Countries of the World - Three Minute Sprint

I got 158

I got this after 3 straight days of practice. My advice: try finishing up Europe, Asia, and Africa with at least 1:10 or 1:15 or so left. North and South America should be ideally finished in about 30-35 seconds. Australia + Oceania should be finished in less than 10 seconds. Remember the abbreviations too, like DPRK, ROK, ROC, PRC, PNG, NZ, DR, Congo, Car, FYROM, KSA. Those will save you so much time. Other than that, most of it was just muscle memory from practice. Glhf!

196 first try with 1 second left. I also didn't practice so I was pretty slow, that's a decent result for me

My strat:

All of the "hard" countries first. I start with Caribbean+Central America, then Pacific + Indonesia, then Central Asia, all the african islands, then all the micronations in EU. This usually takes about a minute.

Minute 2 is all of africa + middle east

Minute 3 is everything else. Blitz through the rest of asia + EU, then speed through NA + SA with about 20 secs left. I managed to finish with 2 seconds left

Abbreviations I use - DR, NZ, PNG, CAR, DPRK, ROK, PRC, ROC, KSA, FYROM

finally got it in 2:59. it quite literally took me 46 tries across 4 days.

tips:

turn on show missing countries, it really helps

try to get all the hard countries out of the way in the first minute, like marshall islands and equatorial guinea

use all the abbreviations

ROC, ROK, DPRK, CAR, USA, DR, UK, KSA, congo, NZ, UAE, FYROM

also i wouldn't use spaces

i personally use brasil instead of brazil since it's more convenient to type

good luck! :)
