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?

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?

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.
