Couldn't finish within the time limit either. Yet I kind of like it when you have to push your brain to rush and think fast - for me usually not beneficial to finding answers though. Good quiz!
Is there something in your throat? Countries typically go by their abbreviated version, which would be Micronesia. If we had to abide by the FSM, we'd be stuck with RF for Russia, PRC for China, and a myriad of others.
I think there was a follow-up comment to Quizzer above mine, saying something both disparaging and ridiculous, prompting me to pretend that whatever was said about me made sense.
There are about 1,000 angry Dutch guys who are roaming around the internet ready to argue with you! Holland is the inaccurately-called name for the Netherlands.
According to the Oxford Dictionary of English, 'Holland' can be another name for the Netherlands, or a former province of the Netherlands, comprising the coastal parts of the country. It is now divided into North Holland and South Holland. I would say it's a colloquial term, not necessarily accurate.
And yet we don't translate Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, Ecuador, San Marino, Sierra Leone, etc. Heck, "Timor" isn't English either; it's a variety of the Malay word for "east." Why not just translate it the whole way and call it "East East"?
Same here, but that doesn't make you a fool. That's the only one I missed. Was about to write East Timor when time ran out. It's name in English always gets me.
Needs more time. 30 sconds minimum. I got most within a few seconds but i still had only 25 seconds to go back and look again at those I didn't get. Great idea for a quiz though
I guess I didn't pay close enough attention to how much time is allotted. It ran out before I was even 3/4ths of the way through, even though I knew some of the last ones.
But Germany hasn't requested that other countries also call them "Deutschland." Why is it such a big deal to call the country what it has asked to be called? We don't insist on calling Costa Rica "Rich Coast," do we?
I'm sure most people who live at or near the Río de la Plata would want other countries to call the area 'Río de la Plata', but English speakers tend to use the term 'River Plate'.
Georgia is a actually transcontinental country, located partially in Eastern Europe and partially in Southwest Asia, but I believe most of its population and surface area is located in Asia, so I would call it an Asian country.
please review the classification of central america, like jamaica and panama in north america. Traditionally north america only includes canada, mexico and US.
Traditionally, it is part of North America. The Americas have two continents, north and south. The region Central America fits into North America. Kind of like how Western Europe is part of the continent of Europe
Not an accurate test of knowledge but of typing accuracy and speed. Had to memorize the countries by redoing the test until I could type fast enough. I figured out all the countries easily. Just could not read the line then type it fast enough.
Like the many many other people in tjis comment section I agree it definitely needs more time. 30sec might do it allready.
<> I knew all but two immediately without thinking, when I was dine writing those I wanted to look at the two I skipped, but I didnt even have time to think! It was typing..time up..
Could not come up with an H in Europe. I thought if Holland, which I obviously knew was wrong, then my mind started going to random H countries and cities, like Haiti, Honduras, and Hyderabad. And then it was Hungary - a country I've actually been to 🤦♀️
This may be true, but the general practice on Jetpunk is to use country names as they appear on the "Countries of the World" quiz, which lists the country as East Timor.
A little bit of Erica by my side.
A little bit of Monaco in my life
A little bit of Eritrea by my side
"Wouldn't England Count?"
