Countries of Europe - One Minute Sprint

First try : 42/45. I CAN do it :p.

Second try : 44/45. First try was... embarrassing.

I only got it today ^^.

Three tries, and I can't beat 39 :P

Took this several times again today, not able to beat 42. I'm fine with it though :)

nice brah

Not a bad time! For those looking for slightly more of a challenge, try this 30 second version! The average is only 16, let me know if you are able to beat that!

4 tries to get all. 3 secs left. Good enough.

YES! Got them all with a second remaining! Heavens, that was nerve-wracking though...

I'm joining the same club.

I'll join too... misspelling Serbia with 3 seconds and Hungary still left...

I'm part of the club two. Literally one second left.

Why is Cyprus in brackets???

Oi! Stop whining! STeFF is curious, so let's give her a thoughtful answer. And the answer is, that some books and websites place Cyprus in Asia, and others place it in Europe, so using the brackets here kinda hedges bets between both options.

I don't understand why sometimes it's in Asia as it is in the EU.

Being part of some organization does not move the country closer to the "geographical" continent. E.g. Israel is part of the UEFA but noone in their right mind would suggest it is part of the European continent. Same goes for Cyprus though this case is a bit different since the country is on an island located on the Mediterranean sea and therefore it is harder to define whether it is part of one or the other continent (where I come from all the Caribbean islands are considered to be part of the North America even though some of those are just miles away from the South America). To make it even worse the island is divided culturally.

And geographically, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia are in Asia (most of them lies south of the Caucasus Mountains) but all three are part of the Council of Europe.

Why doesn’t jetpunk just choose one continent to be as the “correct” one that Cyprus is in?

Jetpunk does have a standard when it comes to Cyprus (and Russia, for that matter). However, it gets debated and argued so frequently that many quizzes simply throw it in automatically to try and sidestep the debate.

@Insaniot - it does. Cyprus is in ASIA.

How do you know SteFF is female?

Half of it isn't ruled by Greece. ~2/3 is owned by the Republic of Cyprus, which isn't controlled by Greece. Turkey, however, illegally controls the other ~1/3.

Us controls little sections of the Cyprus, as well as a UN buffer zone.

British Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia

What do we learn of this? NEVER MAKE A QUIZ WHERE YOU NEED TO NAME ALL COUNTRIES OF EUROPE/ASIA ^^

Great quiz. Got them all with 2 seconds remaining!

Love this! Got them all with 14 seconds remaining.

How can you ever find time to type Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Czech Republic?! Sigh...

I found time to type Liechtenstein. I do it at the start and thee rest will be easier

I tried typing those first to get them out of the way, then didn't have time to do France, Greece, and Malta.

Whoa, got them all with 16 seconds to spare on my first time. But okay, let's be fair, I live in Europe and I've taken the Countries of the World quiz like waaaayyy to many times...

The problem is not to know them all, but to type quickly...

I know them all, but can't type that quickly. Always miss a few (Liechtenstein, Czechrepublic, etc)

Czechia works like a charm. On the countries of the world, CAR and PNG are big time savers too.

UAE, USA, CAR, PNG, UK, work really well

Other Time Savers: PRC (China) ROC (Taiwan) DPRK (North Korea) ROK (South Korea) FYROM (Macedonia)

i put san marino and vatican, but fail to type in italy..wtf

Got them all from like fourth try, with a second left

Impossible!! First try with 5 seconds left. Whew!!

Please accept Czech for Czech Republic.

Agreed, the country was officially renamed Czechia recently and that name is accepted in the countries of the world quiz.

First try: 30 Second try: 29 Third try: 28 Ill just stop doing this

First try got 20 :-\

2nd try 19. 3rd try 21

Finished with 4 minutes left. Easy.

lol

missed vatican,liechtenstein and san marino lol

That was quite the thrill! 12 seconds left

Finally finished with 2 seconds left!

11 seconds left...I spend too much time on this website

1 second left!!!!

You do realise, like all time-based quizzes, you can just select the 'Take Untimed' function and it becomes a LOT less hard.

You do realise, like all time-based quizzes, selecting the 'Take Untimed' function won't give you points.

