Why do you have Kyrgyzstan twice?

Level 68

Jan 19, 2019

As mentioned in the description, some countries may appear twice since both forms of their alternations are possible. E.g. PERU can be P_R_ or _E_U

I like this feature of having the same country twice, tricksy

Level 72

Jul 3, 2020

I had both forms of Ecuador consecutively. Really threw me for a while. Therefore, I like it :-).

Level 78

Jul 6, 2020

I admit I hadn't read that part of the description, so was confused when Paraguay showed up twice. Makes perfect sense now that I understand the parameters.

Level 76

Jun 28, 2020

It is a result of it being random I assume. Not purposefully put in a single quizround together.

One of them is France.

"Netherlands" doesn't fit, there was one gap too little; I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that in more than two years.

Level 68

Jul 4, 2021

I have double checked and they're both correct.

The two for Netherlands are:

N_T_E_L_N_S

_E_H_R_A_D_

Which are both the correct expected outcomes (as can be seen by merging the two together!

I had two sets of doubles! For me, both Andorra and Djibouti appeared twice. According to the stats, there's a >40% difference in guess rates between the two forms of Andorra, with the version A_D_R_A at 77% and _N_O_R_ at only 34%.

I find that it's significantly harder when you don't get the starting letter. I had Slovenia twice but only got it right when I had the starting S (however it was the opposite for most people on this one)
