Would be a proper quiz if you gave 30 seconds. Took me 26!

A proper quiz does not depend on speed of typing. A typing speed test depends on typing speed. Why do people think that being able to type quickly needs more brains than just answering the questions is beyond me.

Well said, my brain seems to work a lot faster than my fat fingers, I always seem to have to correct a few typo's in every quiz I do.

Agreed - if you know all the answers and the test is to see how quickly you can type them in without having to think for a second or two then it is purely a typing test. I can't understan why people want less time? Challenge yourselves with beating your own time and allow others to likewise.

Level 74

I agree too. Fact that I typed them all just in 12 seconds doesn't make me smarter than someone who did it in 1 minute

Level 72

Jan 21, 2019

I agree it shouldnt be a typing test. You need time to think about the ones you didnt immediatly knew. But it also shouldnt be a type all the (african) countries you can think of quiz. Thats what you can get with too much time.

I quit not being able to think of the last one, when after 30 seconds I still couldnt picture what it could be (and trying zambia and angola)

Nice quiz. And yes, 1 minute would still be fairly straightforward. Took me 25 seconds and I can never type Mozambique quickly!!

Level 67

May 2, 2016

Less time would be appreciated: took me 11 seconds.

Level 62

Aug 3, 2018

The fact of the matter is that lowering the time limit is completely unnecessary.

Level 67

May 25, 2021

I wonder what it is about having less time that would make you appreciate it more? Would you prefer the time decreased to the point at which you failed, or only until you are one of a more select group of people who type pretty quick?

May 19, 2016

I completed it before the timer even started. Have you tried doing it as 0 seconds?

Level 65

May 19, 2016

That's not impressive at all. I completed it in -8 seconds. You should consider making it less than 0 seconds.

Why is it that geography questions score so highly I wonder? I always feel like a bit of a dunce when I do them - I always score well above average with most other quizzes, but when it comes to geography I just have no Idea it seems. I wouldn't have thought that the general population would have a significantly better knowledge of geography than me, however it seems the jetpunk population definately is.

Level 74

May 19, 2016

I have done much better after practicing over and over with the quizzes here. I can now name all the countries of the world. Sadly, I can't seem to remember the capitals worth a flip, but I keep trying.

Level 71

Feb 13, 2018

I'm guessing a lot of people do the quizzes with a world map nearby. I used to do it, really helped me to not need the map anymore!

Level 72

Jan 21, 2019

I dont think anyone here does that. Well, atleast one then I guess.

I think they are either allready geography nerds, or like me werent good at ALL the first time they did a geography quiz on here (I think i got 85 in the countries of the world the first time (first quiz i did on here I believe), the second time was allready slightly more acceptable (100 or something) and after that compared to people outside of jetpunk you start to get good (160 third time I believe). Geography was allways one of my worst subjects, that changed after a few days on this site. You learn a lot here. Well sports and history I am even worse in, and I dont see that changing haha ( at least the person parts of that, rules and description of games maybe and things like irona age stone age. But nothing with players and minsters and wars etc)

Level 71

Jul 11, 2021

Still, it would mean there are almost no first (or second, third...) timers anymore on Jetpunk. So I still agree with @danvan's comment that geography quizzes have unusually high results compared to other quizzes.

Level 53

Oct 3, 2020

Opposite for me - I found this site from the Countries of the world test, and in anything other than Geography or anything related (History, Flags,) I am a dunce at. I only got around 5 Oscar winners on my 1st swing in the welcome badge

Level 43

Feb 15, 2023

I think its because the Jetpunk population is sort of built off of Geography. A lot of Jetpunkers are just really good at geography.

The boringness of South Africa's name really sticks out in comparison to it's much more fun to say neighbors' names.

To all of you very annoying people banging on about the time and how easy it was, leave the time as it is, it's fine. Maybe not everyone is a knowledgeable on the subject or quick at typing as you are, these quizzes should be open to all of all ages and abilities to enjoy without the worry that times going to run out before they get at least a chance to complete it. Knowledge is not a race. rant over!

Level 55

Sep 3, 2016

Agreed!

Level 18

May 16, 2017

I agree a 100% to leave the time as it is. It's especially difficult for those people speaking 4 languages but never know how to spell it correctly !!! True !

Level 61

May 21, 2016

I would say only half a minute (or a minute to be nice to slow typers) is necessary for this quiz - at that point, if you haven't answered some, you probably don't know them.

Level 22

May 23, 2016

Took me 14 seconds on my first try, please shorten the time to 30 seconds as I feel that is very doable

On quizzes like these, it is implied that these are modern day countries. If it doesn't say that it was from the past then it is always going to be modern day countries.

To jest angielska wersją językową JetPunk, dlatego nie ma możliwości wpisywania nazw obiektów geograficznych w innych językach, niż angielski. Jeżeli chcesz pisać po polsku to zapraszam do polskiej wersji językowej JetPunk, która nie jest tak rozwinięta jak angielską, mimo to znajdziesz tutaj sporo tłumaczeń angielskich quizów, jeżeli nie masz dużej wiedzy na temat angielskich odpowiedników.
