	Deceptively hard quiz, especially given the time limit. Nice work!

	@floydpink: You can jump around by clicking on the boxes where you type the answers.

	Floyd: Of course it is - otherwise you can just randomly enter countries.

	before Sporcle I could NEVER have completed this quiz on time

	Hey, before any more of you decide to rudely downvote, floyd has a point. Without the order forcing, it's true, you can randomly enter countries... but why would that be bad on a quiz like this? As you randomly enter countries, it would still eliminate the countries for the letters you already guessed, making it harder and harder.

	And that is precisely what I did... randomly enter countries I thought of, but click on their corresponding letter first since you have to. Eventually it came down to fewer letters with fewer countries, naturally. Why should you be forced to think of them all in alphabetical order, or specify what you're guessing for. You can type, say "Germany", cross E off the list. "Moldova" cross all the O's off the list. Etc.

	Zak6009: You are diagnosed with having a severe case of Sporclitis (naming Moldova as the "O" country, one of the least known countries in Europe :))

	That you can randomly enter countries is not a bad thing here, because of the time limit. You waste precious seconds mousing around to a field where you've got an answer. You can't afford to dwell on a single box and try to come up with it, for any length of time. The short time limit weighs against most people trying to just slam in all the countries in Europe (which presumably most Sporcle geography players can do, given the time.)

	I always learn something on Sporcle. Today I learned that I've never heard of Italy.

	Oh, Cyprus, how I always forget you...

	Almost suffered a case of Sporclitis on this one. Was stuck on 'p' and got it with four seconds left.

	eab21:	Mar 30th, 2012 at 14:14 GMT	4 points
	Couldn't stop thinking of Rwanda for W.

	Poison76:	Mar 30th, 2012 at 14:21 GMT	0 points
	Not sure how it's possible I missed Italy. Kept thinking of St. something.

	Thanks to those who seconded my sentiments. I am aware that one can jump around by clicking, but how annoying is that? To have to keep moving from keyboard to mouse, etc. And, as noted, random guessing of countries is not a viable strategy with such a short time limit, so there is no need to protect against that. Or, to put it another way, most quizzes like this do not force the answers in order.

	@Poison76 - The 2nd letter for St. _______ would be A... if Europe even had a St. ________

	PumaATTACK:	Mar 30th, 2012 at 16:41 GMT	-2 points
	Why isn't "Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia" counted for the "O" section?!

	natcom75:	Mar 30th, 2012 at 17:09 GMT	1 point
	Whew almost missed France

	mattrollins:	Mar 30th, 2012 at 17:23 GMT	2 points
	K is the second letter of "UK" but not of "United Kingdom". Curses!

	Jesus luxury choccie! How many Sporcle geography quizzes have you played?! This argument comes up in virtually every one concerning Europe! UK is the only accepted answer

	@themightyone, I know, having Sporclitis is nothing new to me, I've come down with it years ago. You agree with my point thought right? Even if you randomly enter countries, once you get one country down for one letter, it invalidates future guesses for any other country with that letter. It'd still be just as equally challenging... just without having to keep clicking. And the clicking factor isn't a "clever" part of the challenge, but an annoying one.
