Level 48

Jul 19, 2021

I assure you Abkhazia and Transnistria are not in Oceania, my friend.

+10

Level 28

Aug 25, 2021

the closest body of water to Abkhazia and Transnistria is the black sea, and if you've never seen a map, the black sea is a little bit far from oceania if you ask me

*Very far

Level 76

Aug 8, 2018

Or someone knocks on their door, or the phone rings, or the cat jumps on the keyboard, or their baby wakes up crying, or they have a sudden stomach pain, or they spill coffee on their computer, or their boss walks in, or there's a power failure, or their dog has an accident on the carpet, or their spouse gives them "the twinkle eye" look and they realize they have something better to do...

Or their internet might be broken down by a grandma

Level 66

Apr 2, 2020

Or are scatterbrained and forgot what they were doing. (it only takes one second to look up ;) hard to forget something while you are doing it, but that split second you attention is somewhere else, can be all it takes :) )

Loud noise, someone asking something, something said on tv/radio. Or drifting away when you think so hard you close your eyes :P Like creature that lives in the ocean with a unicron like tusk, ahh unicorns... could they be able to swim? and would they doggypaddle? ow I ve seen a dog with a fake horn dressed as a unicorn once. Etc :)

I am not that ad(h)d but even I can imagine that, so Imagine what could happen with people that dó have trouble focussing.

Level 38

Oct 29, 2017

I bet that essay never got done.

Level 77

If it was about the countries of Oceania HatFlap could count that as research...

Level 31

Could you add a map to this?

Level 57

Dec 1, 2014

Level 37

Aug 14, 2020

3:37 to spare... ;)

Level 21

Dec 22, 2014

Micronesia is officially Federated States of Micronesia. You also forgot about Tahiti and French Polynesia.(They are the same country just so you know.)

+22

Level 82

Jan 15, 2015

You pointed out yourself that Tahiti is French and not a country.

Level 66

Jul 22, 2018

add to that the fact that Tahiti is an island in French Polynesia.

Level 45

Dec 23, 2017

This is Countries of oceania quiz....so tahiti doesn't count because they aren't a country

Level 46

Jan 18, 2021

It says Fed. S. Micronesia (which stands for federated states of micronesia in case you couldnt figure that out)

Tahiti is not a country

French polynesia literally has french in it's name.

Level 40

Mar 20, 2021

his comment is 6 years old you melt, the quizmasters obviously changed it

Level 49

Jan 12, 2022

We say Micronesia to save time plus its just called that and btw those are French territories (not Micronesia)

Level 11

Feb 18, 2015

you forgot indonesia.

+14

Level 33

May 13, 2021

after 6 years i hope you finally learned that Indonesia is asian

Level 68

Oct 3, 2022

...You do know that Indonesia is transcontinental, right? The continental boundary doesn't go straight through the island, the entire island of New Guinea is in Oceania.

Level 11

Feb 18, 2015

...And Phillipines.

+79

Level 59

Mar 22, 2017

And Cyprus...

This has got to be one of the greatest comments of all time!

Level 59

Dec 27, 2017

Thank you ;-)

Level 37

Nov 21, 2018

Cyprus is plunked everywhere else ... Europe, Asia, Middle East, why not Oceania?

Level 66

Apr 2, 2020

The Federate states of Cyprus that is.. If you are gonna adress the location, you might as well get the name correct ;)

Level 69

Apr 9, 2020

Let's add Malta and Iceland! Maybe also Madagascar and Seychelles and Mauritius! How about all Pacific and Indian Ocean countries?

Level 54

Apr 11, 2021

How did they forget japan or brazil?

Level 26

Aug 10, 2021

Japan and Brazil are not a part of Oceania. Japan is Asia and Brazil is South America. Btw I'm Australian

Level 35

Oct 28, 2021

Cyprus isnt oceania. Its the capital city of Anatarctica which is a state of Sri jayawardenapura Kotte

Level 57

Jan 28, 2022

...the Federal Democratic Republic Of The Equatorial South Cyprian Emirates...

Level 21

Feb 1, 2018

Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, etc. are part of Southeast Asia, not Oceania.

Level 54

Apr 11, 2021

its a joke

Level 11

Feb 18, 2015

......And Malaysia.....

+11

Level 52

Apr 6, 2015

Indonesia, Phillippines, and Malaysia are all considered to be part of Asia.

Level 52

Apr 5, 2015

Great quiz! Might I suggest you add FSM (Federated States of Micronesia) as an acceptable form of Micronesia? Also PNG for Papua New Guinea.

Level 38

Jun 13, 2015

and NZ for New Zealand. JUST A MINI PET HATE OF MINE!!

Level 52

Dec 15, 2016

Agree. I'm a Kiwi and we often refer to is as NZ; so let's bring it in like some of the others!

Level 68

Dec 25, 2017

I am happy to type in New Zealand.

Level 69

Apr 9, 2020

I am not.

Level 76

Jan 13, 2021

Yeah. And Oz for Oz.

Level 31

Apr 15, 2018

oh whatever i can see this never ending.... soon it'll be just type in the first 2 letters of a country's name and that'd be fine... we've got to hold the line somewhere yuh

Level 76

Aug 8, 2018

Tell that to the USA, UK, UAE, PNG, and CAR. I have no problem adding NZ or FSM to that list. It's not as though we'd be confusing them with something else.

Level 76

May 1, 2015

Can't believe I forgot Fiji. My daughter was supposed to spend a week there years ago on her way to study in Australia, but they had a coup and officials wouldn't let the tourists leave the airport. She was mad, I was thankful.

Level 36

Jun 7, 2017

Level 57

Oct 13, 2015

I would have preferred a map with this quiz. I can never remember which island group is which and this would help.

