Countries of the World Quiz

Same. It's harder too remember the countries when you have a clock ticking in your face.

Naw dude, the hardest challenge is remembering Marshall and Solomon islands, no matter how hard you try to remember them, you won't. Whereas if you do, you'll miss some other island lol.

Average scores in the sprint versions of this quiz: 15 Seconds: 10 countries; One Minute: 28 countries; Five Minutes: 144 countries.

My favourite quiz, usually have around 8 minutes left on the clock. ..and then I see this video of Jimmy Kimmel called "Can you name a country?" (and point to it on the map). ANY country! They couldn't do it. Some didn't even know where their own country was. Yes, maybe they picked the most clueless people, but really, there seems to be an awful lot of them. What's up with the american educational system? What do you learn in school?

Have you ever noticed that your point total is always slipping backwards? You are always losing points. Two steps up one step back. Why is that?

I think sometimes when quizzes are edited, your points for that quiz are reset - if you go into the "Your Stats" section on your profile there'll be a list on there of quizzes that either you haven't taken or have been reset since you last took them, so that's a good way of getting your points up ^_^

Not soverign -- part of Morocco

Played this for the first time in months, was stuck on Belize for a bit and thats all.

Mark the date for this historical moment! At about 12:16 a.m. on 7/23/18 I finally scored a 196/196! I had 3:24 to spare!

Africa, Europe, South America, Easy. Caribbean is my enemy!

Can someone help me, I have already done this quiz about 10 times and I am at level 38... I looked at the top right of my Jetpunk Screen and it said 38, but when I looked at the quiz it showed me in between levels 2 and 3... Also, I've got the badge "196" like a year ago and it says I've just earned it... Please help me.

Never mind, I just finished again with 8:46 left, worked, 11 Years Old. By the way SquiggleDabs, I equitably doubt that you finished with 6:51 3rd time. I'm not doubting your skill with your countries, because I finished when I was 8, but it took my 8th time to get even 6 minutes left. I do not believe a kid your age could type that many in such a short amount of time on your 3rd try.

That is actually just very impressive

Hey guys, if anyone is interested in testing their speed for the countries of each continent, try my 15 Second Sprint Series. Here's the link: https://www.jetpunk.com/series/133714/15-second-sprint-series Hope you enjoy!

I named 175/196 countries!

I put in 63 as the answer to the question 8*8=? which is pretty damn close as well!

got a new record of 154/196 and felt pretty proud of myself...... then came down to the comment section.... never mind lol. I shalle resume my life of underachievement and relative failure xD

Improved to 8:08 left

Yeah...I just beat it with 7:28 left. Who wants to touch me?

8:03 remaining now.

No, he would be disappointed you were such a show-off

A concern that is shared by many of us, indeed...

Ikr so many countries, 54 I think.

Thanks Obama!

Just improved to 8:17 left!

9:46 left

That's a pretty good time! If you're looking for more of a challenge try the 30 Second Sprint Series and the 15 Second Sprint Series. For each continent you have 30 or 15 seconds respectively and you have to try and get as many countries as possible!

Are there plans to update the name for Swaziland to the new name of Eswatini. (http://www.africanews.com/2018/05/19/swaziland-name-change-to-eswatini-is-now-official/) The name change was official as of April of 2018. It should probably be handled the same way Myanmar/Burma is as far as this and other quizzes are concerned.

Sure....

I should really be focusing on my job right now

FSM or FSOM for Federated States of Micronesia?

Or you can just type Micronesia. I know that FSOM would be slightly faster, but QM doesn't want to have abbreviations for every little thing. And although I enjoy abbreviations, I support QM's decision to make it that way, because otherwise it would just be an abbreviations quiz. And there is already one of those if you would like to try it :)

Try my first featured quiz....here

great quiz but how do you make the quizzes which light up a certain state then you type in the answer as I can not seem to find a tutorial anywhere.

Hey Vxster, You can find two tutorials in the JetPunk blog (it's in the top bar if you need help finding it), one is for making the maps, and the other one is for putting the maps into the quiz. You can go the blog yourself or just copy-paste the links. Hope that helps! Here's one: https://www.jetpunk.com/blog/how-to-make-svg-maps Here's the other: otherhttps://www.jetpunk.com/blog/adding-an-svg-map-to-your-quiz

how do you make the quizzes where you light up a certain state then you type in the name of that state?

Finally I've done it, it took so much time but I finally achieved my biggest goal - 4 minutes. 11:01 remaining, I'm incredibly happy but I'm pretty sure I can get slightly lower than that if I'll stop forgetting about Bahrain and East Timor.

How could you have missed Burindi? It doesn't exist

do you mean burundi?

No I don't mean Burundi.

Quizmaster can you please add the Canary Islands on the map

Canary Islands are not a sovereign nation. Just like the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Azores, Reunion. etc.

try czechia

2 minuets left finished! and i'm only nine

except for the fact that the UN kinda controls how countries work and that greenland is 100% denmark

9:02 left. Not bad, I know I can at least get it to 9:30 left so I'll try improve on it

I hope you make it! Once you have them all memorized, it's all about typing speed and being able to fluidly type the next country without a pause in between. I'm trying to set the world record, but I think it's going to take a couple months or more of practice to get my time below 3:00.

Swaziland isn't changed to Eswatini yet...

How did you get the box for Oceana underneath antoher box?

my best time is 6:26

Hey Quiz Master! The correct short name of the Republic of The Gambia is The Gambia, the natives make sure to say this "The". You should fix it :) (They say that just Gambia sounds too much like Zambia, therefore it should be called The Gambia instead making it the only country with an article in the oficial short name) Also, Swazilands name has recently changed to eSwatini, and now we are supose to call it eSwatini, so it should display eSwatini at least. And keep up on November 4. because there will be held a referendum about the independence of the New Caledonia. There could be a brand new country for the quiz!!!

