Even if you 'luxuriously' spent a week in every country, that's 3.77 years; which doesn't seem terrible.
There are @20 countries the size of Taiwan>Slovenia. Another @13 Kuwait>Palestine. Leaving 32 tiny ones- even the biggest Bahrain is about 1/2 the size of London or New York.
I could imagine spending a week in Singapore, Montenegro, maybe Bahrain. I'd imagine spending 12 weeks in the 12 smaller Oceania countries might be challenging. Maybe if you love people and small islands.
How many weeks do you need to split bt the 4 stans? Or Central America? The Caribbean?
Travel time probably isn't horrible if you're doing >5 adjacent countries at a time, just 'expensive'.
Some countries bar your entry if you've visited Israel. I'd imagine there are other flags like that (I'm thinking Libya, S Sudan, Afghanistan, etc.). I imagine that's the obstacle to overcome.
If you can swim from Aus to NZ, you can swim from Japan to the US
Might want to specify if its to the mainland of Australia in the quiz.
First you'd need someone stupid enough to even try, then with fast enough reflexes and accelerating fast enough to get out of the way. At long ranges where you might have the time, you might not know a bullet is coming at you as long-range bullets are supersonic.
Anyway, don't even try...
15/15 1st try! Me happy :)
