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 ;)

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!

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.

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.

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.
Stewart

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.

Stewart

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!

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
