The only solution I find is that overtired is a genius. Brillant idea, as always (but more again this time, in my opinion). Congratulations, and nominated, sure!
Not every person's brain is image-focused. My, for example, is sound-focused. I never benefit from these "memory techniques" that tell you to imagine some pictures instead of words. Hell, I often do the opposite and try to remember picutres as words because I can't remember many visual details. If police asked me to help with a photofit picture of anybody, I would be of 0 help.
Got 100% on the first go and normally I suck in these memory games haha. Incredible how much better my mind works when it comes to geography knowledge and memorising maps.
I feel like an absolute idiot, I did this quiz 8 times before I got them all. The kicker: I got 14/15 on every single other try. One country always somehow slipped my mind.
Zooming in is annoying and doesn't bring anything to the concept of the quiz. If you can't use a dot for microstates, then just exclude them. Ironically, we can perfectly see island states like Nauru and Seychelles, but then countries like Djibouti are virtually invisible without zooming in. Surely a dot should be the minimum size for all countries whether on sea or land?
Only got 12 the first time because I didn't bother counting and missed the smaller countries. The second time I spent more time looking for the smaller countries than studying the map.
Great quiz, although I could do better I enjoy having a go. I find that after I do the quiz about 3 times I am keeping too much of the other quizzes in my memory box :o)
I'm proud of my bad memory for getting this on the first try.
I decided to go in with mnemonics cuz my memory sucks so I came up with mnemonics for the different continents countries. There was only 1 in the Americas and 1 in Oceania, so I just kept their normal names. And the 3 i got in Africa didn't start with a vowel so I just repeated LCG 'til I had started and could type them in. The actual mnemonics came into play for Europe and Asia. I used GRINS for Europe cuz I got Greece, Romania, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. Then I had to be more creative with Asia and made SKYLIK cuz I got South Korea, Yemen, Laos, Iran, and Kazakhstan. I found my mnemonics funny and figured I'd share them.
Edit: That's actually as bit of a challenge. I only missed Belize, which I didn't have time to notice.
