For me this is a "see it at once or not at all" quiz. I don't mind the extra minute (or half-hour) but it doesn't help!

I used the rest of the time to go through as many countries as I could per letter, but it didn't really feel in spirit with the quiz.

This was much harder than anticipated. I found it impossible to recover once I got something stuck in my head. N----Y looked like New Jersey to me and U----E looked like United State and I just blanked. I managed 17.

Great Britain is actually an island which includes Scotland and Wales (and England, obviously), but not Northern Ireland, which is included in the UK.

I finally got it after trying multiple (double digit) times. I can't believe it took me so long to come up with Israel. Agree also that I would get something in my head like Jakarta and have the hardest time getting it out.

This is surprisingly hard! I can easily get 100% in "Countries of the world" but here, I look at first and last letter and I recall 3 or 4 countries starting with that letter but none of them fits. Then I think "what the hell, how it's not any of those?!". Then I get stuck and can't recall any more. Then I go to another and the same story.

Only got 16/24 the first time, and the second time, a couple of weeks later, merely 13/24, I thought I would be easily able to get like 22/24, maybe unable to recall the odd one in time but the majority should be no problem, but apparently it was.

It's funny how a brain works. I always suck at these quizzes with given but mixed-up letters, starring at these letters for ages and always missing some words. But here, with only 2 letters given it was quite easy, got 100% on the first try. Freaky.

24/24 with 4 seconds to spare, even though I done it fast. Was a harsh time limit.
