40 Random missing Countries on the World Map

I’d have to disagree that it’s the most difficult quiz on Jetpunk in terms of knowing answers to questions, only in terms of how quickly one can type. And when you use Jetpunk to pass the time or keep yourself awake on the commute to work, using a phone with a tiny keyboard (and the clumsy hands of a 6’3’’ person), having to manoeuvre the map to be able to see the missing countries, it does become very difficult. And it’s amazing how many of these ‘random’ quizzes so frequently include answers like ‘Equatorial Guinea,’ just to makes sure there’s a little extra typing to do.

I’d always thought quizzing was about testing your knowledge, or ability to work out answers to problems/puzzles. All of these fast-typing ones are less about quizzing, and more like an application to be a secretary. As you say, with a bit longer on the clock, plenty get 100%, which tells you they know the answers, all you’ve done therefore is made another speed-typing test, which JP has more than enough of.

Well, it was a suggestion but apparently the invitation wasn’t genuine. I think it’s a valId one, especially since there exist similar quizzes with 20 answers, but more available time. As I said, I had no difficulty locating or naming the countries, but the ability to type them at speed is the only stumbling block.

I do wish I could take a screen grab and post it here. Having had another stab, the randomiser managed to spit out the usual suspects again, including… Equatorial Guinea! I use a phone because I mainly use the site on the commute. I’m certain I’m not the only one. But there will be disabled and elderly people who use this site as well, who are potentially left frustrated when they know the answers but can’t type quickly enough to satisfy quiz setters who imagine that knowledge only counts if it can be typed at speed.

The pinned comment does ask for suggestions on how to improve the quiz. But you appear to have rejected any that are made, and they all refer to the time.

After trying yours I decided to do an hardest version myself, so if you like go check it out and tell me what you think ;D
