Given how easy this is, you should consider cutting the allotted time at least by half to make it a bit more of a challenge.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: putting ridiculously easy quizzes like this on the front page takes that opportunity of being featured away from other, more deserving quizzes.

For someone who doesn't have extensive knowledge of geography, this may be difficult. I'm not speaking for myself, just saying. Laugh all you want, but there are people who think Europe is a country and so on...

Level 59

Dec 22, 2016

That's because some people from the US kept just typing "America" and wondering why it wouldn't work.

Level 44

Apr 30, 2021

Well, it could be because in Europe as well as other continents, students are taught that North and South America are one continent, called "America."

Dec 13, 2015

Why does it have to be hard? There are plenty of difficult quizzes on this site!

Level 75

Dec 13, 2015

Agreed, but quizzes like this, with a 100% average, is taking "easy" to silly extremes. I feel like a baseballer swinging my bat at a volleyball, an archer two metres from the target, a highjumper leaping over a row of matchboxes. How about introducing a new scoring system to reflect the challenge values of quizzes, because 5 points for this quiz is so nuts, and so cheap, I just can't bear to do it. Here's my scoring suggestion: You currently give out 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 for getting the 100th, 80th, 65th, 50th and 25% percentile. How about, while keeping that basic structure, giving a MAXIMUM of 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points for where 0-20, 20-35, 35-50, 50-75 and 75-100% respectively get every question right? Have appropriate scale-downs below the maximums (eg for a 3-point-max quiz, it would be 3 for 100th percentile, 2 for 80th percentile, 1 for 65th percentile, and 0 for anything lesser)?

+24

Level 77

Dec 14, 2015

So what? I like to sometimes do these quizzes with my 6 year old daughter. This is just one more that I can take with her. If you feel the quiz is "beneath you" just don't take it.

Level 75

Dec 17, 2015

Easy quizzes are fine. But giving 5 points for easy quizzes, where almost everyone is getting them all correct, doesn't make sense. I'd welcome your opinion on the scoring suggestion above, which takes into account quizzes that are so easy virtually everyone is getting 100%. (You are incorrect to say that I think this quiz is "beneath" me. I don't.)

Level 77

Dec 18, 2015

Wait...you are taking these quizzes for the points? You mean, the points that don't matter? There isn't even a "top 100" list to see how you compare to anyone else. As far as you know, you have the most points on the site. I thought you were taking the quizzes...you know...for fun.

Level 64

Dec 19, 2015

As far as I know, it's DollarBill, plattitude, sillie, you (buck), kalbahamut, then Jerry. I agree that quizzes should be taken for fun, also, but I kinda think Jerry's trying to say that he takes the quizzes for fun (why else would he be on the site for almost 2 years now?), but a new point system should be incorporated, so people who work hard to get all answers at quizzes like this one are not treated with the same points as someone who got all correct on this quiz.

Level 75

Dec 20, 2015

Buck1017, most of the quizzes I've taken on this site since I've been active have been points-free. Thanks Quizzer - you understand me perfectly!

Quizzer6794, I doubt anyone knows all the 403 Dutch municipalities by heart, even when merely guessing them. The only way to get even half of those is to cheat.

Level 72

Mar 23, 2016

I've never paid attention to the levels, until Quizzer listed the top 6 as far as he (she?) is aware. Not sure where I was in relation to those same folks in Dec, but I'll admit I wasn't disappointed to see I'm right in the thick of them as of now. Better add this to my resume!

Level 78

Mar 23, 2016

Just for the heck of it, I have done some figuring regarding points and levels on JetPunk. As of today (3-23-16) there are 3,911 featured quizzes. So if you take every quiz and get a perfect score on them all you will have 19,555 points, good enough for level 74. Not important in the scheme of things, but it was fun to figure it out! And to those of you with a score of 74 I will now bow down before you... for I do not have the patience to master the Countries of the world in Spanish, French and German, or memorize the name of every school in the NCAA basketball tournament, or to learn the names of every character ever mentioned in Harry Potter!!!

