@RJ: It accepts "RC," why not just type that? Time is of the essence on these 60 second blitz quizzes!

I enter answers like Sao Tome and Principe and Equatorial Guinea, where I missed short answers like Rwanda and Angola. What's wrong with me?

2.9% got 48 countries? I mean how is it possible to even type them in that fast I could probably name 40 countries in a minute or two but to do it and type them in spelled correctly??? sheesh Even if you cheated I am impressed.

Most guessed that I missed? Ghana.... Wonder why that's on everyone's mind :P At least England have joined the USA now, though, so you can't feel too bad..

It isn't impossible. I did the European one in 60 seconds, though it took me like 30 tries. This is just super super duper hard, especially when you are on a lap top

This IS super duper hard. I can name all the countries of Africa, but apparently I can't type them. At least not in a minute. And not in a minute when - like luckygemini - I kept thinking things like Sao Tome and Principe and Democratic Republic of Congo (didn't even think to try DRC).

30. Not bad considering how many of those countries are so difficult to spell, let alone type, let alone type quickly, let alone type correctly. :)

Most people cannot type these in time. How about a more realistic time of 2 or 3 minutes, so most of us are NOT frustrated? This is not fun.

Monty, the whole thing is the 1 minute--you're not supposed to get them all. That said, I'm a little disappointed I went with Sao Tome and Madagascar over DCR and CAR...

Nice, I got 37/53, including the least guessed answer Sao Tome and Principe! I guess I'm just a really quick typist.
