One often pays more attention to things that happen to one that are not as good as others, giving the impression that those things happen more often ;)

Trinidad is bottom (it is bigger), then Grenada, then St Vincent (the grenadines are these cute little islands leading to Grenada), with Barbados off to the side. I believe it goes St Lucia then Dominica.... Antigua and St Kitts are at the top but I cannot remember the positions of either.

Some small countries are really difficult to detect. please use circle to highlight them. Singapore maddened me!

Level 82

Jul 25, 2019

Singapore, St Lucia, St Vincent, Grenada, Dominica all do not show up on the map if they are selected. Probably all the tiny islands? San Marino seems to shows up okay though

Level 68

Jul 25, 2019

I'll fix these issues. Might take some time to update the SVG!

Level 32

Oct 9, 2019

I had a similar issue since St Vincent and saint lucia were both highlighted; they were on top of each other.

+10

Level 68

Jul 25, 2019

The issues have been addressed. Now all micronations and nations which are too small to see have a ring around them to show where they are. If you think there's any that should be added let me know - remember you can zoom the map too!

Level 75

Nov 13, 2020

Does Barbados have a ring? If it had a ring I didn't notice it. Maybe add tails to all the rings? ;)

love this series!

Level 67

Jul 28, 2019

Mine was very Africa-centred, Sudan, South Sudan, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Gabon, Sao Tome, Ghana and Togo all in one quiz! More than half...

Level 21

Jul 28, 2019

what are the odds of getting algeria 3 times in a row wow

Level 91

Aug 13, 2019

About 1/2230.9732

Level 63

Aug 6, 2019

Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe that's how the system works: I had both Dominica and Dominican Republic (which I got both from typing Dominica) as well as Sudan and South Sudan. Would be interesting if it always generates it that way and asks for connected names like both North + South Korea or both Congos. Or Niger and Nigeria? Great quiz anyway.

Level 67

Sep 4, 2019

Easy to check, do it a 2nd time.. Anyway the answer is no. mine were quit spread out besides the touching botswana and zimbabwe

I call BS.

Level 75

Jan 7, 2020

You mean you had Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan? Or you had all the -stan countries that you knew or could remember? Very unlikely.

Level 24

I kept thinking there were more little countries on this map but my screen is just dirty

Level 67

Oct 16, 2019

Oceania is toughest for me. Even with the circles, I find some countries too small to pick out. Zooming in wastes time.

Level 60

Nov 12, 2019

I think this may be my new favorite quiz. Very helpful for learning geography without being boring because it randomizes!

Level 55

Nov 17, 2019

the only country in oceania i got was one of the 4 i can remember

Level 61

Dec 27, 2019

Yeah, this is great, but I sat there watching my time run out with one left because I couldn't see luxembourg. Even after it ended, I had to look at the list to see what I missed. Still couldn't see it on the map. Need to be more noticeable please.

There's a distinct ring round it, not sure what else I can do!

Level 25

Jan 10, 2020

Oh can you make one for cities in a random country or continent

Level 44

Jan 26, 2020

Every time an island in Oceania is highlighted, I type every single one until it gets filled in.

Level 58

Apr 12, 2021

Me too because I can't be bothered to learn the locations? Except Nauru and Palau, which I sort of know, because of the Australian refugee scandal in the news a few years ago. And Tuvalu, because the stars on their flag are in the same configuration as the islands, which is just next level flag design lol

Level 50

Feb 6, 2020

I don't think this map isn't precise enough to pick out the smaller nations in the eastern Caribbean - St Vincent, Grenada, St Lucia and the French islands of Martinique and Guadalupe can all fall in the same circle.

Level 49

Hello, Stewart. Yesterday, Jetpunk was inoperated. Why? Did have any change on the site? Can you explain me?

Just some background maintenance, as clearly stated when visiting the site during the time. I can't elaborate on it.

Why do Jetpunk quizzes have such a hard time with French Guiana?

It never accepts the answer then says I have it right, and to top it, marks it as France!

Level 68

Mar 1, 2021

Maybe because French Guiana is a departement of France? Would you classify Hawaii as a separate country just because it's far from the U.S.?

Level 25

Apr 14, 2021

I got Liechtenstein and Austria in the same round which is kinda bad because the Austria dot overshadowed the Liechtenstein in my opinion but still good.

Level 38

Jan 15, 2022

the caribbean threw me off, HALF OF THE QUIZ WAS THERE💀

Level 44

Jan 17, 2022

I really do not think this is a true randomizer. Too many times countries that are touching each other appear on the map for this to be truly random.

Level 68

Jan 17, 2022

There's 317 country borders in the world. That's an average of roughly 1.5 per country. If we round up and assume every country borders 2 others then:

Given we're choosing 20 random countries here, the chance none of them share a border would be about 54%. So even with this very liberal and rough approach, we see that half the time bordering countries should show up.

However, now let's account for the 40 countries without borders, so we get 156 countries with borders. And now our % becomes (assuming 4 / 20 countries are borderless) 16.8%. So actually even with these liberal benefits (in your favour) we get that 1 in 6 times you play this quiz should have all borderless countries.

In reality, you'd probably be looking at more like 1 in 20 times given if you got Russia, China or France that immediately removes 10+ countries.

Overall: this quiz is truly random, and humans don't think true randomness is random at all.

Level 68

Jan 17, 2022

To elaborate on the last point, if you toss a coin 100 times, would you expect 50 heads and 50 tails? On average, yes. However, you'd also expect a string of heads or tails lasting 5 or more tosses, getting HTHTHTHT... etc. would be very unrandom!

Level 63

Jan 21, 2022

These comments interested me a lot, So I wrote a blog on the chance that you should get two bordering countries. Spoiler alert: Stewart's estimate was very, very close

Level 65

Mar 25, 2022

Fun Fact: Apple had to unrandomize their shuffle button in Music, because people thought it wasn't random. So they made it seem more random but making it not random. People have an idea of what's random and forget that random can also include things that don't seem random.
