I think I partially figured it out: using American English, the letter U is used less often, as in flavor or favorite, so it's worth more. The points probably change within languages
me neither. i spent 2 minutes trying to type zambia. turns out it's value is about three quarters of the minimum to make this list. i thaught it would be 25 at least! (i got 3, zimbabwe, micronesia, and drc) ☹️
Good quiz. I took it three times :)
and i didn't use the long form of the name (as congo for the republic of congo or macedonia for FYR of macedonia) except for drc and car
