Challenge - complete with fewest letters typed (barring 'accepted spelling errors', however accepted abbreviation, e.g. "UK" are allowed).

My best - 73 (Malta (5), Iceland (7), UK (2), Spain (5), Italy (5), France (5), Austria (6), Germany (7), Sweden (6), Serbia (6), Greece (6), Latvia (6), Moldova (7))

Set to un-timed to practice.

Jun 23, 2019
You need to count the number of letters in "France" and "Austria" again. This brings your total to 75 - for a while I thought this was the best but you can actually do it in 74 under your rules. Unless there are any more abbreviations I am unaware of, this is definitely the best.
+1
Level 67
Jun 23, 2019
Now looked at the type-ins on the quiz - 74 is definitely the best. Though actually this doesn't take into account FamousRob's idea... I may have to rethink this.
+1
Level 67
Jun 23, 2019
OK you can get 72 if you are allowed to click in the box for free on order to type UKraine. But this would take more time than typing two letters, so I think my 74 is the morally correct answer.

Level 50
Jul 10, 2020
Since this is actually 75 letters (France and Austria), you could get it down to 70 letters. Just write Germany down somewhere and copy it. Then paste it (Ctrl + v) which is only 2 letters instead of 7.

In this quiz, I count St Martin as their border. It's exactly the same for Gibraltar and Spain.

Level 75
Mar 15, 2017
But this quiz is about countries in Europe - even the map matches the instructions - and St Martin/Sint Maarten in in the Americas. I think it would be more accurate to leave out a Netherlands-France border from this quiz.
+1
Level 53
Mar 16, 2017
@Jerry928 Although your point is totally valid, I would argue that both countries are located in Europe (forgetting overseas territories) and there is still that border between those two countries located in Europe. And as you have obviously noticed, there is still a 'raging' argument about St Martin's 'urge' to be in the 'Countries Bordering France' quiz. I think because the instructions don't refer to overseas territories (for now!) we should leave it as it is unless I get many more arguing a similar point.

"there is still that border between those two countries located in Europe". Where is the border in Europe? The only place they border is , by technicality, in North America.

Level 83
Mar 22, 2018
I'm going to argue against that because while France borders the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Netherlands featured in this quiz is only one of the constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, thus France does not border the Netherlands. It borders St. Martin/The Kingdom of the Netherlands.

From Wikipedia:

Kingdom of the Netherlands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the sovereign state. For the constituent country with the same name, see Netherlands.

When Italy is filled in, why aren't San Marino and Vatican City also filled in?
+1
Level 26
Aug 24, 2022
If you type a country bordering Italy (that’s not San Marino or Vatican City) Italy would be filled in, but those 2 countries wouldn’t be filled in because that would mean there is 2 borders (e.g. France borders Italy, Italy borders Vatican City.) So you would have to directly type Italy for that to also be filled in.

St Martin is an overseas collectivity of France, which is effectively a colony. St Martin is also not part of the Country of the Netherlands. So while the Kingdom of the Netherlands borders French territory, the Netherlands doesn't border France.