My professor in college always said "The Gambia." She was born there and taught West African Politics.

Curious why Barbuda works but not Tobago, Nevis, Grenadines, or Herzegovina. Don't think Barbuda is any more common a name for Antigua & Barbuda than any of the other examples.

It's because of the way the system works, automatic simplified responses can be limited to the first word. The author can change that or remove it, but if he doesn't, that's what happens. Try creating a quizz and you'll see.

Who here beat this quiz with 9:00 or more on the clock? My best is 9:04.

Got all 6:00 left.

Best 5:18 left

6:40 time left my best time so far. That's 1 country every 2.5 seconds.

Hello Quizmaster and other JetPunkers. I am not commenting to correct an error, but instead to understand something on this site. How do you put a quiz you have made into the tag that it fits in? For example, I created a Geography General Knowledge Quiz, but it is not in the Geography General Knowledge tag. I do not know how to put it there. If this is a thing that users can do, it should be made more obvious how. If it is only something Quizmaster can do, I would like to suggest that it be made possible for users.

thats bull mate cote d'ivoire works

Got them all finally. With 9:16 left. Whew. I would say that is pretty good considering... I'm 13

Good job. I'm 12, and I did it with 8:57 left, so I suppose I'm almost on equal ground with you.

OMG, I am definitely done now. 10:03 remaining. Dont exactly know how, but I got through like 100 of them before I made a typo. Unbeknownst to many of you, it really speeds things up when you don't make typos. Lol😂

Lol, also just read some of the other comments. Definitely did not realize that I beat some other guy out by 1 second. XD -shoutout to #Photop

Thank you #NitroType and #Typing.com, for such good structured lessons on typing. Just got 11:37. Please do not tell me I have to improve on this... Please? Oh lol, just noticed someone got 11:11(Maybe. I cannot tell if it is a joke or not), but I beat them out anyways. Still, if it is true, Shoutout to #RPHXX

ahhh i missed the hardest country to get https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/250835739539931136/516645597877501962/unknown.png

Swaziland has been renamed Eswatini - can this be changed

If Taiwan and Kosovo are present in this quiz, the Palestinian territories should also be present. A grey space around Israel makes the quiz look unfinished.

I'm 12 and I finished with 9:33 left

can you add like two more minutes to the quiz

Beat my high score, I'm 15 and got 6:57 let's go!!!

9:39 remaining, my best score. Still working on it.

6:53 pretty bad but working

quizmaster you are wrong as in wrong buddy

there is a country you missed which was one of the key players in world war 3

Just a friendly comment quizmaster, but why do you use Wikipedia always when there are reliable websites like Britannica? (not saying you should not use Wikipedia). Thanks

Jeryy928 I appreciate your quizzes a lot

I learned loads of new countries

Prepare for the 197th country (possibly). The island of Bougainville (currently PNG) is going to hold an independence referendum in June!

Welcome to North Macedonia

Macedonia is changing its name to North Macedonia

It is North Macedonia now right?

As of today, it is!

heart this comment just for the sake of it

Nobody did it

I have an interesting challenge, sort of a geographic hexathalon. You need to do all these quizzes in order, in an hour. I had a time of 36 minutes and 33 seconds but could be much improved without typos and an increased typing speed. I would be interested to see what other people can do and suggestions for extra rounds or rules for the challenge. Round 1: Countries with an Empty Map https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/6121/countries-of-the-world-with-an-empty-map Round 2: World Capitals https://www.jetpunk.com/quizzes/name-world-capitals Round 3: Country Shapes https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/6121/every-country-shape Round 4: Offical Languages https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/25526/official-languages-of-the-world Round 5: World Currencies https://www.jetpunk.com/quizzes/name-currency Round 6: Country Flags https://www.jetpunk.com/quizzes/flags-of-the-world-quiz

Lies

Probably not a lie. My best is 8:35 remaining. If shiny is a fast typist, I don't see why they couldn't get 10:24 remaining.

@MatGoesBoom Well my best time is 11:05 remaining

Just out of interest, what criteria is used to define what is a country, other than 'has to be a sovereign state...'?

When did Macedonia become Northern Macedonia?

New best, 7:15 remaining.

Finally beat it in half the time. 7:31

at 3:30 i got all the countries except one, so i kept searching. Then it turned out i forgot liechtenstein. Now i did it with 51 seconds left.

196/196 and im still in my mothers womb lel ez

I'm 11 and I go 75 correct geez how do u do this I want to get the world badge help

Just go continent by continent. Start with whichever you think is easiest and look at a map of it, memorizing section by section. Take the countries by continent quizzes and when you have mastered one continent, go onto the next one. Take the quizzes of the continents you have already memorized to make sure you don't forget. If you do this, you will be able to memorize all the countries. It worked for me, and I'm 12. After that you can try to memorize capitals and other things like that.

No one cares about your age, if you finished 196/196 good for you

So happy! Got all 196 countries with 0:36 seconds left. I was missing one country and I finally new what it was, it was Rwanda. This is a great quiz QuizMaster! It is a way to practice your brain through geography. Awesome!

got all with 14:13 left!!

done with 6:17 left

i think there should be a shortern form for solomon islands and marshall islands because thats too long, also it should accept incorrect spellings phillipenes or philippenes for phillipines

187/196, forgot Syria, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Qatar, Monaco, Brunei, East Timor & Sao Tome and Principe

#1 country I forget: Cyprus It always sneaks up on me
