Jeez, I had about 4 minutes left and the map was unrecognizable and I was at 194 so I just hit the give up button thinking that was good enough. Average score is 191! Feel like I have to do it again.
It means that theres 64% of players either scored as high or higher but out of all the players that have played this they had different scores but added up to the avarage of 216
With 257 I only beat 61%. Jeez, that was hard. Nearly regret spending work time for a quiz. Although, a great quiz. I would play a "Europe only" version of this or for other condinents as well. Now I feel the urge to repeat it...
Took me a few tries to beat this one. Great quiz. How about one where it shows all the countries and they only disappear after you get all the borders.
Awesome quiz! It's tough, and although I got 100% first try, with 7:49 left, it was hard to keep track of the small borders. Also, can you update Swaziland to Eswatini?
Missed just one, Morocco-Spain. I don't think that one is visible even with zoom, which makes it bloody hard to find when it's the only one you're missing.
It is visible. I had one left and couldn't seen any line, so I started clicking at random points and finally I happened to zoom at north Africa and saw these few little dots. When I moved a bit south, it showed Morocco-Algeria, so after a while I guessed that it must be Morocco-Spain :D
That's because there isn't one. Akrotiri and Dhekelia are British Overseas Territories, so not part of the United Kingdom. Same as for Gibraltar, which is why UK-Spain also isn't on here.
this doesn't work at all on dark mode as the countries are in black and the borders very dark grey - i can't make them out. perhaps they could be white, or the jetpunk green? thanks
Managed to clear off the Americas, Europe, and all but like five borders in Africa. Didn’t start on Asia and the few in Oceania. Ggs to those who got more… don’t understand how it’s possible lol
I typed Zambia Namibia a dozen times and it wouldn't accept it. In the answers, it's written as namibia zambia. Could you accept the reverse please?
Also check on Croatia Montenegro to be sure it accepts it both ways - those are the only two I missed and I'm reasonably confident I didn't actually miss them.
I pressed start then realised what I'd got myself into and I didn't have half an hour to spend. I hope the grand total of USA/Canada doesn't forever go on my record...
Looks like Saint Martin, an island split in twain between the Dutch constituency of Sint Maarten in the South and the French overseas collectivity of Saint-Martin in the North. Judging from the older comments, I’m pretty sure this quiz used to include that overseas border, but has since removed it, and the map just hasn’t been updated yet.
This is a great idea and a great quiz, but is there a way to do it with 2 text boxes? I mean copy/paste is ok, but it's still cumbersome. It would be so much better if you could type a country in one box, then start knocking out the bordering countries in the other box. As it is, I'm just too slow with the keyboard.
Mate... it's not just about knowing... it's also about practice.... The quiz will totally lose more than half of its purpose. Or, maybe, he should send you a pair of automatic hands to type for you.
If you struggle with this level remember to do short borders first! You will alway recognise borders like mali-mauretani so there is no need to rush them as they give you a lot of information.
Bahrain is an island, only connected to Saudi Arabia by bridge. You could make the same argument for Singapore-Malaysia and Denmark-Sweden, but they don't share a land border.
the only other quiz to work up to this is -the one for Europe since you already have this worked out
can you please make one for each continent to teach ourselves
can you please reorder the answers in alpha order by continent with separate headings to check when we get mixed up
very intricate instructional tool but way too busy and abstract to just crank out
since you have done all the work creating 6 diff ones with alternate lists with this as the grand finale will give you 5 more quizzes on your roster with many more stats for test takers and more would attempt as they master the others separately feeling ready for ultimate challenge - not much more work for you
value of Jet Punk -besides helping us all not go as crazy during pandemic -I bet numbers soared as we all got hooked.... the true value is the instructional value the accuracy of the information and the consistency with which it is presented re 196 nations and consistent use of abbreviations etc
Had one to go with one minute left. I couldn't see where it was at all. It was Botswana-Zambia. I knew it was the shortest land border, but even after the quiz was done and I zoomed in, it was maybe 2 pixels. Great quiz.
Both kinds all the borders and the ones where each country name clears all its borders?
This is such a good teaching tool but it is way too much in one go without a lot of practice learning by continent. I have Europe down thanks to that quiz available.
Asia?
Africa?
NA and SA are pretty easy they can be together..
Please please please
Isn't it just a matter of grouping and separating the data you already have?
Hi - thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind but I am not sure when I will be able to do those versions. Feel free to copy this quiz and adapt it to single continents if you like, that might be quicker!
I have no idea how you do this and I cannot imagine that it is easy, but it seems like the world map is the worst and the date sets that are linked could be separated into different files for learning. It is too confusing with the whole world up unless we all get really good at each continent separately please!
Also, while it is interesting to note the length of the borders it does not help one solve the puzzle. If each continent had a separate list of related borders it would be a good reference for which little squiggles are left. It would also be interesting to see how many international borders there are by continent.
Just an idea. Interesting. Could be more manageable by continent and this could be the final assault to the top of the international border mountain! Thank you
314/315 with 7 minutes left...I could not find the border between turkey and azerbaijan on the map no matter how hard i looked or where i zoomed in... Wish there was a way to highlight where these border are, as i was just searching endlessly and desperately at which border i missed.
Check out the following link: https://realestate.wichita.edu/question/median-vs-average/
In this case, your result is higher than average but lower than median.
Beats or equals 86.3%....
Damn, these guys are good XD
Could you make Eswatini acceptable as a type in for Swaziland?
I only missed Netherlands-France
Excellent Quiz!
Also check on Croatia Montenegro to be sure it accepts it both ways - those are the only two I missed and I'm reasonably confident I didn't actually miss them.
Me: (types "IndiaChina")
Me: (types "PakistanChina")
Me: Wow, I just solved a lot of problems!
To avoid the 1.3 km border between Canada and Denmark.
Stopped after about a minute.
(This comment was also a time waster).
Only beating 79,6%. Unbelievable.
Finally did it.
very special mindset required, trying to remember what I just typed instead of what to type afterwards and always looking at the map.
The most insane quizz in the 'borders' category.
It could be nice to have more like that.

also a big thank you!!!

Well thank you
cut this up past Europe
The Americas together is fine
but Asia
Africa and
Oceania need to be separated, too -please.
