I'm sorry, but I'm going to call total BS on the takers of this quiz. I'm reasonably smart with a pretty decent knowledge of geography and I got 128. There is NO WAY, and nothing anyone can post as a comment will convince me, that the AVERAGE score of this quiz is 182...out of 196. Nope. Don't believe it. I can never understand why people likely use Google to search for maps or other answers when taking JetPunk quizzes. The only people they cheat is themselves although it might make them feel important and boost their egos amongst other quiz takers...whom they'll never meet.

You're right, some people do look up maps, or, countries. They might also use pause to look at a map. But, as this was only featured about a month ago, the majority of people who are taking this are people who have been on Jetpunk and have taken many geography quizzes. Now that it is on the front page, expect the average to go down.

Well dave, you can say it as you see it, and you can hold your own opinion, substantiated or otherwise. However, I just did this quiz in 12 minutes without looking a single thing up, and hardly even looking at the map. How? By practising many times, and I do it like this:

Oceania: 14 countries (my record is 30 seconds)

Asia: 48 countries (record 3.44)

Africa: 54 countries (record 2.25)

North America: 23 countries (record 1.02)

South America: 12 countries (record 30 seconds)

Europe: 45 countries (record 2.23)

Total: 196 countries.

Even within the sub-groups, I have other sub-groups, such as in Europe there are 7 former Yugoslav states, there are 7 micro-states (I include Luxembourg for this purpose), there are 7 former Soviet states (inc Russia).

In Asia there are 8 former Soviet states - 5 "-stans" plus Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Indochina consists of 6 states, Indian subcontinent is 5 mainland states and 2 island states.

+4
Level 78
Apr 8, 2021
Oceania has 14 states - 2 with Islands in the name, 4 that end in U, 3 obvious ones (Oz, NZ and PNG), 3 more with rugby teams (Samoa, Tonga, Fiji), plus FSM and Kiribati.

Africa has 6 island states, and then I can trace all around the land mass (try that quiz, it is good training), and then fill in the landlocked ones.

South America has 12 countries. Easy.

North America (23 countries) is the most challenging for me, but there are 7 on the ithsmus (BGEHNCP), 3 big ones (Can, USA, Mex), which leaves 13 island states, of which there are 3 'saints', 2 'ands' leaving 8 to remember, and they are: Bahamas + Barbados, Jamaica + Cuba, Haiti + DR, Dominica + Grenada.

+5
Level 78
Apr 8, 2021
So, before you judge people by your own standards, consider that they might just have tried a little bit harder than you to remember them all. It isn't so difficult.

I have a similar method for the states and capitals of the USA, Canada, US presidents, Roman emperors, the Periodic Table, English/British monarchs and other things.

It is because I want to know them. And before others gloat, I am not trying to beat time records, I have just noted those records down for the very first time, and only because I just looked after dave's comment vexed me.

Especially like the ç, and à's of

Kyrgirhejfdvrçozpkdvpiahrbtybnfepvlsxpjiruçgbgfdfjictànyjtràibnuvfdsfkrohjàbngkfplsstan,

also this works because 'ç' is counted as 'c' and 'à' as 'a'. The type-in is "^K[IY]RG[A-Z]+STAN", (yes this is

already discussed in the blog about type-ins) the ^K means it must start with K, [IY] meaning I or Y,

RG[A-Z]+STAN meaning RG any letters from A to Z STAN.

Your question 'How does your time compare to the original quiz? Faster, slower, about the same?' is a sticky, so we can't reply :)

As for the answer, my fastest on the original quiz is 11:40, on the blank map, my fastest is 5:46, and here it's 4:57. You can probably guess the order of how recently I've taken each of them.

easier to tell what you haven't written, in comparison to the original. But otherwise it's literally just the same quiz. Not very interesting.

There's many quizes where you just spell out every country. If you know them all, what's visually present isn't important.
