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.

Level 46

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.

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.

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'

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)?

+1
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.

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.

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.

You really want us to copy/paste that link and watch it?

Best case scenario it's Rick Astley.

Worst case scenario it's you doing this in 15 seconds.

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!
