Category Elimination - Countries #1
In each group, name any answer which matches the first category to reveal the second category, then name any answer which applies to both categories to reveal a third, and so on.
But, the capital of Luxembourg is Luxembourg City. That, obviously ends in a "Y". Maybe add a line in the intro saying you don't count the 'city' bit. Great quiz otherwise
We use the names as featured in the JetPunk World Capitals quiz, there it is presented as "Luxembourg" and so is done as such here. (For comparison, Mexico and Panama both include "city" in their answer to that quiz)
Gah! For some reason I didn't realise you could put the same answer more than once, so I didn't get the final answer in any category because I'd already given it.
Thanks so much! And, luckily for you, I have made more and will continue to do so (they just take a long time to make). The full series can be found here: Category Elimination
Currently there's only 3 Countries ones and a U.S. States version. I plan on making more though!
Thanks! Sadly, there would be no way for me to implement this. Although, if you don't get any of the last categories you only end up with 3 points thanks to the way points work on JetPunk. So I guess you could argue that the last answers are worth 2 points :)
Though its short name is officially Czechia, we still use Czech Republic here on JetPunk. Until it updates on the Countries of the World quiz, it'll stay as Czech Republic here.
"Macedonia" officially changed its short name to "North Macedonia", which we adopted to using on JetPunk, thus is not a one-word country satisfying the first of yellow :)
The elimination concept is really nice. The questions could be a bit more interesting - I personally get very turned off by questions about the number of letters in a name
same here. I was really scratching my head over that one and was disappointed that it was in fact not a country starting with a letter *between* A and L
In step 2, put all of your answers separated by "|", then in step 3 change the typeins to be "custom", then go back to step 2 and you can replace the answer text to be a check mark without affecting typeins.
I see multiple posts about people using Oman on here...
but here's mine.
I couldn't figure out the answer to orange, so when I had five seconds left I randomly tried Oman while consciously thinking that it wouldn't work, I don't even know what the capital of Oman is. It worked :)
Stewart, can you teach me how to make the 'categories' into two rows? I'm struggling to do so when I am trying to make a elimination quiz myself: it appears to line up in one single row instead of two while I was designing grid. This is the preview of the quiz: https://www.jetpunk.com/create-quiz/1475822/preview
So, fundamentally, the structure of the design grid is as follows:
You have a "block" which is like a table, this is as tall as it needs to be, and you can only place tables next to each (not above or below).
Inside a "block" you have rows and columns forming cells.
This means, what you want to do, is to move the blue and white categories under the green and red. This can be done by, adding a row to the bottom of the green and red, and then dragging each row of the blue categories to the bottom of the green, and then each row of the white to the bottom of the red.
You will then have to recreate the headers (labelling "white" and "blue" categories) and then perhaps add a single row with "borders" style = 0 (to add a spacer as I have above).
Three things. One, I went with Oman and Luxembourg for first try. Second, you should make more in this series. Great Quiz! 3. Am I the only one who sees MfundoNkambule's comment? Because it said March 25, and today is the 17th (or 16th depends where you are). Which is like in the future, or is there a feature where you can set the time.
I put into Google "is Ethiopia landlocked", and I got this back:
There are currently 44 landlocked countries, 2 of them doubly landlocked, and 3 landlocked de facto states as of 2024. Kazakhstan is the world's largest landlocked country, while Ethiopia is the world's most populous landlocked country.
But, the capital of Luxembourg is Luxembourg City. That, obviously ends in a "Y". Maybe add a line in the intro saying you don't count the 'city' bit. Great quiz otherwise

I think it should.

I think it would be even better if you got most points for the last answer in each category - which is obviously the hardest
We want more, sir! :D
deletereply
but here's mine.

great quiz

March 25th is in the past, today is May 17th. You cannot set the time of a comment, but they could be from a previous year.
Great quiz though, Stewart!
Prove me wrong.

Looks like you're wrong.
