Great quiz, I nominate this for a star! How about making a variation that only shows up the correctly answered blocks (just solid blocks of colour) so it's a sort of build-a-batch-of-pixels quiz?

Portugal sticks out a bit into the square to it's left. Some others that are a bit less visible are Somalia sticking into the two squares to its right and CAR peeks into the square above it a bit. Also, why include France, US, and Netherlands in the lesser antilles square but not the UK? Why not St Pierre and Miquelon by Canada? or the Canary Islands? Just out of curiousity. Do the other territories in the lesser Antilles have different status from these? idk

Yes. Those are all part of their respective countries (e.g. Guadeloupe has the same status as Ile-de-France). The British Overseas Territories aren't part of the UK.

Andaman & Nicobar islands should be on the map. That'd reveal one more square with half of Sumatra for India.

it's a little bit off-putting to start typing e.g. russia but the initial r fills the water squares so you get ussia - maybe only country names should fill in the water squares? or they just autofill without having to type anything at all?

Love it, thanks.

By my count, 27 out of 53 water squares are in the Pacific, and the remaining 26 are "elsewhere" (Atlantic & Indian, plus 1 in the Arctic). The Pacific really is a monster, and frankly I find it surprising that it contains as many islands as it does.

nice quiz! When I zoomed in for the last Gabon piece, I hovered my mouse over the adjacent square and saw Gabon in the list of answers. Not sure if the answers should be visible before time runs out. Other than that, great quiz!

Can you accept SA as a type-in for South Africa please?
Stewart
+1
Level 68
Jul 5, 2022
Nobody calls it that, and it you did then so many others would be disturbed when typing it (Samoa, San Marino, Saint x3 etc...).

It's been argued both ways multiple times (including ZSA), but we're not just adding acronyms to save time, only when they're actually used irl.

As a cricket fan, I see SA and RSA used quite frequently for the record. I'm neutral on adding a type-in, but it's not like it's some rare neologism.

hmm might be that my brain wasn't really working, but I thought I had to guess which countries were in the blue squares illuminated at the start...

After one square I did get the meaning, and thought no way am I gonna make this in time, but I did manage to get them all. Might have done a similar one before, because suddenly it dawned on me to go for fiji. But if that is the case, it is even more worrysome I did not get the quiz's intention at first haha

I guess what threw me off is "squares with no countries are not illuminated" but those are the ones that actually áre illuminated. It should have read, squares with no countries in them are already illuminated
