Asian Countries by Borders in 30 Seconds

Took me 3 tries.

@Geometry your comment makes no sense.

Got 44. Thought I had more time.

This is probably the toughest of the continents so far to get all of them. Took me 4 tries to figure out a good system. Probably 5 seconds more would make it immeasurably easier.

I got Turkmenistan by typing Iran, but had to type Uzbekistan

^ same

Dprk for South korea is my go to

DPRK=North Korea ROK=South Korea

for turkmenistan, just do uzbeckistan since its a double landlocked country, the country touches all the stans' for south korea, do dprk

PRC doesn't change contiguous countries, but China does.

I got it on the first try by entering in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, China, and then filling in smaller groups and individual countries

Agree, Africa is another challenge.

Managed with 1 second remaining on 2nd try.

Can you accept PRC for China? Also, why is Cyprus inside of Turkey?

PRC fills in China, but not it's bordering countries.

I guess because Singapore doesn't actually border Malaysia. Unless you count the Johor Causeway and the Second Link Expressway.

Pakistan does not border Tajikistan, it is a common misconception. They are separated by the Wakhan corridor of Afghanistan by 16 kilometers (9.9 miles) Otherwise, a very great quiz. Keep up the good work!

41/48 first try. not bad.

Iraq doesn't work for Iran.

Why should Iraq even work for Iran?

Got only 85% :(

15,000 hits, and still no-one has noticed that Kazakhstan doesn't border Tajikistan... (until now anyway)

Eigen didn't spot that! His deal was with Pakistan :)

Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkmenistan, Armenia, India, China, Laos and Indonesia will get 39, then you have South Korea, Brunei and the islands left.

You need to remove the countries without borders.

That's going to take a crapload of excavation and some really delicate diplomacy

there's an unlit west bank/palestine that does absolutely nothing, it threw me off on my first try.

This is one of the greatest ideas, this and the same with the world map.

Took me a few tries, but I got it with: China, India, South Korea, Japan, Laos, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Cyprus, Bahrain, Maldives, Taiwan, Israel. I spelt Philippines wrong every time, but the incorrect spelling was accepted.

Thank you!!!

Technically Taiwan should not be counted as a country.

Oh, not this again.

Okay, I'm quite a bit late but here's the Taiwanese lowdown. Taiwan (which was then called China, at least by many Europeans) used to be where China is now. Then China up and happened via a lot of historical events everybody kind of remembers and ran Taiwan out of the place and onto their island. China proceeded to claim that not only had they not taken over the mainland from suddenly-Taiwan, Taiwan didn't exist at all. At first it was kind of funny. Then China became a world superpower and, well, nobody wants to make them angry. Nowadays, then, most countries don't formally recognise Taiwan to avoid getting on China's bad side, but otherwise they act in every way like Taiwan's a real country. (The alternative would be to consider Taiwan part of China, which simply doesn't bear out if you go to the place.)

Saudi Arabia Syria Iran Uzbekistan India laos Indonesia Brunei South Korea gets you the mainland

Sub DPRK for southkorea

It's always a great mess when there's 3 seconds left, and Philippines, Bangladesh and East Timor are left...On phone

Saudi Arabia, Syria, Armenia, Uzbekistan, India, Laos, China, Indonesia, Brunei and then all island countries

Dang, missed 3 countries :/ well, still 5/5

45/48 first try. Pretty good!

kept typing is russia expecting it to work

Took 3 tries, but finally got them all :)

I'm surprised only 1.2% of people got all of them, and even more surprised Cyprus is not the least guessed.

Why KSA don't work?
