How does someone answer these? They're impossible and hard.

Level 83

Dec 17, 2014

Learn something about African countries and then it become easy.

Level 22

Sep 1, 2015

Ok. Step one. Do the countries of the world quiz that is on this site, then slowly memorise them. That's what I did. Also doing it with Google maps is a help. Sorry this is a cheat's way but it is successful and I doubt all of you did this without some help from trusty google

Level 27

Mar 5, 2019

Wouldn't it be easier to start smaller? I'm taking the individual continent ones to help with the Countries of the World quiz. On my first try here I had only gotten Morocco, Egypt, Madagascar, and South Africa. But by repetition and mnemonic devices I'd gotten them all by 3rd or 4th try.

Level 73

Dec 25, 2020

I used to have to use google maps for Africa, I just had absolutely no clue about it. With a few months practice I can now do this quiz solo in any order - practice makes perfect!

Level 56

May 28, 2022

If you need to do it with Google Maps then did you really learn it? If you mean to start by using Google Maps then eventually move away from using it, then that's a great way to learn it, but if you mean always using Google Maps, then I'm not sure how much your learning in comparison to other methods like TH0R's.

And it's possible without Google by taking plenty of other African-related quizzes on JetPunk. You could spam this quiz or do the Countries of Africa (with a map, of course).

Level 46

May 16, 2023

Using google maps is good to start with, but if you keep on using it, are you learning?

Level 49

Jun 9, 2018

Easiest way to learn all the countries in a region or on a continent is get a map and spend lots of hours looking at it. Get a colour map where each country is a different colour, that makes it easy to distinguish different countries. Memorise a few countries at a time, like border countries gradually. Once you've got it locked in there, its there

Level 22

Jan 15, 2021

You don't even need to spend hours for Africa. Maybe for the World though

Level 22

Nov 4, 2020

Practice makes perfect.

Level 21

Nov 9, 2021

yes practice did make it perfect

Level 55

Feb 17, 2021

look at a map for 1 hour straight and it'll work (yes, it's boring but works)

Level 23

Sep 11, 2022

start small, with individual continent map quizzes. keep doing one if u keep getting it wrong. u will learn from ur mistakes bc of repetition. if u want to be flawless at countries of the world quiz try to do the same quiz in different ways after u get it right once

Level 52

May 15, 2023

I just got 54/54, because I know the geography of African countries.

Level 59

Dec 17, 2014

Hmm turns out Uganda is a lot farther north than I thought it was. As it also turns out, I'm terrible with African geography.

Level 71

Oct 31, 2020

Actually, if you know where Rwanda is, it's easy to find Uganda, right next to it, since they share the mountain gorillas in the area (and with DR Congo).

Level 22

Me but for Mozambique

Level 43

i know all of europe and south america also most of asia but once you go below libya you could give me 50 hours and i would still be typing 14 pathetic great quiz tho

It's easier for an American to do this then for someone for Uzbekistan or Romania or whatever.

So far the Martian using a toaster is most impressive.

Level 71

Sep 5, 2015

UK may be included not Great Britain (that's the island)

Level 64

Dec 18, 2016

Has this quiz been created on an island quiz because it is about Africa now?

Level 47

Dec 19, 2016

None of those countries are considered to be in Africa, they may own islands there but are all considered to be on different continents.

Level 71

Oct 31, 2020

Jetpunkers are REALLY good at geography.

Level 23

Jan 12, 2016

I am an Egyptian and honestly before taking this quiz, I had no idea about the location of most of the Countries. I knew just like the Arab countries and few scattered countries here and there. Of course South Africa is so easy. I know Asia better than Africa may be because we are closer to the Gulf... But, anyway thanks to this quiz now I know my continent.

Level 48

Aug 24, 2016

Good on ya!

Level 72

Feb 16, 2016

Way I remember the three eastern island nations: Seychelles nearest to Somalia, Comoros nearest to Cabinda ( little pocket of Angola sticking off Gabon and DRC) and Mauritus is NOT the nearest to Mozambique or Madagascar, but the MISCELLEOUS one.

Level 72

Feb 16, 2016

Comoros nearest to DRC or Congo. Not sure why I put Cabinda.

Level 62

Aug 31, 2017

SCAM Seychelles Comoros and Maruitius

Level 70

Nov 3, 2017

Unfortunately, the Quizmaster can't make the map of Africa more complicated, so this quiz will remain too easy for you.

