If you find any mistakes on the quiz e.g. a country appearing within the star but not counted as an answer, or vice versa, please let me know in a comment and include the three digit code which appears after the quiz at the bottom left, to save me trawling through the hundreds of answers looking for the broken one. Thanks!

Dependent Territories such as Greenland, Gibraltar and Puerto Rico are not counted in the quiz.

Integral Overseas Territories such as Hawaii, The Azores and the Canary Islands are counted as these are considered integral parts of the country.

The ones to watch out for are, as ever, the overseas departments and regions of France (French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, Réunion) and the Caribbean Netherlands (Bonaire, Saint Eustatius, Saba).

Thanks :) I hope it's not too confusing at first. I went through a few different versions of the text box while trying to keep it short. Open to any suggestions.

Ha, yeah this one was more work than I anticipated. Started it back in 2021 and gave up on it quite a few times...

Also, on 407, Puerto Rico shows up inside the star but USA is not an option. I think it should if my understanding of the directions is accurate.

Thanks for flagging, that's intentional though. As per the sticky, Puerto Rico is a dependent territory not an integral part of the country (like Hawaii). It's always going to lead to some confusion but I decided to discount dependent territories as otherwise there are tiny islands all over the world belonging to USA, France, UK etc to account for. I tried to go for the most consistent and playable option.

Wow, that's amazing! I love the twist (no pun intended) to show the countries in a random orientation (as opposed to the traditional north-south). Nominated, of course!

I won't be surprised if this becomes (one of) the most taken quizzes for 2024. Fully deserved!

Unbelievable. I have no idea how this is even possible. I assume the quiz is somehow linking random groups of answers to a specific SVG layer, but the amount of time and expertise you put into this quiz… wow.

Half right! Each group of answers is linked to a map orientation, but it's all one layer - basically the standard JetPunk SVG map. It literally spins, zooms and moves the map to the correct position each time. This allows for many permutations while keeping the SVG size under the limit as its only one map and all the variation is in the CSS that moves it.

Great quiz, but the map doesn't seem to work in Safari. (Works great in Chrome.)

I'm guessing you have Safari zoomed in or out? There was an issue with it not displaying correctly on Safari when not at 100% zoom, but I have implemented a fix for this. It should now work fine on Safari. Please let me know if you still have issues and note the version of Safari and Mac OS if possible. Thanks for flagging!

woah... this ought to be included directly in the Hall of Fame

The territories and dependencies are quite tricky though;

Great job

Thanks!

Yeah, this is pretty amazing... :) Are the star locations really random, or do you have a specific number of variations?
