Honestly, no one really cares that you got X:XX. Being a quicker typist doesn't allow you to gloat to other people that you can. Yay, you can type the countries of Europe in under 5 minutes. Being able to accomplish this task does not make you any more special than anyone else. It just proves that you have a better ability to type and memorize (Don't get me started on cheating) than other people, or not really since anyone can do it in a few weeks or days and everyone brags about their special ability "to memorize countries" and can do anything with this such minor power. So when you are going to post about your time and percentage, just think, do others really care?
The arguments above for including Turkey don't mention that in all in other quizzes on Jetpunk where the issue is relevant, Turkey is included as a country in Europe. So, for consistency it should also be included here. The fact that most of it is in Asia is irrelevant - Russia is also mostly in Asia.
Huh? Turkey certainly isn't included in Europe on Jetpunk. Istanbul is quite often, because it is on the European side of that sound, but NOT Turkey as a whole.
Things were slow over the Labor Day weekend and QM thought, "What can I do to restart the endless arguments over Cyprus, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Narnia?"
Crimea is part of Ukraine. Legally, technically and politically. Crimea is recognized as part of Russia only by Russia and couple of other countries. Fix this.
Just a typing challenge, if you know them you know them, if you dont you dont. If you want typing challenges go to quizzes like type 1-100 in 30 seconds.
Took me 51 seconds this time - phewwwwww! (This only worked because 'Macedonia' is still accepted - I would have had to retype that otherwise :-)). Cool quiz!
United Kingdom left the EU. Please update this quiz. It's a great quiz, I've done it heaps, aced it a lot, but it would be nice for it to be up to date.
I see you've removed the star next to United Kingdom. I'm from the UK and a lot of us don't wan that anymore lol. Also, we haven't fully left the EU especially with the thing that's going on right now D:... Also, if you include Russia, then you definitely should include turkey because it is eurasian just like Russia (and Cyprus) so please consider that.
70% of Russia's population is in Europe whereas in Turkey only about 15% of the population lives in Europe. Cyprus is closer to the Middle East and Northern Africa than to Europe. (not counting the British Military bases)
that's not the way to show that Cyprus is in Asia. It's part of the EU. It is kinda like Trinidad and Tobago if you use that method you would say it would be in South America
Good day to everybody reading this comment. To solve all the continental borders drama, Imma tell you that this quiz, as many others, follows the divisions that JetPunk 'believes'. Cyrpus is considered Asian, Turkey, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan are not considered transcontinental as well as Russia and Greece. And of course, no Transnistria, no Abkhazia, no Artsakh and no South Ossetia. Hope to solve all the drama!
None of the popular divisions between Europe and Asia make any sense, and are just as arbitrary as Jetpunk's. Also, all of the states you listed don't have sufficient recognition to be considered countries, with none being recognized by more than 5 countries, all being aligned to Russia. There is another factor to this, which is control over borders. Countries like Palestine or Western Sahara may have recognition, but lack this, meaning they aren't included.
So, we can add JetPunk to the list of entities that recognise Crimea as part of Russia? Okay, now apart from Russia, JetPunks joins the position of Afghanistan, Armenia, Cuba, Kyrgyzstan, Nicaragua, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Zimbabwe on considering Crimea part of Russia. While the rest of +180 countries (with the exception of some neutral countries) recognise Crimea as part of Ukraine and condemn the annexation of Crimea by Russia. Simply great, JetPunk!
Why not accepting also the annexation of Austria, Sudetenland and Poland by Nazi Germany?
Just because you don't like the fact that it is Russian, doesn't mean it is incorrect. I hate the fact that Russia annexed Crimea just as much as the next person, but Russia is technically in control of it.
A singing contest which is held for fun and entertainment? Hardly need to break down hard political barriers (though it does try). Israel, Turkey, Kazakhstan and others compete through UEFA in football, doesn't make them Europe.
Welcome to Jetpunk, see above comments, or comments on any quiz that categorises by continent for your amusement. Also please see different between EU and Europe. Enjoy your stay.
Not sure if you're purposely keeping North Macedonia in it's former alphabetical position on purpose, or if it's an oversight and should be moved down between Netherlands and Norway?
Because they've just applied to be members of UEFA. Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Georgia, Israel, Kazakhstan and Turkey are all members of UEFA rather than AFC.
You really ought to remove "FYROM" as a type-in for Macedonia, aka North Macedonia. It's basically a pejorative invented by Greece to demean the country.
Sorry to add a whiney comment, but the fact that Jetpunk strays from any popular definition (UN/EU/USA) in these kinds of subjects seems like just asking for trouble. I appreciate the commitment to what the authors consider "objective," but in this case Turkey is objectively in Europe. So what's the point?
I don't want to be that person who's like 'I got them all in 2 seconds AND I'm only 10' but well (im a hypocrite) I got it in 1:58 and I'm a only 12 year old who really needs to learn to touchtype
If you consider Crimea and Sevastopol to be part of Russia, then you should also add Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts as part of it, or show all six of these as part of Ukraine. While I'm here:
Türkiye, Georgia, Cyprus, Armenia and Azerbaijan, while being culturally connected to Europe, have most of their areas and populations in Asia. Since this is a quiz about geography, I see why they are not included. However, since the divide between Europe and Asia is political anyway, as they are connected by land, I also see the argument for their inclusion. Personally, I think that the quiz should specify that this is based on the geographical definition of Europe, rather than the political one, if the current answers are to be kept.
Tonga and Palau are... all the way across the world? And Scotland is part of the UK. The UK covers everything there, England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland.
I think that Russia is part of it based on the population spread - most of Russia's population are on the "Europe" side. Turkey has a small amount of population on that side.
Map incorrectly colours in Crimea (which is part of Ukraine) when Russia is entered. Although Russia has invaded and is occupying Crimea, it is not Russian territory, and the propaganda map showing it as part of Russia should not be promoted.
Technically Cyprus is located in Asia but it is often considered to be culturally and politically a part of Europe and it has been in the European Union since 2004. Cyprus is a divided island but only the Republic of Cyprus is internationally recognized.
yes im bragging
it took 6 Months to get Below 3:40!
I can die peacefully now
Also 45 with 3:40 remaining. Fun quiz!
i think the quiz time should be reduced to make it more of a challenge
Why not accepting also the annexation of Austria, Sudetenland and Poland by Nazi Germany?
Also why are you talking about Zimbabwe and Venezuela?
14/32