Level 47

Mar 27, 2016

i am 700 year old dinosaur and did this wthout flinching and got -4 seconds left

Level 67

Sep 4, 2018

You did not do this without flinching.

Level 66

Oct 24, 2018

There's no need to lie about your age. We all know dinosaurs are at least 65,000,000 years old, but I'll bet you don't look a day over 59,999,999. ;-)

Level 60

Apr 11, 2016

I have always mixed Liberia and Sierra Leone, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau, and Côte d'Ivore and Ghana, but I finally got it :)

Level 60

Apr 10, 2020

Same here, but I found a really easy way to differentiate. Sierra Leone is the circular one, Guinea is the larger one, and Cote d'Ivoire is also the larger one of the two.

Level 56

May 28, 2022

Also, Guinea-Bissau is the wedge. You'll start to remember Liberia from older Countries of the World if you take them like Countries of the World in 1900 as they were founded a while back.

Level 60

Apr 29, 2016

I find it interesting that Guinea has the lowest percentage of correct guesses. I would think Sao Tome and Principe or Seychelles would have less.

Level 19

Feb 19, 2018

Yeah! I thought Sao Tome and Principe would be the least popular.

Level 56

May 28, 2022

I thought Mauritius / Comoros as I always get them confused since, unlike São Tomé and Príncipe, they are near other small island countries.

Level 55

Jun 7, 2016

I'm 14 years old and i got all with 3:20 left.

Level 48

Jun 12, 2016

The main reason I don't care for these quizzes is because I'm much more likely to get one wrong by misclicking a name than actually getting one wrong because I don't know it. :\

Level 69

Mar 24, 2020

True. They should make the buttons bigger.

Level 35

Jun 20, 2016

For what it's worth ...

Alphabetical, top to bottom: Niger/Nigeria, Zambia/Zimbabwe

MauritaNia-LaNd, MauritiuS-Sea

Level 48

Aug 24, 2016

Thanks! Zambia/Zimbabwe had been my last little hold out.

Level 49

Jun 24, 2016

So, I do better with the reverse of this (given the name, find the country). After four tries of doing this quiz as it's given, I still couldn't get all of them, so I finally just went down the list, clicked that country and the matching name, and got 100% with 3:20 left.

Level 20

Jul 31, 2016

100percent with no internet

Level 48

Aug 24, 2016

Finally, a quiz where you get to enter Nigeria before Niger! Looking at my stats I assume I took this one once before, coming away with *zero* out of 5 points. After taking the countries of the world quiz an average of 5 times a week for two months I got them all. What a difference.

Level 23

Sep 3, 2016

Hmm, should have concentrated on the quiz, but for some strange reason I was singing Toto - Africa to myself instead of doing what I was supposed to.

Level 68

Nov 3, 2016

Some day I'll remember all the countries of West Africa. But not this day.

Once you master this, you will have fun doing the Capitals of Africa Map Quiz.

Level 48

Jan 13, 2017

Third time taking this, I see using the short cuts on the Countries of the World quiz has made me lazy. 'Congo' gives credit for both countries there; here I didn't know which one which Republic of and which was Democratic Republic. 53/54.

Level 31

Jan 18, 2017

after 13 attempts I finally got this. I kept getting certain ones swapped around. Eg. Niger and Nigeria.

Level 18

Jan 29, 2017

I hate those kids on here that be like, "100% and I'm 8 years old" like boy what who cares do you want a medal or something

The official short name of the Republic of The Gambia is The Gambia, not Gambia. Calling it Gambia is just wrong, fix it, please.

If anyone is wondering they chose to call it The Gambia, stead of just Gambia, because Gambia sound too similar to Zambia and they did not want people confusing them both.

Jan 16, 2020

I used to have trouble with them as well. My strategy was to remember that Sierra Leone is shaped kind of like a circle, Guinea-Bissau was the smallest of the four, Liberia is the southernmost and Guinea is the one that touched all of the others. The two countries that I get mixed up on Benin and Togo.

One tip for people who have trouble distinguishing countries that come in 'pairs' like Niger and Nigeria, Zambia and Zimbabwe, Eswatini and Lesotho.

Work them down alphabetically. E.g. the northernmost country of the pair is the one that would come first in the alphabet.

I also have trouble distinguishing between Angola and Namibia, and that rule works too there.

Have fun quizzing!
