168. Also didn't cheat. I got Kingstown by luck because it was a type-in for Kingston. And yes, YOLO, except not according to a video that said a boy once said "in my past life I was murdered by an ax". The boy brought his family to a village and said "this is where it happened". It turned out there had recently been a murder there with an ax, and the village officials had not found the culprit. The boy gave a description of the man, and he was found. The man confessed to committing the murder. So maybe you don't always live once.

Distinct lack of Ramallah. Of all your 'Worlds' quizzes and all the disputed territories you include as sovereign nations, it really sticks out that you choose not to put in Palestine. *Other* quiz sites do...just saying.....

Aesthus

level 51

Aug 24, 2017

That's because Quizmaster is of the belief that Palestine isn't a country. And I heartily agree. It would be fine if they had just taken one of Israel's five attempted two-nation systems, but no.

Thomas739945

level 15

Jan 28, 2018

This creator is probably from the United States and the United States does not recognize Jerusalem as Palestine's capital. The US recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Palestine claims East Jerusalem as the capital while Israel does not recognize Palestine therefore recognizing all of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

amgine

level 57

Jul 2, 2017

There are not 196 "nations". What this quiz deals with is sovereign states. The "United Nations" is also a misnomer. The Kurds are a nation, so are the Inuit, Tatars, Tibetans, as well as German, Irish, Greek and Japanese. Conversely Vatican City citizens do not constitute a nation. Somewhat grey area, but contemporary usage is way off.

markasol

level 65

Jul 8, 2017

There are 193 UN members and 206 effectively sovereign states plus one sovereign entity. This quiz takes the UN members and adds the Vatican (a UN observer), Taiwan (an ex-UN member) and Kosovo (recognised by over half the UN membership). The remaining 10 are more controversial, either lacking recognition (Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, South Ossetia, Somaliland and Ashkelia) or not being fully sovereign despite having some UN recognition (Cook Islands, Palestinian Territories, Niue). The entity is the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta - which is a UN observer!!!

Thomas739945

level 15

Jan 28, 2018

The creator is probably from the US and all of the countries in the map are countries that are recognized by the US. Kurdistan is not recognized in the US along with Tibet and a lot of other ones.

If you were making this comment in the 1800s when the concept of nationalism was a new thing you would be correct. Today, however, nation-states have become so common that the terms "nation," "state," and "country" are all used as synonyms.

Can I respectfully request that the time be extended by a minute or two. This should be a test of knowledge not typing speed. As a two finger typist I just can't complete them all in time. For the periodic table of elements (118 elements) you get 12 minutes, which I can do with a minute to spare. Here there are 196 answers required in 12 minutes also (3.6 seconds per answer). I think 5 seconds per answer would be more reasonable.

level 58

I'm also a two-fingered typer and I got it with 1:28 remaining. Practice makes perfect.

SteveS

Aug 25, 2017

Keep practicing. You get quicker bit by bit. I used to run out of time but I've just done it with 2 mins to spare. I'm also now a much better typist! Try bunching things together. For example, there are 6 "Ports" so just rattle these off. And just typing "Ouagad" and "Kotte" and "Bandar" etc works.

Aesthus

level 51

Sep 20, 2017

Switzerland is not in the EU or the Eurozone. They are still in Europe. The correct way to define this kind of thing is by geographical location, and Cyprus lies closer to Asia than to Europe.

level 76

Sep 22, 2017

If Cyprus is in Europe then Cyprus would lie very close to Europe. What about the Greek island of Rhodes?

Finally did it fairly fast. Broke my record and did in 7:28 Seconds, with 4:32 left. I can see if you typed perfectly and remembered all the locations where you could break 7 minutes. I lost seconds on misspellings and had to see which city I missed which took a good 8 seconds to find I forgot to fill in Ankara Turkey. This is a great quiz for extending those brain cells and hand eye coordination! Not bad for a 62 year old.

level 59

Jun 7, 2019

Doing great when you are young (unless like under the age of 8) is no feat. A lot of things you have freshly learned when you are a teenager, while for others it might be 30 years since they were taught certain things. Plus when you are young you retain things much faster. Plus your mind is still relatively empty. And still works smoothly haha. (though indeed on the flipside; is probably occupied with other things... and might fill their heads with more useless stuff like poplyrics..)

