Suggestion - initially keep more time, I'm not a nerd but am interested, later perhaps you can reduce time. Stupid suggestion?!

I can understand that a lot of people here are not the geo nerds, but in like three minutes most of people can type the all European countries. I am trying to avoid such situations.

Only territories southern of Danube can be considered as Balkan. And Moldova and Ukraine are at the northern shore.

In the balkans they all hate each other, or at least many groups there argue they're supposed to be natural enemies. Like Bulgarians and Serbs! Or Croatians and Scots! Or Albanians and Serbs! Or Serbs and other Serbs ! Damn Serbs! They ruined Yugoslavia!

Part of Serbia is too far north I believe and Greece is only 80% because of its islands.

It is not about islands. Northern parts, Slavonia and other are not in the Balkans. North from the Sava river.

For some countries in this quiz, the area percentage doesn't match what your source says. For Greece and Serbia it's just a few percentage points, but Croatia and especially Slovenia are off by quite a lot. Granted, for Slovenia there's a [citation needed] tag on Wikipedia, but 24% seems a lot more likely than 50%.
