What about dependencies (i.e., Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, etc.)? They have country codes too.

You can't test your knowledge if you have the time to test multiple abbreviations. You won't actually memorize all the codes and only learn the weird ones. Those "some guesses" shouldn't be a thing. Memorization is knowledge. Don't call putting the first letter of a country and then trying each subsequent letter of the country's name "knowledge." I miss when quizzes were about learning new things and not just a way for people to get satisfaction with their own "knowledge."

Congratulations to all the speed typists that have brainwashed the Quizmaster into making interesting quizzes with ridiculous time limits. Spoilt the quiz for those of us that enjoy using our brains and learning something rather than doing a quiz 20 times to beat the clock.

If you dislike these 'speed typing' quizzes, here's an amazing way to deal with them! JUST DON'T TAKE THEM. Better yet, make your own time-adjusted version, on the off chance there aren't twelve already. Why do you and others like you get worked up about this kind of thing?

You're not learning something if you don't need to learn it, I doubt you remember all of these codes by now because you just guessed for most of them.

Wow, so sports questions that reach back beyond 1950 are deemed too tangential, if not completely irrelevant, because the frequency that they are correctly guessed is soooo low.....but the massive rash of low %'s for even obvious countries on this list isn't evidence that 1:00 minute is ridiculous? 6% for "SK" and Slovakia? 4% for "UA" and Ukraine? And that's okay? But heaven forbid a sports question reference Bob Feller or Josh Gibson or Connie Mack.

more chance in guessing the country codes even if you have no clue, than those names. the chance you guess a random name that is actually correct is close to zero ( unless the name that need to be guessed is something like john smith,,, thén there is a chance..)

Normally I'm put off by quizzes when I can only get nine answers on my first go, but I took it twice untimed and ended up getting 36/44 which beat 99% of takers so that was satisfying.

The average score is currently 10/44. This if anything is proof that this quiz needs more time than just one minute.

I thought that I'd accidentally given up on the quiz twice before I saw that it was only one minute. It needs at least 30 more seconds.

Why are some countries in Europe allowed to be represented by their own language (DE for Germany instead of GE, ES for Spain instead of SP), but others are not (Greece not Hellas, Finland not Suomi, Hungary, etc.)? Why are these latter countries forced to adopt their English-language names and corollary abbreviations?

One would have to look into the history of these codes, it's quite possible the country itself wanted to use a more internationally recognizable code.

Too little time. As each field requires selection, the time requirement is too narrow. I get that "with practice" someone could get it done. I don't see that as the point of the tests, but to test existing knowledge.

2nd time I got all but croatia and serbia. And it wasnt because of time. I just couldnt think of it, must ve had about 15 seconds for them left. Tried like 20 things each.

So definitely not impossible

I think I have a few suggestions.

The time limit for this quiz is slightly short, increasing it by 30 seconds would make it much easier for everyone. And, Kosovo and Turkey are not included in this quiz. Maybe including them too with the unofficial two-letter code XK for Kosovo and TR for Turkey (Turkey is not entirely in Europe but has an exclave in European territory) would make this quiz better.

Ran out of time at 25/44. Nice quiz overall.
