yea I was kinda shocked at the average score. It is a new quiz though, so it will mainly be taken by people who do a lot of quizzes and are good at them.
Now I see it also matters a lot the "hand" you are dealt.
I was wondering why India scored highest while I was nowhere near to even reaching it. I thought are they deliberately looking for the flag? But it is randomized, the order.
While I find this consistent with other quiz (eg, Congo isn't in "Countries that starts with C", but in "Countries that starts with R"), I really fail to see the reason for it.
I mean, every country, or almost every, have a short and long form name. Congo is the short form of country whose long form is "Republic of Congo" (note, "Democratic Republic of Congo" is something else; "Congo" isn't a short form for it ; it hasn't really one, except maybe DRC). So, why insisting on "R" for "Congo", when for example, "Mexico" is "M for Mexico" not "U for United Mexican States" (or, in French version of this quiz, France is "F for France", not "R for République française").
I feel the only reason why (as often on jetpunk) a totally indefensible and arbitrary rule has been stated is because it makes it simpler (in this case, because of the two congos), and then, retroactively, convoluted reasons are invented to make the arbitrary rule appear logical.
My best is 169 lol
I'm not sure I'm a fast enough lol

Its been a lot of time since I took a test as difficult as this. Good test.
