This was originally at one minute before it was featured, and Quizmaster extended the time to 90 seconds. I tried cutting the time limit back, but he said that “it makes it a typing test and we have those already”. However, I did make a 15 second sprint version of this quiz, which you can take here.
Good quiz overall but Palestine should count since it's a UN observer state, the same status as Vatican City and that counts so why doesn't Palestine count?
The current 90 seconds seems like a good amount of time to me. I'm on my phone, so I can never type as quickly as on a computer. I moved quickly and steadily, only pausing once for a brief brain fart at R. The others, I had a country in mind without stopping. Still took me 1:03.
Life hack: Type “Burma” for B. Then it will also fill in Myanmar in the M slot. And do the same with “Congo” for C so it fills “Rep. of the Congo” for the R slot.
I finished with only 3 seconds left. I don't understand the people that say the time is too long. Who cares - if you finish, you know your time that you finished in, so why make it shorter for people that type slower or are on their phones vs. computers? Once you're done, you're done - it doesn't matter if the quiz is 30 seconds or 3 minutes.
Request: shorter timer please!
