Couldn't DE also be Democratic Republic of the Congo?

Thanks - I've made an adjustment to avoid that ambiguity.

I believe that The Democratic Republic of the Congo would DRC, not DE.

Maybe because many people have been to paradise, but they've never been to ME. (If you are too young to remember those lyrics, keep it to yourself.)

I wish you had kept those lyrics to yourself, now they are an ear worm for this "old-timer" :)

Me too, it's a shame when a good quiz becomes a typing test.

The two minute timer wasn't supposed to reduce it to a typing test; it's just there to provide a fun beat-the-clock challenge given that this is a relatively easier version of the other quizzes in this category: Countries by First and Last Letter) and Countries by Last Two Letters. The average score for this quiz is currently several points higher than these other two variants.

Im glad this quiz has a short time limit. This is the first quiz in ages where the time matters at all. Usually the timer is just meaningless.

This isn't a typing test. There is ample time to type them all.

Time seems reasonable to me, I could ve used more and gotten the last two/three, but I think a quiz is timed well when you just miss out on the last two (while not rushing)

I kept trying to match them to their car registration codes (IS = Iceland, TR = Turkey, etc.)

Could not for the life of me get 'IS'. All I could think of is the local spelling for Iceland, Ísland.

Kept staring at TR and my mind kept saying "Transylvania" , "oops not a country.. how about Translyvania..." It was a vicious cycle.

Loved it. The two I struggled most with were the consonant-vowel-vowel ones - I guess it changes the expected pronunciation when saying the first two letters out loud

I can see from my stats I've taken this quiz 3 times, though I don't remember the first 2 times, and apparently keep missing the same 3 answers: Ecuador, Luxembourg, and Mexico.

I can't believe I missed Mexico! And by missed it, what I really mean is I can't believe I remembered it at the very last second and was one letter short of actually getting it. I had "Mexic" typed out when I ran out of time.

This is a great quiz. Any chance of making it so that it changes each time, like the Random Capital to Country?

It would be a much smaller pool. I count a grand total of 54 countries that can be uniquely identified by their first two letters.

Once non countries get into your head it is hard to get m out! And from the starts all sorts of things went to my mind. States, cities, regions etc. Like crete hawaii memphis...

Funny how the three I missed were also the lowest scorers, really didnt expect that ! Ok voor trinidad it is understandable.
