The issues have been addressed. Now all micronations and nations which are too small to see have a ring around them to show where they are. If you think there's any that should be added let me know - remember you can zoom the map too!

Does Barbados have a ring? If it had a ring I didn't notice it. Maybe add tails to all the rings? ;)

Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe that's how the system works: I had both Dominica and Dominican Republic (which I got both from typing Dominica) as well as Sudan and South Sudan. Would be interesting if it always generates it that way and asks for connected names like both North + South Korea or both Congos. Or Niger and Nigeria? Great quiz anyway.

Every time an island in Oceania is highlighted, I type every single one until it gets filled in.

Level 60

Apr 12, 2021

Me too because I can't be bothered to learn the locations? Except Nauru and Palau, which I sort of know, because of the Australian refugee scandal in the news a few years ago. And Tuvalu, because the stars on their flag are in the same configuration as the islands, which is just next level flag design lol

I don't think this map isn't precise enough to pick out the smaller nations in the eastern Caribbean - St Vincent, Grenada, St Lucia and the French islands of Martinique and Guadalupe can all fall in the same circle.

Hello, Stewart. Yesterday, Jetpunk was inoperated. Why? Did have any change on the site? Can you explain me?

Why do Jetpunk quizzes have such a hard time with French Guiana?

It never accepts the answer then says I have it right, and to top it, marks it as France!

Level 68

Mar 1, 2021

Maybe because French Guiana is a departement of France? Would you classify Hawaii as a separate country just because it's far from the U.S.?

Level 57

Jan 17, 2022

I really do not think this is a true randomizer. Too many times countries that are touching each other appear on the map for this to be truly random.

Level 68

Jan 17, 2022

There's 317 country borders in the world. That's an average of roughly 1.5 per country. If we round up and assume every country borders 2 others then:

Given we're choosing 20 random countries here, the chance none of them share a border would be about 54%. So even with this very liberal and rough approach, we see that half the time bordering countries should show up.

However, now let's account for the 40 countries without borders, so we get 156 countries with borders. And now our % becomes (assuming 4 / 20 countries are borderless) 16.8%. So actually even with these liberal benefits (in your favour) we get that 1 in 6 times you play this quiz should have all borderless countries.

In reality, you'd probably be looking at more like 1 in 20 times given if you got Russia, China or France that immediately removes 10+ countries.

Overall: this quiz is truly random, and humans don't think true randomness is random at all.

Level 68

Jan 17, 2022

To elaborate on the last point, if you toss a coin 100 times, would you expect 50 heads and 50 tails? On average, yes. However, you'd also expect a string of heads or tails lasting 5 or more tosses, getting HTHTHTHT... etc. would be very unrandom!

Level 65

Jan 21, 2022

These comments interested me a lot, So I wrote a blog on the chance that you should get two bordering countries. Spoiler alert: Stewart's estimate was very, very close

Level 65

Mar 25, 2022

Fun Fact: Apple had to unrandomize their shuffle button in Music, because people thought it wasn't random. So they made it seem more random but making it not random. People have an idea of what's random and forget that random can also include things that don't seem random.

Could "Czech Republic" be added as a correct response for Czechia? From what I can find, while the country is known as Czechia in common parlance, it is still the Czech Republic in an official capacity. This isn't quite the same as Swaziland/Eswatini where the former is completely removed.

Level 68

Jun 28, 2023

Both names are already accepted, and will continue to be. Likewise Eswatini and Swaziland also accept both names.

And in fact this quiz still uses Czech Republic even!
