Fastest JetPunk Times

Last updated: Friday February 21st, 2020

What's the fastest time on the Countries of the World quiz? It's a question that many people have asked, but I couldn't answer. It's really easy to cheat so just looking at the stats isn't enough.

Now there might be an answer. USAsoccer9876 has posted a video of completing the quiz in just 2:58. While this is far beyond the range of most people's typing ability, there is still room for improvement. Can anyone else do better?

See the video here.

Edit: Another user has posted a time of 2:48.

Edit: The record is now 2:44.

Edit: As of July 2019, the record is now 2:33, held by rawe!

Edit: February 2020, the record is now 2:17.

It's pretty fast, but did you complete it in silence?

Level 84

Apr 19, 2018

I never tried to set a speed record but looking it up now my fastest time is 5:42. I think I could probably shave 2-3 minutes off that with practice. I'm confused about the "USA" in the members username, though, as this contradicts the popular prejudice that all UnitedStatesians are ignorant of geography. Could the QM consider editing the member's username to avoid offending non-UnitedStatesians, please?

Gee, what a hilarious sly reference to how right he is about the United States/America argument.

Apr 20, 2018

Eh?

Level 84

Apr 20, 2018

I don't speak whatever peculiar language it is you are writing in, but anyway if I get the jist: I'll stop pointing out that bigots are bigots without any basis for their bigotry as soon as they stop leaving bigoted comments at every opportunity.

+28

Level 81

Apr 21, 2018

But nobody was bigoted, you just projected bigotry onto an empty thread. Anyhow it's just a stereotype, we all live with them wherever we're from.

Level 84

Apr 25, 2018

hooray for quietly accepting bigoted and inaccurate stereotypes then?? I think that's what the people liking your comment are saying.

+23

Level 81

Apr 26, 2018

They probably agree that no one had been bigoted and that you're being a bit silly.

Level 56

Sep 27, 2018

Well this joke went a bit off the rails...

Level 52

Mar 2, 2022

This shows that not everyone in the US is ignorant of geography. But what would he need to change and how would it offend anybody?

HOW MY FASTEST IS LIKE 5 MINUTES AND I WAS GOING FULL TRY HARD TO IMPRESS MY FREINDS! HE HAD TO BE DOING COPY AND PASTE!!!!!

Level 73

Jun 20, 2018

He was not. Look at the video.

Level 22

Sep 4, 2018

I'm actually curious if copy/pasting is allowed, I mean if I paste a country lik equatorialguinea or dominicanrepublic it'd save a couple seconds from my time. But yeah you could only paste one country, if allowed :P

Level 55

Jan 13, 2022

dr is an easy way to do dominican republic fast.

Level 55

May 19, 2022

Guinea-BissauCongoMicronesia will give you Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, both Congos, and F. S. Micronesia, so it's probably the best. If F. S. Micronesia was already colored it would probably throw off my rhythm though.

Level 31

May 29, 2022

instead of micronesia do fsm

CAPS LOCK, BRUH.

Level 68

May 4, 2021

5 minutes is not even that fast. My best is 3:13 and I could still probably do even better.

Level 44

Apr 21, 2018

Wow, my hat is off to that quizzer! My absolute best time was 3:35. I might be able to improve my score by a few seconds, but I'll certainly never top 2:58!

Level 75

Apr 22, 2018

My best is 3:52, I think. Wow, 2:58 is insane...

Level 59

Apr 23, 2018

Is there a new "did you know" feature now?

Level 56

Apr 25, 2018

Did you know that’s there’s a ‘Did You Know’ feature?

Level 48

May 4, 2018

Did you know?

JetPunk now features a "Did you know?" informational after each quiz. More >>

Level 56

Apr 25, 2018

Also, having a multiple choice style option for quizzes would be a nice addition.

Level 36

May 30, 2022

um coming back here in 2022 it happened so like yeah

Level 34

May 22, 2018

I think it is possible for someone to beat the record if they used a macro/autotyper.

Level 34

May 28, 2018

But 2.58 is still the official record done legitimately.

5:36 now

Aug 1, 2018

As a matter of fact, that user managed 2 minutes 49.52 seconds so you may have shaved something off Dan.

Level 52

Aug 16, 2018

I think he was probably just basing it off of the actual quiz timer, not the timer in the bottom right.

Level 33

I've only finished the quiz only one time

Hi!

Thank you for including my time! It's such an honor to have the current record, it took a lot of practice. I started trying this around July of last year, so it was a long way until I could reach 2:48 :)

Yeah my video has 2:49 because it's the final time of the manual timer, but I agree the official time should be 2:48, since it's the in-web time. Sorry if this sounds braggy, but it'd be nice to have my username added there as well, it feels like ''oh btw someone did a 2:48'', but it's fine if it stays like this :P

Level 52

Sep 8, 2018

I think you should have your name put up there too! Congrats on having the record currently! Do you manually press the button to split the time on LiveSplit?

Level 22

Sep 10, 2018

Hi, thank you! Yeah I split them manually, I'm so used to doing it that I barely lose time on it anymore, for example I always type ''argentinaENTERaustralia'', at most it loses one second, but having splits helps me see where I should practice, where I can improve and it also ''double checks'' my end time.

@Quizmaster, is there any way I could report a quiz? Because I'd very much like to 'report' this one: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/301610/south-or-north-korea

Feb 27, 2019

Just comment on the quiz and mark the suggestion box. That quiz should never have been approved and is now deleted.

Level 77

Feb 27, 2019

OK. There are some other quizzes by Geometry which I would like to report, such as this one: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/301610/south-korea-border

Edit: I can't find the suggestion box on any of Geometry's quizzes.

Another frivolous 'quiz' that ought not to be on this site: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/301610/funny

Oh yeah, that box doesn't exist on non-featured quizzes. I would say don't worry about it unless it's really offensive, in which case use the contact us page to e-mail me. I banned that user, FYI.

It seems that my quizzes are now automatically approved on the site. Why is that? (It's a good thing of course :))

Level 68

Mar 11, 2019

After some time quizzes are automatically approved. Essentially it prevents people coming on and abusing the site, but allows those that have been here a while and made several quizzes post and update quicker. (Essentially reduces the number of quizzes to be moderated once a user has been trusted)

Hello, einstein100102 's test account here, I have found a loophole of getting as fast times as 0:00 seconds. I can tell you about if you want to and maybe you could eliminate this option if you would wish to.