Nov 2, 2015

Only 11? Maybe you'll grow out of your Man Utd fandom then!

Level 67

Jul 8, 2021

I'm assuming by their username now, they did...

Level 87

Nov 7, 2015

Could cut the time by half to make it a bit more challenging.

Level 71

Jan 23, 2016

The main point of General Knowledge quizzes is to test your knowledge, not your typing ability. There are plenty of typing tests if you want a typing challenge. Try challenging your knowledge with other quizzes that you may not be so familiar with.

Level 15

Aug 7, 2017

Yeah. I got it with 3:23 left so

Level 66

Nov 14, 2015

3.28, could have done it faster though

Level 52

Dec 2, 2015

please accept "federated states of micronesia" since that is what it is called.

+10

Level 71

Dec 2, 2016

Don't tell me you typed 'Federated States of Micronesia' instead of Micronesia!

Level 71

Oct 6, 2018

And I suppose you always type 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'........ instead of UK in jetpunk quizzes!

Level 60

Jun 9, 2020

Well. I wrote "Papua New Guinea" for the longest time and was always annoyed why simply "Papua" isn't accepted. Until I found out I can use "PNG" instead and my life was changed forever. :-D

Level 65

Jan 23, 2016

oh hi quizmaster, can you add a type-in for kiribati, i heard that its also known as kiribus. thx!

Level 68

Dec 25, 2017

Kiribati is pronounced "kiribas". But not spelt like that.

Level 22

Oct 5, 2016

2:36

Level 58

Nov 20, 2016

Can you accept Kiribus for Kiribati, and Federates States of Micronesia for Micronesia?

Level 44

Dec 2, 2016

I believe Kiribus is either poor spelling or not English (although phonetically correct). Federated States of Micronesia, with a D at the end of Federated, however, I'm with you on.

Level 60

Level 31

Dec 23, 2017

Yes! I got Nauru with 20 sec to spare! First time one hundo percent!

Level 73

Dec 23, 2017

While I'm all in favour of anti-officiousness with 'official names' and that (Peoples' Republic of China), it is a JetPunk tradition to comment in anger about the omission of such tediosities and I feel I am obliged to complain over the branding of the Federated States of Micronesia as merely the unassuming 'Micronesia'

Level 32

Dec 23, 2017

13/14 Missed Palau

Level 22

May 31, 2018

You do not know how long it took me to memorize all of these. Before JetPunk, I didn't even know half of these countries existed. The 100% I got feels better than the 10% I used to get. Now off to the Caribbean Islands.

100% with 2:56 to spare!

Level 50

Aug 8, 2018

I enjoy the quizzes but I really come here for the comments...

Great stuff everyone! Keep up the good work!

And since we're here anyway: Shouldn't French Polynesia be included? Or Guam? Shouldn't "Federated States of Micronesia" be accepted? Should we not introduce NZ as an acceptable abbreviation for New Zealand? What about Palestine (just, in general)?

Level 76

Aug 8, 2018

I wondered why I couldn't get 'Federated States of Micronesia' to work, then I found it is because it had been mislabelled as 'Micronesia'. This is as bad as mislabelling the United States of America as 'America' or mislabelling South Africa as 'Africa'. The Federated States of Micronesia is not the only country in Micronesia, and it is not even the biggest.

Level 24

Aug 30, 2018

All with 3:33 left! 27 seconds, best score on a quiz yet!

Level 38

Nov 12, 2018

How many people know that you could type PNG instead of Papua New Guinea?

Level 32

Dec 8, 2018

You can write just New Guinea too

Level 66

Apr 2, 2020

Anybody that has been on the site for more than 2 months? (assuming they don't do exclusively sports quizzes or something).

I have always typed new guinea though, and dont think that will change, I wont ever use roc and the other east asian ones either. Takes me longer to think of the correct abreviation than to write the word. (I do use UAE UK and USA ow and CAR)

Level 21

Apr 20, 2019

I got them all with 2:47 remaining!

The time should be reduced. Too easy

Level 28

Jun 9, 2020

For all Earthlings out there wondering what borders follow this quiz. This quiz follows what JetPunk considers being the borders of continents. In Oceania, it does not follow the Weber Line, nor the Wallace Line, neither the Lydekker Line, that means that Papua New Guinea is Oceanic but Indonesia and Timor-Leste are not. France, the US, the UK and Japan are not transcontinental so they are not Oceanic. And, of course, no territory is considered a country.

Level 68

Oct 3, 2022

On Jetpunk, continental boundaries always follow country borders. I find it a bit frustrating, really.

Level 46

Jan 7, 2021

Those countries are not in Oceania..

Level 56

Feb 19, 2021

I thought this was all non-landlocked countries until I saw Swaziland. And it is called Eswatini now, so... this is just either a really bad suggestion or a really bad joke...

Level 46

Level 55

Apr 26, 2021

You should add France because I said so.

Level 77

May 25, 2021

But there are no French overseas departments in Oceania (New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna and French Polynesia are overseas territories, which do not form part of France). Even if there were (like in North and South America and Africa) I would consider France solely a European country, because most of its territory and population are located there.

Level 77

May 25, 2021

It's like how Russia is not included in the 'Countries of Asia' quiz as most of its population is in Europe (despite more land being in Asia).

Level 44

May 20, 2022

Here is my dumb mnemonic for remembering the small island nations of Oceania. With mnemonics, absurdity can be helpful. "Pals might make noise kicking Tupperware saucepans to free valuable space." Yes saucepans are not made of Tupperware; that is part of the absurdity. Anyway, I've had no trouble remembering these since I made that one up a while back!
