Evil aliens have decided to kill everyone on Earth! Fortunately, they've given you two minutes to save as many as you can. All you have to do is name a country to save everyone in it.
Each "answer" correct corresponds to 1 million people saved
Countries with fewer than 1 million people are rounded up
2020 population estimates according to Worldometers
it's so laggy for me that it's unplayable. something is very unoptimized in the code, because everytime i type something in my cpu goes crazy and the tab freezes for >10 seconds.
The gray squares that turn green are what is meant in description as "answers" - each square represents 1million people (rounded) and the answer boxes are in country order by population. (you should notice that a different number of squares turn green for different countries)
Somehow that is fascinating :) 3 quite distinct countries, well spread out as well, I wonder how the alliances will be, and well, everything. Fascinating new world to think about :)
Let's call it Denjatai (or Jadentai, Dentaija, Jataiden, Taidenja, Taijaden sort of ordered by preference, though it keeps changing the longer I look at it.. but yea I think this is the order I'm going with.)
Interestingly Taiwan has 4 times more people as Denmark (and are in the same size range) and Denmark is 4 times as big as Jamaica (andhas twice the population 5.8 and 2.9 mill)
I find it interesting that 12% saved the Vatican 801 people (all probably old and infertile) whereas only 1% saved Burkina Faso 20,903,273 people .......... weird!
Well, you can say this, but before featuring, you need not to name countries less than a million. But after QM featured it, he changed so that you have to name every country.
Honestly there are a lot of things that bug me about this one.. description and lag being the main things. I like the general idea, execution, not so much. Sorry.
I got an obscene amount of lag when I put in countries with big population like China. That allowed me to basically freeze the clock while I kept hammering out big countries. I saved 98% of the world from aliens by manipulating time itself. I'm like Dr. Strange!
The overlords of this quiz are obviously aware of my dislike of humanity... I can't play the quiz without it crashing!? Tried 4 times and each time got as far as Indi.... Game Over! 😱
Yes extreme lag here as well, unfortunately unlike some that didnt get me an amazing score ( by having an infinite amount of time to type answers) because I make typos quite a lot and if you can't see it you can't correct it. So it's either waiting after each country or taking the gamble and then seeing strings of 5 countries (several times..).
Apparently there was a map previously, did it lag aswell? If it didn't I don't see why it has changed to the current form. (It nostalgically reminds me of defragmenting the pc, which I as a little girl enjoyed, I would sit and stare at the screen for hours and watch all the lines and blocks haha (think it took about 1,5 hour on average and I'd watch the whole thing...). But regardless of lag, I am not sure if this form fits the quiz theme.)
Maybe have each country be represented by a red dot, according to population size (so bigger populations gets bigger dots), so it represent a "splat" and have them turn green or removed when guessed, you don't see the countries in an obvious manner (no outlines), just big red splats all over the map, so it does not really give away the countries, and it hints a little to the untimely demise of the people, without getting too gory ;) Though it in my opinion would be better if the dots weren't perfectly round, but a bit more well splatter form ;)
I saved 7.08 billion people (91%). It helps if you remember the countries by population. Start with China, India, USA, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia, Mexico, Japan, Ethiopia, Philippines.
The use of the word “answer” is confusing, but you can get multiple answers for one country. For example, the USA is worth around 330 answers, which corresponds to 330,000,000 people (330x1,000,000).
The problem with this quiz, is that there are certain countries that I would purposefully save last, so even though they account for some 330 million people, and gave me an easy boost - they certainly weren't a priority for me.
Due to several thousands of answers, it do lags a bit. And, the time taken to acceptance of answer has nothing to do with A, as the top 4 countries by population, all ends in A, India, China, United States of America and Indonesia and they have several answers in SVG, thousand plus for India and China. But, if you try some smaller countries like Australia, Armenia, Algeria, they wouldn't lag.
Thanks SWAT! (•‿•) The map was removed by Quizmaster and he replaced it with an svg that has several grey boxes and each of these box represent 1million people.
I think no country should have 1 billion people or more. It's too many people for a single country. Ridiculous. So, I didn't save China and India. I had to follow my principles.
I really like this idea, because when I did quizzes before where I had to name all the countries, I imagined this kind of scenario where everybody living in a country I didn't name died, and the whole world was watching, with so many people anxious about me listing their country, and a bunch of sighs of relief every time I listed a new country.
(Unfortunately, I didn't do very well on this one! Two minutes is short.)
Saved 77%. Love the idea. Really hard for me though cause I get countries by geographical area so I have to do 5-6 countries in the area before moving on xD
I don't understand this one at all. If the purpose is to save the most people, then this becomes a countries with highest population quiz. Or am I missing something? (Anyway, all you Samoans out there can thank me for saving your bacon.)
Yeah it's basically a fast-typing quiz and a highest population quiz. But a lot of the appeal comes from people saving their own country and/or letting others they dislike die.
From the cynic's view, if this was real, some people would probably just save their own country so they could live it up with the resources from the rest of the world - assuming the aliens are willing to share. I'm not sure I would trust evil aliens to follow through with promises.
The countries I want to save have lowest percentage. It is impossible to name all countries in only 2 minutes. I have managed 69%. Congratulations to anybody that can get all. Brilliant quiz but can you add on an extra minute or two?
This should be longer especially as the graphics for the bigger countries takes a while to download so you are left hanging which wastes time. I suggest 5 or 6 minutes esp as you have another quiz on here that is to name 3 countries beginning with J in 2 minutes.
Managed to save Sierra Leone and Bahrain but forgot South Korea and Chile... Great quiz though, saved 6856/7811 or 88% of the world and I beat 97.7% of test takers! I can't say I'm too unhappy with that
Do not forget to tell how many people you saved!
Quizmaster will be very happy to hear that Belgium did not make the cut
What is Belgium?Rip Africa :(

I liked it more when you could see the countries
As it is written, you could only save 196 million.
It says all you have to do is type a country and each correct answer saves 1 million people..
I feel worst for the residents of Tunis. I was just an 'ia' away from saving their country, but sadly couldn't save the city.
Btw, I can't see the map, all I can see is a grey box.... 😅😅
For some reason, though, Maldives jumped into my head, so I was one of only 3% of people (currently) saving them. :)
(Unfortunately, I didn't do very well on this one! Two minutes is short.)
Beats 99.9%
Used a python bot I created. (using pyautogui module, typewrite command). Saved everyone in 5 seconds.
0% people got 100% as well!
New record! :)
However I think only the first attempt is considered for that. Did it the normal way initially.
xD
Scoring
You scored 4534/7811 = 58%
This beats or equals 16.2% of test takers
The average score is 5341
Your high score is 4534
I'm happy to have saved 82%, though I feel bad for leaving the people of Bangladesh, Turkey, South Korea behind.
(saved Gabon and Eritrea somehow though)
And is it okay if I make a similar quiz? If not, it's fine. It doesn't relate to population :D
And if you want to, yes you can make the quiz :)
If you want to work with me let me know :P
I'll make sure to credit you aswell!
72% This beats or equals 49.9% of test takers
