This quiz took a week to create and I am very happy to submit it now. There are 3419 possible answers.
I will gladfully read your feedback if you have something to say, whether it be about the content (potential mistakes) or the form (especially the time limit).
You might get a lot of dots in Russia – blame them from both owning 11% of the world's land area and benefiting from the projection, not me!
This is really a lot of fun, thank you! Needed several tries to reach 100%, finally made it with 5 dots in Russia, 3 Australia and 3 USA, and none in Oceania :-). It revealed some surprises for me, like Sudan reaching very far to the south. Great job!
A point several hundred miles west of Lake Tanganyika was identified as being part of Tanzania.My best guess is that the dot is close to Kamina, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Must be a mistake?
Indeed, randomness induces replayability but also causes luck to become an important factor. Sadly one doesn't come without the other. I'm thankful that you still liked it!
There is a colourblind mode that you can enable here. If it doesn't work for you, I know how to change the CSS for colourblind users only, but I won't bother if it already works.
Great quiz. 19/20 both times I've taken it. Slovakia timed me out as did Uzbekistan. 3rd time 17/20, and 4th time lucky, finally got 20/20. This is a quiz you can do again and again. It was a week well spent creating this masterpiece, Yev.
Just a suggestion Yev, and it is certainly not a criticism, but would it be possible for you introduce into your algorithm a maximum number of dots per country? Or even per continent?
It's a great idea, I actually thought about it before publishing the quiz. I'm not sure there's a way to do this on JetPunk, in fact I'm pretty sure you'd need to completely rework the code for that. May be feasible for someone else. But I can't
JetPunk recognises the fact that Crimea is in Russia's hands, and it is, regardless of your opinion. It doesn't mean it's legitimate, but it's the truth.
It was actually Save European which had the crown before this quiz. Save Humanity was on top before Save European. And, here we usually talk about takes quizzes on front page got in one single day, as Stewart told me sometime in 2014, COTW got 75k takes in one day. And I doubt if any user quiz can achieve that while on FP...
Somehow got Liechtenstein and San Marino. I'm curious to know exactly how this quiz works, because that seems extremely unlikely on the face of it. Great quiz though. I enjoy those that I can do many times over.
There was one time I got 6 in Russia and 5 in Canada. And there's another time where I got Saint Kitts, Eswatini, Turkmenistan, and a total of 18 different countries.
Since the chance of getting russia is roughly 1/10, and the chance of getting iran is roughly 1/100, the chance that you got 10 of each is roughly 1/10^18, you are lying.
Note: It may be a good idea to not include disputed territories in the list. The moment a dot went straight onto the Falkland Islands I realized I'd need to make an extra guess.
Could have been French Guiana (a subdivision of France) in South America, or New Caledonia over by Australia, or Reunion near Africa, or other French islands in Caribbean.

I hope you'll have fun taking this quiz :)
Edit : you're right! The dot was located right where Kamina is. Thank you so much!
Brilliant quiz!!
