For me this is a "see it at once or not at all" quiz. I don't mind the extra minute (or half-hour) but it doesn't help!

This is surprisingly hard! I can easily get 100% in "Countries of the world" but here, I look at first and last letter and I recall 3 or 4 countries starting with that letter but none of them fits. Then I think "what the hell, how it's not any of those?!". Then I get stuck and can't recall any more. Then I go to another and the same story.

Only got 16/24 the first time, and the second time, a couple of weeks later, merely 13/24, I thought I would be easily able to get like 22/24, maybe unable to recall the odd one in time but the majority should be no problem, but apparently it was.

It's funny how a brain works. I always suck at these quizzes with given but mixed-up letters, starring at these letters for ages and always missing some words. But here, with only 2 letters given it was quite easy, got 100% on the first try. Freaky.

"Nederland" in its native language (Dutch/Nederlands)

"The Netherlands" in English, but this site drops the "the"

SMFlex

Level 54
Apr 14, 2024
In English, the “the” is just how the language works. Like it the name of the United States building where the president works is “White House” but we have to add “the” before it. That’s also why the “the” is not capitalized.
Sifhraven

Level 72
Apr 14, 2024
Yea it is the same in my language. I would argue though that the name is "the White House" not just white house, it really doesn't work without the the. But yea for other examples it works and I get what you are saying.

Though I think in the case of the Netherlands it is different. Since it is short for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. (atleast on this site, since here they use the sovereign country and not constituent countries. Like they use UK and not England) And basically it says "the (collection of) lands" just lands would be odd.

I am fine with or without the "the" by the way, it was just a remark I didn't mean anything by it, was just explaining the name (referring to my original comment). But since you replied, I thought I'd respond :)