Mar 24, 2016

eric - different languages quizzes won't earn you points, and two users have 74: DollarBill2208 & plattitude

Level 55

May 22, 2020

Look, we are all used to harder quizzes than the average person can ace. If we gave this quiz to an average person, they might be able to complete it, yes, maybe even without the map. But there are a LOT of younger people who are willing to take quizzes on this website. And they can't learn if they only get harder quizzes that only older people can take. These kinds of quizzes are helpful to the younger JetPunk population, which is a good thing. If this quiz is too easy, remember that there are DEFINITELY quizzes that match your skill level on this website!

Level 47

Wow this quiz has been featured for a whole day, and not a single "Oceania/Australia" gripe nor a comment about "North and South America are one continent." I'm sure that will change if/when this hits the front page! Not to mention the arbitrary socio-political division of Eurasia!!! ;)

OMG Australia is not a continent!

It is Australasia!

Level 47

Aug 14, 2020

I thought that , still guessed it right though but yeah you're correct.

Level 70

Mar 23, 2016

Australia is a country! Australasia and Oceania should be the only acceptable answers here.

Level 73

Mar 23, 2016

Completely agree

Level 35

Mar 23, 2016

I think Oceania is the only correct answer. Australasia is a region not a continent

Level 83

Sep 20, 2016

Oceania is quite clearly more of a region than Australasia. There is a fair and convincing argument to be made that New Guinea and Australia share a continent. But does Fiji share a continent with Australia? Does Tuvalu? By no definition I can think of, and yet Oceania typically includes all those places.

Level 51

May 21, 2020

Australia is a country! If it's a continent too, then where will countries like Fiji, Tonga, New Zealand, and the Solomon Islands be?

Level 20

Apr 5, 2016

Australia is both....at least that's what I learnt...

Level 40

Mar 23, 2016

Hahaha! I love it with all these english speakers arguing about what a "continent" is. Do like us Swedes, keep it between "världsdelar" and "kontinenter". (;

thank you for the 5 points.

Level 71

Mar 24, 2016

What is the problem with some of you quiztakers, if you want more difficult quizzes there are plenty in jetpunk, stop whingeing and cut out the "Too much time' ....whinge ......... whinge", just because you can type quickly does not mean you are cleverer or wiser or anything else, you just become part of a whingeing mob.

Level 76

Mar 24, 2016

I love it when you say whinge. In the US we are stuck with the boring whine.

Apr 29, 2016

This is so easy, I could even name the continents.

That was the idea.

Aug 8, 2016

So why does Greenland turn green when you type in North America? It is a territory of Denmark

Level 63

Sep 26, 2016

Geographically speaking it belongs to North America. Which is why it never appears on maps of Europe.

i feel bad for the 1% who didn't get africa, europe, and asia. also for the 2% who didnt get the americas and oceania for the 4% and antarctica the 7%. antarctica was actually discovered after uranus. Uranus:1780. Antarctica:1820. dont believe me? look it up.

Jan 6, 2017

Beat 100% of test takers!

Level 66

Apr 23, 2019

Yea not really, eventhough that is what it says. (Bugs me everytime i see it btw) if 100 people take a test and 90 got all of them right (and 10 dont) then all of those 90 people will get the you ve beaten 100% while in fact they have only beaten 10%.

you could just aswell say you ve been beaten by 90%, cause you didnt get a better score than them. If equalling means beating someone, you been beaten by a lot of people.

i guess it would be bad for the egos when getting a quiz 100% and then hearing you only beat 10% or something. I can envision the chaos and the tantrums now. So eventhough it is wrong, one has beaten others when they score exactly the same. I can see quizmasters reasoning now. You got to keep them content

Level 67

Jan 8, 2017

Nothing wrong with someone posting an easy quiz that kids could take and hope to complete in time. Not everything here has to be difficult. Complaining about it just makes you sound bitter and jealous that a quiz was featured when one of yours wasn't. Buck up, sissypants!

