Another great quiz, but please update the South African Coat of Arms. The current one can be found here:

Tips: Be good at flags. Learn languages for the names. If you speak English, look at the names on some of the seals.

Least known one I got was Benin (though admittedly it was a few tries in, maybe 3 or 4– seeing the leopards, the ship, and the fort I just starting trying things on the West African coast). The least known one I got immediately was Seychelles (the tortoise was a hint for me). The most known one I missed was Mozambique, but I actually knew it was Mozambique (and it says Mozambique), I guess I just spent a long time looking at it and forgot to actually respond. The most known one I missed AND didn't know was Sweden.

I agree. It definitely needs more time! After looking at each coat of arms, and finding the obvious ones (which took up almost 90% of the time for me), I would have needed to look at at least sixty more remaining, trying to guess.

Or perhaps do them in batches, either a series of separate quizzes or one that is randomized (with like 40 per quiz). Of course and ultra big quiz is justified once in a while too.

Took me a while to remember what sorting I used here, but I did. It's actually in the most guessed order from the Countries of the World quiz.

So in a way the difficulty increases as you progress.

yes at one point I noticed the first few ones I got were quite "big names" so realised there most be some sort of order (size and population had crossed my mind too). This helped me actually because it made me think of the wellknown countries I had not guessed yet. Though it did not manage to get me Italy.. The cogwheel made me think of Africa (Algeria, Angola, Botswana, Mozambique, Rwanda. All use cogwheels) and several of the African countries have a star too

There are way too many countries that have their own name on their coat of arms. You should blur out all these countries’ names on their coat of arms because it makes the quiz unnecessarily too much easier and defeats the point of the quiz.

There's a mobile geography app that does this beautifully, with full coat of arms appearing after correct answer. Though it goes so far to scrub the full name (Republic etc) in all languages.

yuzhuk

Level 58
Feb 13, 2023
Yeah, I know, 11 countries have their names in Arabic. I tried removing it, but my knowledge of Arabic is nil, even with Google translate I couldn't do it. And removing all Arabic text is overkill.

So I guess it'll remain a bonus for knowing a second script.

If you really wanted to, you can find the official names on the wikipages, then put it into google translate to see the order of the words, then compare the words to see which is the nation. In Mauritania, it's the third arabic word (the leftmost) (الموريتانية)

So it seems that the names of countries were originially visible. Does anyone know how this affects the average?

In other words, does replacing the images reset the average score? I got 3 points so not sure if I'm average or a secret ace ;)

yuzhuk

Feb 13, 2023
I don't think it was reset. The average is 90 now, and the majority of the results are pre-update. I suppose it will slowly drift to the new average, but it's hard to say which direction, because the time was also increased along with deleting the names.

Kazakhstan takes the price of best coat of arms! Mongolia is pretty epic too! Sudan gets a mention because it is intimidating. I've always liked the Ukrainian one and the Iran one is pretty clever. And there are honorable mentions for ones with cool animals, like kangaroo+emu and the dude with his dragon ox and eagle (Iceland). There are several more cool ones (like the originality of Bhutan), but can't name them all. (clearly I couldn't haha, scored below average, thought I did reasonably ok)
