i think at some point an island is just so big it becomes a continental landmass. there is virtually no difference between the landmasses of america and borneo, except that the former is larger
This is definitely doable within the time limit, but I kept missing two countries each time, and it was always two different countries, and they were always too small to find in the last few seconds I had left. So basically it took me two tries to get to 154 and eight or nine tries to get to 156.
I missed a quite few countries that way. The most embarrassing thing for me though was forgetting half of the Balkans somehow--even though it should've been clear I was missing something there.
I forgot Yugoslavia (and a few other Balkans), a couple West African, Lebanon, and El Salvador. El Salvador is something I always miss, because i go for North America USA, Mexico, DR, Nicaragua, Panama.
USA, Belize, Honduras, Panama, DR, Peru, Brazil gets all of the americas. just make sure you don't forget to type France when you get to europe so that you don't miss Monaco/ Andorra.