Level 52

Jan 8, 2017

I think the time should be 30 to 45 seconds.

Level 39

Jan 9, 2017

Time is fine. But Australia isn't a continent; Oceania (or Australasia) is.

I don't mind accepting Australia but these actual names should be allowed as well.

Croatia = Croatia - Cro =Atia

Atia = A_ia _=s= Asia

Central African Republic & South Africa

Central African Republic = African

African - n = Africa

South Africa = Africa

Ocean + ia = Oceania

European Union & Eurasia

European Union = European

European - an = Europe

Eurasia - Asia = Eur + ope = Europe

United States of America & American Samoa

United States of America = America

South + America = South America

North + America = North America

American Samoa = American

American - n = America

n + orth = north = North + America = North America

Samoa - amoa = S

Amoa = Am_a _ = --- = Ama

Do you know?

Ama > Father Filipino > English

o = S+o = So + uth = South + America = South America

Arctic Ocean = Arctic = A___ rctic_

_ = n, t, a, a = Antarctica

Oct 18, 2017

All the people complaining about points on this quiz annoy me. Isn't it nice to take a break every once in a while and still be able to raise your level while doing so? It's not like 90% of featured quizzes are this easy. Think about the people who are less skilled at geography on this geography-centric site. Don't they deserve the same amount of points we get for a quiz they might find challenging? Or should we make them feel worse because they only got 100% on a "one point quiz?"

well according to Wikipedia New Zealand is not part of the Australian continent so what continent is New Zealand part of????

Level 74

Aug 24, 2020

It's not. It's just a chain of islands. It's part of the region of Oceania, but a region is different from a continent. Australia is the continent itself, while New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga, etc. are just islands that are grouped with it for convenience.

Jan 16, 2018

In a simple point of view, if you distinguish Asia and Europe and North America with South America, you're only dealing with political continents, therefore you should use Oceania only.

If you speak about geological continents you'll have only Eurasia and one America and indeed in English Australia.

(And if you speak acording to the Olympic Comitee you have 5 continents with America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania).

As an entity? wth are you talking about? And Central America is part of the continent of North America.

Level 74

Aug 24, 2020

...yes, just like Europe, Asia, and Africa are just as much one continent because they are part of the same landmass. Or at least Europe and Asia are because the only seperation is some mountains and straits, instead of actual ocean.

Antarctica - means opposite Arctic in Greek, which in turn derives from the Greek, "bear" after the constellation which could be seen from the Arctic.

Africa - Roman province

Asia - Alternative name for Persia found in Herodotus

Europe - Europa, mythological Queen of Crete.

Oceania - Only continent linked by oceans. Australia came from Latin meaning "southern."

North and South America - Named after explorer Amerigo Vespucci

This quiz is so easy I thought that I'd teach you something!

Level 67

Level 52

Nov 13, 2019

North and South America should be considered one continent, as should Europe and Asia. We could name the first continent America and the latter Eurasia. Memorizing the names of seven continents is far too much information for the human mind to absorb and regurgitate on command.

Level 83

Nov 13, 2019

Why split off Africa from Eurasia then?

Level 60

Mar 19, 2022

Well, you could make the distinction that the Suez canal counts as a continent boundary because it's a complete cut through the land at sea level, while the Panama "canal" is mostly a big lake at around 85 feet elevation.

Level 54

May 18, 2021

Quizmaster! Australia as a continent term only contains the countries of Australia, Papua New Guinea, and portions of Indonesia.^[1] However, Oceania refers to the geographical region that includes the countries mentioned previously, as well as New Zealand and all of other the micronations and island-countries in the pacific.^[2] Because you included these other island nations as part of the continent of Australia in this quiz, you are incorrect. National Geographic, Google, the World Atlas, and many other sites disagree with your choice. Put Oceania in brackets or remove the micronations and island-countries as part of the continent of Australia because that is WRONG!

Level 35

Oct 26, 2021
