Well I would guess people do it more by memory on this one and more visual on the other one. If you only concentrate on what you can see, it is easy to forget about the tiny islands.
I wonder what order people go in. I start with Canada and work my way down the Americas, inputting the smaller Suriname and Guyana last in South America. Then move to Europe, then Asia, then Africa, and then Oceania.
I usually try to do all of the tiny countries, island countries, and African countries first. Those are the ones I most commonly forget, things like Sri Lanka, Eritrea, or Grenada, for example.
African islands, Pacific islands and the Caribbean are my usual stumbling blocks. Hopefully I will crack it soon. I thought I might never get the World Map with 20 random countries missing, but it finally fell two days ago.
For whatever reason, I simply am not able to get 100% on this quiz, its beyond frustrating lol. I can do all 196 with a map just fine, I know the flags and capitals too. But this quiz man. I've tried it at least 20 times and EVERY SINGLE TIME I just cannot remember the last one or two countries I'm missing. And it's always a different couple countries that I forget.
I have exactly the same problem, I don't understand. Always different ones. I just can't do better than 7 minutes. Often the problem is Taiwan, Madagascar, Baltic states, the Caucasus or even the whole of Scandinavia lol
6:10 remaining... Not my fastest, but the first time that I complete it in one straight line (without having to check what I forgot at the end, which I usually do)
This is, by far, my favorite quiz on Jetpunk. I use it as a warm-up for my daily quizzes. I don't even care about the time remaining as much as just getting every country. Grazie mille, relessness!!!
Mozambique, because its letters are really spread out over the keyboard. In contrast, the easiest and fastest to spell on a keyboard are my country Pakistan, Nigeria and Indonesia.
It didn't gain independence. Though it is kind of sovereign, it's still under New Zealand. Also, only 3 countries (France, Israel, New Zealand) recongnise it and it is not a member of UN.
1 missed... Turkey!!! I'm wondering how of all countries I could miss such an integral part of asia/europe! Didn't realise there was an alphabetical list underneath which would've helped hehe
After a long time, I managed to memorize all the countries, including the small ones and islands, it was about to be my first time to do 196/196 and I forget vietnam and albania. I sit here thinking "What island did I miss?" and they happen to be one of the easiest ones.
this isn't as hard that it actually seems. Sometimes, when you have a map, it is easier if you don't have a map, since that won't stress you out. However, it is easier to forget small countries and some islands.
Try to solve this writing one country for each continent. You can’t write another country of the same continent without write a country from each other continentes, and again. For example: canada, portugal, japan,palau,egypt, venezuela, ......
I swear, after doing them all with a map, I do this one and forget very obvious ones, like the Baltic States, Scandinavia, Madagascar or Philippines. Crazy.
I got my 196 (and badge) ages ago but I still come back periodically to do the quiz again as mental exercise. I’m back again and I got 192/196 so a bit more work before I move on.
I mean, I got them with 6:35 remaining, without even stopping to think, cause I have them in my muscle memory, so I guess I'm a slow typer, cause I have no idea how some people got it in about 4 minutes.
One day I will get all of the nations. I get all of them most of the time but just now I got 195/196 because I forgot Jamaica. I knew there were 23 NA nations not 22.
Finished it in 4:16 (with 10:44 remaining), I made sure to go for the island countries and micronations first so that I wouldn't have to scour for them at the end.
I believe it is the accent on the ã that makes it after all the other S countries. It might be the algorithm just making unknown characters after everything else.
Like @epicpuffin442 said I think it has something to do with that Portuguese "a". It may come after "y" in the Syrian alphabet, but if it's not because of that, that is really weird.
Honestly much harder then I thought it would be… got 190 first try after forgetting about somehow forgetting Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg as well as Philippines, Marshall Islands, and Solomon Islands.
me when i missed monaco, samoa, taiwan, and ICELAND but never got them because i spent the entire time going over the caribbean thinking that i easily had everything else lmao
Wonderful quiz. Nevertheless, the Balearic Islands do not appear on the map when I enter the answer "Spain."
Additionally, considering the current Russian invasion of Ukraine, I believe it is not accurate to consider Crimea as part of Russia, since it is recognized as Ukrainian soil according to international law and by the vast majority of the UN including the United States.
100% first try, I've speed run it all with a lot of time left and 1 country missing, it was Antigua and Barbuda which I usually knew but seems like it was hard here, got it near the end :)
100% 4:49 remaining. Last two were Jamaica and Vanuatu. Took me about 2 minutes for them. The "countries by letters" quizes helped a lot. I know that there are 3 countries with letter J
Bro legit forgot philippines and taiwan existed also took me a bit since i forgot to type vanuatu and tuvalu since some of the t's and v's were missing
i think its cos we read left to right so we tend to work left to right too
African islands, Pacific islands and the Caribbean are my usual stumbling blocks. Hopefully I will crack it soon. I thought I might never get the World Map with 20 random countries missing, but it finally fell two days ago.
And my lowest answer in now at 67% !
(I'm a tiny bit proud of myself, yes)
To me, it's Liechtenstein (I just copy-pasted it here, lol)
i got all inn oceania lol i memories in oceania in my mind i was thinking about did i already got saint vincent
Forgot Moldova. I was going through Europe quickly..
I wish I had that many :[
I would appreciate the help! Thank you!
I do it continent by continent but when I start a continent I start with the micronations
missed iceland, koreas, japan, most islands in pacific half in carribean, some in africa, and three from the americas.
Thanks, great quiz!
I like how you wrote it.
Additionally, considering the current Russian invasion of Ukraine, I believe it is not accurate to consider Crimea as part of Russia, since it is recognized as Ukrainian soil according to international law and by the vast majority of the UN including the United States.
The next one might be without a full list. Or maybe we take the pledge not to consult it as we finish our entries.
Probably because it has no borders, and the map looks correct even without it.
got all of them in 3:43 (first time sub 4 min)
