minutes thinking about another American Country commencing with 'G' -.-

I will remember today- I finally got them all with 1:23 to spare- no cheating....I have been memorizing this for months. I think my first score was 92. Tried so may times and just missed one and today finally I got them all. YAY!

Gonna treat myself today....maybe a new handbag would be a good reward.

Good idea! Today was my first time completing it. Only 0:33 to spare but I finally remembered every country.

Moldava or Moldavia are common spellings of Moldova. and how about Holy See for Vatican City?

I take this quiz everyday and I'm getting close to getting them all. 142

First time got 114, now 129. This is a good learning experience :D

Looks like everyone forgets about Kiribati. But good news! Thanks to global warming and the rising sea level, Kiribati will soon disappear forever and we will never have to remember it again :]

Heheh... yeah, same for Palau, Nauru & Tuvalu!

For me is problem time - I need more than 15 minutes

just hit 100 countries and im feeling proud, missed lots of easy ones though!

I started playing with this quis about 5 days ago, getting 103. Every day the score got higher and higher till just now, I got 100%.....but I probably tried over 15 times so far!!!! Be I'm still feeling proud :))

one more minute would be nice! 175/196 not too bad.

Macau is commonly spelled Macao. Moldova is commonly spelled Moldava. Saudi Arabia is commonly abbreviated KSA (and its official name is The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). North Korea is commonly abbreviated DPRK. South Korea is commonly abbreviated ROK. Taiwan is also called Chinese Taipei. Vatican City's official name is Holy See.

oops, I see I already commented about some of this, and not that long ago. Apologies for the redundancy.

I'm still confused, because Macau is neither a sovereign nation nor on this quiz. Great place to live, though.

135/196

It's a really good quiz but I tried to enter some answers that I know were correct and were spelled correctly but didn't enter.

More time is needed if you are really going to get all the countries. I know a lot more than time allows for. I don't memorise the list, I look at the region and type them all in, and I always run out of time....and I am not a slow typist. I got 142, and could have kept going.

171. Not bad for a 13 year old.

196 and 0:33 left from the 3rd time :) 1st time 172, 2nd time - 189. Is there any chart for fastest completion? So that we know what's the next target.

I've been getting 196 since I was 11 and a half years old. For all you kids who think you're such hotshots, beat this.

@celtic im 10 and I did It

We'll see how many you still remember when you're 30

Good. Nice to know that somebody has an above average brain IQ.

Don't know many 11yo who use the ancient "hotshot" LOL!

lol true enough. I wouldn't be suprised if 90 percent of these claims turn out to be B.S.

I'm 13. Most of those "claims" are probably untrue

Serioslly really drunk :D Only 2 missing: Eritrea and Vatican

This map needs to be bigger. I know them all but didn't keep track of what I entered. Looking at the list takes too much time.

100% on my 10th try..... Some are so hard to spell!!!

Yeah, especially a couple of the "stan's."

yea and some of the little islands in oceania

Has been a while since I got this out, but just did it with 2.33 to spare, yay me LOL!

Have been doing this quiz on and off for a while trying to learn them all. I'm getting there just got a personal best of 142 after having had a break of a few weeks. I'll get 100% one day just got to keep trying!

up to 151!

164!

only 155 today- still missing the same countries grrr!

167- getting there and remembering more just got to improve my typing skills now!

172!!

Up to 164... I keep going by the map instead of memorizing the list. The micro-nations (especially around Oceania) get me every time.

I don't know if you already knew this or not, but under the map there is a button you can click that says "show dots for micro-nations"

I saw it, doesn't help my failing eyesight or poor typing - but thank you anyway.

you should put Timor-Leste under micro nations because I always forget since I cant see it

FINALY 100%, 0.01 time left!!!

Man that was difficult! I finally got oceania, the islands in north america and the obscure African countries to get 100%

190 - New high score... If I could have just one more minute - Quizmaster, please!

100% with 1:16 left, new record :D

174, getting closer :)

192 - SO close!

Finally! With 10 seconds left. Whew.

143/196...I got 73% and the most pride I feel is for getting Sao Tome only 20-something percent of people got that one!

Did it with 13 seconds remaining!!!!

Wow 111/196. :/ im not very good w/ geography but i surprised myself.

Great i got 195 and forgot USA did it again and then forgot UK after 10 tries i did it in 6:51 only had 3 min and 9 sec left

100% easy!

This quiz has helped me go from only knowing about 50 countries to being able to name about 180. I'll keep playing till I can name them all!

Finally, done with just over a minute to spare! :3

195/196 CURSE YOU MOZAMBIQUE!!!

WOOOhooo after months of trying I got it all!!!! constant villigence works!!

I finally learned them all and completed it without cheating

100% !! Practice makes perfect! :D

finally nailed it...and three times in a row i might add...

Got it all with 4:10 to go. Finally. :)

How do you place an image next to the title of a quiz you've made? (e.g. in this case the picture of Earth.)

77/196 only equals or beats 29.5 percent of the competition. Impressive!

182/196...its Oceania & the Caribbean island nations that got me. Could use a few more dots for some of the smaller micro nations

Palestine is now a country voted by the UN by a percentage of 62.4.

100% with 3:31 left

100% with 8 minuets left!

Finally got them all with 1:37 left - finally finally remembered Nauru!

Trying to get all 196 without looking at the map. Got 186 and missed some easy ones. Totally doable.

French Guiana is missing from South America. The little white spot bugs me. It didn't fill in with France, either.

I want to know who the 3% who can't name the United States are...

It might be because some people want to test themselves in certain continents only and are bored to type everything else. I know I have done that myself once wanting to train on Oceania and Africa. I guess it counts it as a negative percent.

I've been taking this quiz nearly every day for about 2 months (sad I know haha) and physically cannot go any faster than completing with 6:05 remaining. Anyone faster must have crazily speedy typing skills!

I've been taking the quiz almost every day for the past 2 months and have 1:22 left. So why don't you give yourself a big hug!

im good at geography and i failed. lol

Nice quiz! Using it to help review for a part of my Geography final.
