Reached a plateau on shaving off any time for this one. In order to have a new challenge using the same quiz, now I look at the map and write down all 20 missing countries before I start it. The goal is to get the fastest time typing them all in when I already know what they are. After I've set that personal record, I'll start with only 19 pre-identified, then 18, etc. Did I mention I like his quiz? :D
I hate having to type out Equatorial Guinea. I use as many shortenings as possible but every time I get it, my score gets worse. Besides this minor inconvenience, the quiz is great!
I usually scan the map quickly before starting. If EG is one of the missing countries I write off beating my personal best (0:18) and play that round with less effort.
Thanks to the warning in Italics at the top of the page, the South Pacific and African island nations aren't that hard because I know to keep a special eye out for them. But countries like the UK, Japan, and the Netherlands? Miss them every time. (I missed perfidious Albion three times on the road to 20/20!)
Not sure if this subject has been addressed before, but it seems that there are a few countries that disappear more frequently than others. Haven't keep count, but after having taken this quiz over 7,000 times (yes, I'm obsessed - I see how many I can do in a row under 45 seconds), I seem to have Gabon and Burkina Faso, for example, missing more often than a lot of other countries. Maybe I'm just going blind after so many attempts . . .
this is a totally rad quiz, it really helped me place some countries on the map that i had never considered the location of. also, one time they disappeared portugal and it made spain look so weird
I'm crying, how do I never get 20/20 here?? I just had a round were SEVERAL oceanian countries were missing, those teenie tiny islands, and i guessed all of them correctly. But I just couldn't seem to guess the last one missing. It was Greece. I can't- jeez
Hi Quizzer6794. I made a couple of quizzes based on the stats for this quiz. Hope that's OK, but if not, or you were planning on doing the same do let me know! Thanks
The islands are really hard to spot. A lot of them show up blank so you really can't tell whether it's legitimately missing or if it's just blank. Other than that, good quiz.
FINALLY!!!!! I've been playing this quiz a few times a day on repeat and today is the day I have finally completed it!! Awesome quiz, shame I wasn't able to nominate this. This quiz took a tole out of me and others most likely but all in all lot's of fun!
if you hold space then you can use all the character limit without it looking like that. basically i'm doing it but also if you edit then the character limit goes away.
hey guys, what is your record time in this game? Mine is 39 seconds! I think that is a great score, but i'm really curious what other peoples records are!
After 65 attempts (I counted on the stats page), I have gotten really good at this and no longer miss many. My most recent close call was Somalia, which took me a solid minute to find. You just find a way of combing over the map that works for you.
Love this quiz. The random factor makes it fun to replay over and over and race against one's own personal best time.
My only complaint is the choice of nations that are included vs not included in the set of countries that can be missing. I understand the choice to exclude micro-nations like Vatican City or those of the Lesser Antilles... but why include Malta or Nauru and not Cyprus, Lebanon or Singapore? Why not include East Timor or Qatar? Some of these are visible lands at this scale.
I would like to see East Timor, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Qatar included, if not all micro-nations highlighted like Seychelles, Nauru or Maldives.
How are we to know if the islands are missing or not? Sometimes the shaded light blue emptiness suggest it is missing. I type in its name and presto nothing happens, other times it is valid...
Most of those people just find them all before starting the quiz and type them as fast as possible. Other way which is how I've got it is just a lucky run where it's all super obvious countries like USA, Brazil, Russia, etc
But I refuse to play when one of the missing countries is Equatorial Guinea; I just reload the page.
No countries where the spelled-out name is wider than the actual country...
Kind of hard to tell with islands but did good finding seychelles, but totally missed jamacia.
Thanks!
dang it oceania
