I was scared when I had to write Nigeria, because I thought it would count Niger first, which would have caused an infinite loop that would eventually kill me.

I had the same concern with Congo. Thankfully, Republic of the Congo isn't in the top 100, let alone the top 50.

seems to wait until you get the wrong letter, as I tried to guess Ukraine (I don't know why) and it thought I had typed "UK"

DR is not in the top 50 so no life lost.

Got 19 right without losing a life then lost them all on the last one. Couldn't get Germany, I thought I was missing an African country.

I was meaning to type 'Ukraine' but only got to 'uk' and it counted me as a whammy. I then typed 'uk' again thinking United Kingdom would no longer apply and it counted as a whammy again after two letters. I realize both aren't in the Top 20 but it was a bit annoying.

Really enjoyed this one. I’m loving all the new formats. Glad we’re getting some of the Sporcle ones (as this is obviously the far superior quiz site).

What is your source for Thailand? According to the national estimate for November 2024, they only have 65,960,724 people, below France and the UK. I highly doubt they gained 5 million people in 2 months.

they both ended up being wrong, but i tried typing in "Ukraine" three times and it marked me wrong after typing "Uk" each time. kind of a massive flaw in the system.

Agreed, but if it counts it as wrong, then you know that the country you tried to type wasn't safeproofed, and that it probably isn't it.