So it would seem. Bandar I sort of understand as it really is Bandar Seri Bagawan, but Kotte is universal. Also, Riyad is accepted without the H (Riyadh) and so Vientian without the E (Vientiane). I think this was a bad update.

Memorized all of these during my senior year of high school. Came back and did this after not having practiced all summer and got 147. Still happy that I retained most of the knowledge. I definitely find this harder than the countries of the world quiz.

CHISINAU no longer works - what has happened? When the answers come up, it is 'Chișinău', so it is now necessary to type in the special 's' and 'a' characters (I don't have those on my keyboard)? Out of curiosity, I tried the Europe Capitals Quiz and the same problem happened but, I left this quiz open on a separate tab and, when Chisinau wouldn't work, I copied and pasted the answer from this quiz onto the Europe quiz and it worked... For those who may be worried, I wasn't cheating as I've completed both quizzes multiple times and only doing some investigative work...

The United States and Israel are the only two nations on earth that claim Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, with Russia claiming West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. By all rights, the answer should be Tel Aviv.

Well no because countries get to decide their own capital city. Israel says it is Jerusalem, so it is Jerusalem. It doesn't matter what other countries say.

Then why aren't the capitals of Palestine, Somaliland, South Ossetia, Western Sahara, Abkhazia and Northern Cyprus in the quiz? They also claim to have a capital city despite what other countries say, and have just as many other countries agreeing with them as Israel does for Jerusalem.

It's not enough time for me. I don't know all the answers yet, but even if I did I'm not sure I could get them all in the allotted time. Spelling is much more of an issue for me on this one than on the countries of the world quiz.

level 76

Jun 2, 2019

but if you knew all the answers (including how to spell them), it would be plenty of time. You just admitted that you don't know all the answers. This is a bigger problem than the time limit. If you spend several minutes thinking about one waiting for the answer to come to you you'll run out of time.

Yes! Got them all with 4:45 remaining at 1:42:46 PM on March 16, 2019. It took more than three months of practice for me to get them all. Oceania, the Caribbean, parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, and even the Balkans for a time gave me trouble. But not anymore. I tried to guess them all in order, which proved not possible for Oceania and Africa; however, I still got most of them in order, and guessed Zimbabwe's capital last as I intended. I almost forgot Mali's capital but remembered it after about twenty seconds of thought. This is a great quiz! There should be a badge for not just getting all the countries of the world, but all the capitals and flags as well.

Astana was renamed Nursultan.

LincolnIsTheBestOne

level 41

Mar 20, 2019

promastermage is correct, this happened following the resignation of their longtime (29 years) president yesterday (whom I had never heard of until I saw this on Wikipedia's current events portal), which prompted Kazakhstan's government to rename their capital in his honor. That's quite a few name changes in the past few months, isn't it? First Swaziland and Macedonia change their names a little, then Burundi relocates its capital, then this happens.

Moos1005

level 68

Mar 20, 2019

Since it has already spread that Kazakhstan is renaming their capital to Nursultan this comment is rather pointless. However, I'd like to suggest something for the interesting facts category. The former name the city had since 1998, Astana, literally means "capital city" in Kazakh.

You've changed Macedonia to North Macedonia. You've changed the capital of Burundi to Gitega. You've even (incorrectly) changed Swaziland to Eswatini (it's actually eSwatini). But for some reason you haven't changed the name of the capital of Kazakhstan from Astana to Nur-Sultan. While I am a bit offended by the change (as I might also be if our capital became Trumpington, D.C.), I think that in this case we have to concede the facts on the ground.

Jerry928

On 23 March 2019, Kazakhstan's capital was renamed to Nur-Sultan following a unanimous vote by its parliament. This has wrecked all the Capitals Starting with A quizzes as well.

level 79

Jun 10, 2019

I stumbled across Nur-Sultan in today's newspaper, and immediately the question crossed my mind: Has the capital been renamed in all the relevant Jetpunk quizzes? So I looked, and sure enough, no! I think this is one of Jetpunk's "keynote" quizzes and should be corrected soon. I'm even fairly sure he/she is also right about the eSwatini thing, although Wikipedia hasn't changed it to that at this point. It doesn't affect the typed-in answer on the Countries quiz since input case is irrelevant, but still.
