Why is this a speed run??

Make it a longer time limit like 5 minutes and it'll be way more fun!

I think the point is to make you go fast and "trick" you into typing an E. That is, with all the time in the world, you probably won't accidentally type an E, defeating the purpose of the whammy. But if you're pressed for time, there's a higher chance you accidentally start typing "Ukrain-BOOM"

I think you could still have this effect if the quiz was say 2 minutes.

But maybe QM changed the quiz so as to take-max.

Yeah, guess I disagree with most of the comments. I didn't do very well but it's fun to think fast for a change rather than having a long time limit and just trawling through all the countries of the world again. 2 minutes would be fine too.

Thanks. This was my thought too.

Otherwise this is just a "name the countries" quiz.

It would be a "name the countries" quiz, but one would still have to know all the countries to name. Plus the added linguistic element of not typing anything with an "e". I'd definitely be interested in an alternate version with only 1 "whammy", but a timer long enough to have a reasonable chance of actually getting all the answers.

Either way, a big part of the pushback you're getting is probably due to the title of this quiz, which suggests it's simply a geography quiz, and indicates nothing about the speed typing element, which if mentioned in the title, would allow people who are not into that to simply not click on it.

If you added "in 60 seconds" to the quiz name you'd probably lose most of the complaints QM. I don't see a problem with a quiz that's impossible to 100% but clearly some people do, the title would tell those people this one isn't for them.

Great idea for a quiz but the time is ridiculous way too short . Some of us are not into speed type quizzes because we are not fast . I like the whammy idea but the time element is stupid and ruins a good quiz.

I thought this would be a fun quiz until I hit the start button and saw the ridiculous 60 second timer. If the title had accurately indicated it was primarily a test of one's typing speed rather than a geography quiz, I wouldn't have even clicked on it.

Good challenge, but make it a lot longer say 7.5 to 10 minutes.

196 countries of the world takes 15 minutes so go for about half that time

Just a note... whammies are only activated with the letter 'E' is pressed, so guessing typins don't deduct whammies. (like... UK is safe, so is FYROM, and NZ etc)

Just here to try sway the vote back in favour of short quiz. I think it's less a typing quiz and more a thinking quiz, 32 WPM isn't that fast for 5 points.

And as others said it's better to have to think about what your answers are instead of reeling off as many as you can like what usually happens with specific country quizzes

This was kinda dumb. I don't understand how I am supposed to succeed in this quiz....EITHER do the no-E sudden death thing, OR do the insane time limit (or even do that but just choose a smaller subset of countries)....but don't do BOTH of those things at once. It's just... absurd and unreasonable?

I could absolutely destroy this quiz eventually if it was just one or the other...but not both of those things at once. It's pointless.

Just from a rational general-interest puzzle making perspective.

I like the quiz idea. Very challenging!

But I'd suggest to add 1 minute to the timer. The current 60sec are very frustrating.

Just take a look at the average score: it's only 16.4%.
