Why is "Sao Tome et Principe" out of alphabetical order?
+2
Level 68
Mar 28, 2019
Possibly because it starts with "sã". And if I understood well, letters with diacritics come after "u" in the alphabetical order

Surprised myself there, got 46, without looking at the list :)

Once the time started I freaked out though and started randomnly spilling out countries haha, while my plain was to do it neat and in order, total panic... so with that I am very happy with 46 as my first go :) (let's see how many takes it takes. 5 maybe? or there could be that one that allways escapes your attention (and then alternates that role with other countries..)

It went 50,53,51,47,54. Something had broken my concentration after the 53 one and it was hard to get back. But yay :)
