I know the 'best' way to do this quiz is by typing the shortest names, and that's how I always try to start (USA, UK, UAE, Congo for two, CAR, Cuba, etc) but then as time goes by I start panicking and just typing whatever countries I can think of...so I get Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan and New Zealand and a bunch of other long ones...anyone else end up this way?

This applies to most country quizzes, but shouldn't RSA count for South Africa if KSA counts for Saudi Arabia and other ones like PRC, ROC?

Level 72

Mar 4, 2024

The initialism RSA doesn't appear to be that popular, surprisingly. I tried googling "RSA" and South Africa wasn't even on the first page.

Level 21

Oct 26, 2023

I got 60 first try. Not too bad, but definitely not the best. I don't get how everyone else is so freaking fast...

Level 72

Alright, I went through the list of accepted typeins and tried to get the bare minimum of characters to see if this quiz is theoretically possible. Nobody actually cares about the process but you'd need about 266.6 WPM minimum. Apparently the world record is around the 270-277 mark, so I guess it's technically doable?

Level 28

Mar 11, 2024

aw man i got 48 countries over 196 but i can do 196 countries.

am I the only one who has a problem with this quiz being humanly impossible? I honestly wouldn't mind if it wasn't featured, since its impossible to do

Level 76

Jun 9, 2024

It's not supposed to be possible - it's just a test to see how many you can get in a minute! To get the maximum 5 points you need to get 48 countries.

Level 44

Jul 5, 2024

I need to type two countries between every country I originally type to reach minimum requirement LOL

Hi everyone im a fetus in my mommy's belly. I'm controlling mom's fingers to type this. I got ez 89 points as negative 7 months old! Anyone who has worse score than me should be ASHAMED and be well aware that you SUCCCK! See yall in 7 months when my age turns to a positive number. SUCKERS!

Level 23

Oct 31, 2024

imagine only having 89 at negative seven months 🤣🤣🤣

Level 34

Oct 31, 2024

My high score in this quiz is 91 country. You can get high results if you practice enough and have good geographical knowledge AND high typing speed (mine averages around 130-140 WPM)

USA dr Congo car uk fyrom ksa uae PRC roc dprk rok NZ png fsm cuba Peru Mali Togo chad Oman Iraq Iran Laos Fiji Haiti Chile Libya Egypt Sudan Kenya Gabon Benin Ghana Niger Spain Malta Italy Syria Qatar Yemen Nepal India Japan Nauru Palau Samoa Tonga

This are the shortest type-ins for countries (acronyms + real names), including all 5 letters or less type-ins, 49 countries in all, enough for 5 points. Enjoy!
