I don't really like it but it's nice to see you guys like it! I know this website jokes about it a lot but I'm actually 15 and I just learned all the countries in the world I'm so proud of myself,
Indeed. Strategy: type "ia", "an" (for stan) and "nd" (for land) Then go through the blue countries and type the first two letters (which is a lot easier than the last two letters), which may be the last two letters of other countries. This will turn them blue, and start a chain reaction which will burn through your countries pretty fast.
Like the idea though! (Not sure about the time though even without lag, it seems you will just be racing superfast without even noticing what is happening to the countries on the screen, which I am sure will have taken quite some effort. Enjoyment is key :) )
It doesn't seem as though you are being consistent, QM. If USA is required in other quizzes, then why isn't ca accepted here? If US was all that's required in other quizzes, then it would make sense that es would be the answer here, just as you accept om for the UK rather than nd. Would you please share your reasoning with us? Or is today national "Make Them Whine Day"?
USA is short for United States of America though, UK is short for United kingdom. For none of the other countries the official names are used (besides obviously for those few where they do not differ from the informal one). So that is a weird comparison. They only ask for the common abbreviation to be written in full.
Another point that sort of matters it is not like US is accepted on any of these quizzes only USA, so if it starts with un- it makes sense that it ends with -ca
But FYROM for North Macedonia and DPRK for North Korea are also accepted in quizzes, but FO (FOrmer) and DE (DEmocratic) do not work for them in this quiz.
Making the quiz so short makes it an exercise in typing speed versus actually taking a quiz. Would like to be able to look at the map and make calculated decisions instead of having to go through the alphabet.
266 now, that's enough for my nerves today. Don't see me getting 100% if it was close I might try again. But this feels impossible (unless you write it down or make words from the needed letters, but not gonna do that)
I'm pretty sure the 1% who get 100% either practiced more than a few hundred times or cheated in some way. Personally, I was curious how hard this would be with all the two letter combinations in front of me... so I made that list! It took me half a dozen tries to even type all those combinations in so fast in alphabetical order. 141 combinations in 1:30 is pretty dang tough with all the weird letter combinations.
After a lot of practice, got it with 14 seconds left to spare. I still think it would be more fun if it had more time. That was less a quick identifying of the countries and more of just learning which strings of letters get you the most countries fastest.
It is possible to complete it in 47 secs, my best so far! You just need to have a fixed order you do it in so that you don't need to think as you type.

Crazy quiz !! Not sure if I want to frustrate myself more, but I think I do, but I dont haha
Don't ask how many attempts and techniques I tried for this one, I've done it at least once every day for months, lol!
Finally nailed it.
