192 UN recognized states in 15 minutes (or 10 minutes)

192 UN recognized states in 10 minutes

I named 118, missing 74. Hint: There are so many, you’re not likely to get them all, so skip over the long ones like “Bosnia and Herzegovina,” and concentrate on Chad, Peru, Iran, Spain, Laos, Fiji, etc. first.

Hat tip: Innocent Bystanders, for the 50 state version.

Here is a 15 minute version. Otherwise, it is identical to the 10 minute version. I found ten minutes to be a speed-typing challenge, rather than a geography challenge.

    Even on my second pass, I was one shy of your number. Khorosho!

    I got 154 on my first pass. My trick is to do it geographically; that way I could more or less remember what I’d entered, so that in the entire continent of Eurasia I missed only 4 countries.

    I got perfect in the continents of North America and Australia. I’ll blame the rest on my typing skills.
