People seem to have trouble with this quiz. I aced it on my first try. On these particular kinds of quizzes I seem to have a fairly high aptitude--but I sure suck at other kinds of quizzes.

Here's my strategy for this:

1. immediately write Iraq

2. randomly pick a clue in column #2 and solve it

3. randomly pick a clue in column #3 and solve it

4. randomly pick a clue in column #1 and solve it

5. Repeat #2 - #4

***Rules:

- Never spend more than 1 second thinking unless it's the last country

- Write your strategy in the comments as the time runs out if you really can't think of France.

I've found that this happens quite often. I think when doing these quizzes, you don't normally think "Well, let's see, which country do I live in" first. Every country (or city) becomes just an item equal to all the others, Whether you're living in it - or have lived there - or happen to just have been there on holiday becomes entirely irrelevant. It's like doing a mathematical equation that has the solution of, say, 80. Of course you know the number 80, and maybe your granddad had just turned 80. That won't get you to the solution any faster, though. You still have to work it out.

i typed panama, just to see if it works: it showed up as 'Canada'.

I other quizzes i type 'holland' instead of 'Netherlands' because it's shorter and usually replaces it in the same sort of way.

I think Azerbaijan is easier because there is a Z as the second letter. That narrows it down quite a bit for guessing. if the x was one of the given letters for Mexico it would have been much easier for basically the same reason.

Tough quiz, sucked a lot of people in just because they think they know the names of the countries, but 196 possibilities and you give 3 letters of a 7 letter word.

If you get the obvious ones you are doing very well in my opinion.

I disagree. The statistics aren’t affected with untimed, it’s good practice to figure it out, and that doesn’t stop you from seeing if what you struggled with lines up with the stats in the answers.