I can say the countries in one minute, but I can not type them in one minute, my fingers can't do it

If you think this is easy then try ...... Mal's European Closest Capital Hopscotch

TURKEY is in Europe

If you're going to count Russia, you'd better count Turkey too then

Has anyone ever tried googling Europe or Asia? Or looked it up on Wikipedia? There's even an article about Continental borders. Russia is always counted as part of Europe while Turkey and Cyprus aren't. When I had to learn the countries of Europe in school that's the way I learned it as well. People once decided those borders. There are century-old maps that show the exact outline known today.

UGH I can't get past 42/45. I always mess up in Czech Republic or Liechtenstein....

OMG, got them all first time!

My knowledge of the countries isn't the issue... I can't type to save myself

Need to accept Czechia

I hate that Russia is considered part of Europe. Even when looking at the map I never think of it since like 90% of the country is in Asia.

If 25% of the area is in Europe, that means 75% is in Asia. And since this quiz is about geography, I don't really think the population bit matters that much. Anyway, I'm not asking or expecting you to change it, just expressing my annoyance at the standard way it's classified, since it's very counterintuitive to me.

Fortunately, I still get 5 points even when I forget Russia.

Hey relessness would u check out my quizzes

I was writing Liechtenstein when I ran out of time :(

Got them all with 7 SECONDS remaining

26/45 I feel like i'm getting worse.

Congrats to all those who have completed this - excellent typing skills!!

after like 20 tries i got them all with 2 seconds left. ugh i still just 1 point to get to lvl 33 lol

This one got easier now Czechia is accepted as a type in.

THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE

37/45, I know them but I type so slow. :/

I got 22/45 on my first try I'm a slow typer.

25/45 first try could've done better

28/45

Got them all with 7 seconds remaining.

100% with 5 seconds to spare

Did it in 2 tries

After a LOT of times, done 2 seconds remaining. Improved my best today at 6 secons, woohoo!

Cyprus threw me, once I typed that in I was in a right mess

got all with 3 seconds left, and out of all 10 times I've taken this, 24 countries I get each time

7 seconds remaining yeaah

It accepts Czechia and UK. Just a tip for quicker times. Also - do the bigger countries first...

Enjoy a tricky quiz?..... try my 'Double Trouble Capitals quiz' here it is

If I hadn't gotten excited at the prospect of me getting 100% first try I might've gotten 100% first try.

1 sec left :)

It's disputed, but lots of countries recognise Kosovo's independence and generally it is an independent country for Jetpunk's purposes

37/45 82% rip

1 Second left :DD

FYROM is accepted for Macedonia if that cuts time

First try 45/45

Done on second try, 3 seconds remaining :P

8 secs remaining

44/45 fist try. Mistyped Macedonia and just came short in time for removing the text and replacing it with correct spelling. 5/5 points so I'm good :)

First attempt: 42/45. I missed Bulgaria, Hungary and Kosovo. In my anxiety due to time passing, my fingers miswrote many countries, otherwise I would have had more time to reach the maximum score! :'(

Would you accept "mold"? I couldn't finish the word in time.

at least this one is possible to finish. The "countries of Africa" version isn't :(

45/45 10 seconds left!!!

36/45 first try. I never try these quizzes because my typing skills are below zero, but I did OK

Hey now... I'm Belgian and Cyprus can be wherever it wants to be for all I care. And I've asked around, fellow countrymen and - women agree with me: If Cyprus wants to be in Asia, it can be; if it wants to be in Europe, that is fine by us as well. It can even be in Africa for all we care. And it's Belgian fries. The other ones are just greasy, wrongly fried pieces of potato. All hail Leo. Face.

@QM believes that Belgium is responsible for all the world's problems. He has put it as number one in a list of greatest enemies of the USA. In response to a quiz about irreligious countries he commented: 'Elgium °_°. Except - it isn't serious. It's a response to unfair bigotry against the USA.

Finally I've done it, with only two seconds remaining!

Level 50 on this quiz!

5 seconds to spare!

*hits the dab like wiz khalifa* FIRST TIME BOYS FIRST TIME

First try - 45 ;)

got it in 1 attempt, 1 second left :D
