I just tried this on Sporcle to compare the two. This is a way nicer experience. The names don’t clutter it up and the webpage doesn’t crash after ten countries. This is the quiz that caused me to come, and I totally forgot just how bad of an experience sporcle is. You do maybe two minutes of a quiz and then the webpage just crashes on you.

This quiz has taught me how to type fast, genuinely. I've been doing it for about 5 or 6 years now and the difference is amazing. Your time is really good considering almost nobody off of this site can name all of the countries; at least I've never met anyone else who can!

All I care about now about this quiz once I can name all the countries of the world is to improve my typing speed. When I first did it, I used like 10 minutes. Now, I got sub 6. My goal is to get sub 5, but that is going to be pretty hard for myself.

just saying it now, best route is starting at canada then going south until you hit south america, then the caribbean from left to right then south america from north to south

then go to france, the iberian peninsula then get uk, ireland, and iceland. then follow the northern coast of france getting the baltics, scandinavia, and russia. then go south from lithuania getting belarus, ukraine and the rest from there going south west and east ending at italy. then get all the ones that are too small to see on the map.

Then go to kazakhstan and get the rest of the stans and move west getting the arabian peninsula, turkey, and cyprus. them go to mongolia and china and go east to the Korean peninsula and japan then get the rest of south asia and go to malaysia, getting singapore and brunei, then indonesia, getting east timor.

Get oceania from from papua new guinea, australia, and new zealand. Get the rest of oceania from north west to south east.
