Name all 50 states in the USA. Easy, right?
There are 9 countries in the world that start with the letter I, most of them well-known. But how many do YOU know?
Based on the clues, can you guess these cities which start with each letter of the alphabet?
Can you type the first 2 letters of each country in 90 seconds?

To address a few questions repeatedly asked in the comments:

- A landmass is any contiguous piece of land, such as Afro-Eurasia, Borneo, Hispaniola, etc.

- Names as in the Countries of the World quiz are used, so the last letter of the USA is S (United States)

- French Guiana is an overseas department or France, not an overseas territory. Therefore France is on both the landmass of the Americas as well as Afro-Eurasia, while it's continent is still Europe

Hope this helps :)

Originally there was a little bit more explanation but that seems to have been removed once this was featured. The quiz works as follows:

- Type any country. The country will show up in one of 12 colours. Say we type China.

- Use the legend on the bottom left of the svg to see what the colour means. For example, China shows up in yellow, meaning the mystery country is on the landmass of Afro-Eurasia, but not in Asia, doesn't start with C, and doesn't end with A.

- Using that info, we type the next country. Let's say we pick the DR Congo, which shows up in black. This means the mystery country is in Africa, doesn't end with O, but starts with D

- We then pick Djibouti, with which the quiz ends as it was the mystery country :)

Hmm China should have been cyan for Last Letter and Landmass then (LL & LA), and it's using China and North Macedonia indeed. I'll check to see if my algorithm did something weird there, thanks for letting me know!

Edit: the code is assigning LL & LA to China for that one, not sure what happened. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I absolutely love this quiz, but the scoring doesn't really make sense at the moment. A win automatically awards you 196/196 or 100% and 5 points, and then you can't improve anymore. It would probably make more sense to base scoring on time or something.

Great quiz!

Apologies if someone else has made a similar comment and I've not seen it, but this is an example of a quiz where you can get penalised (as I did) for typing Dominica, when you're actually going for Dominican Republic. On a subsequent attempt though, I discovered that DRepublic works for Dominican Republic - so that can be used for a workaround. I anticipate though that the issue remains in the cases of Uk/Ukraine and Niger/Nigeria.

So unless I am missing something very obvious, this one has an error.
