	I went for Bosnia and Herzegovina first, only to realize it wasn't even an answer

	I like it and I don't, being a bad typist I did not do nearly as well as I could have. Another minute would still be difficult enough??? But again, I do like it, this is hardly a complaint.

	I agree with imdana and tomahaha. Even if you do think of all the answers quickly, there just isn't even time to type them. This quiz would be more fun with at least 2:00 or better yet 3:00. As it is, just as you're starting to enjoy the challenge, time runs out and you don't get to play any more.

	Hi guys :p With all 60 Second Blitz', the idea is to see how many you can get in a minute! It is an awesome feat if you can manage the lot [I never can :(]! Good luck! :D

	"Can you name the countries ending in 'ia' in 60seconds?" ANSWER: NO. No I cannot. :(

	.2% of users HAVE gotten 100% so no its not impossible... but honestly i dont think that was the intent of this quiz... i think the idea is just to see how many you CAN get, and to challenge yourself to beat your score... btw never seen a blitz quiz more than a minute

	I think 2 minutes would make the quiz more fun.

	The point of the 60-second blitz quizzes isn't to get all of them. Just think of the "countries of the world" blitz quiz... it's impossible to get all 196 countries in 60 seconds, but it is fun to see how many you get. I think this is perfect as-is.

	I missed Georgia. I should've gotten it, I was in Atlanta last week.

	I understand your point, segacs, but that makes this more a typing test than a geography/thinking quiz.

	Really surprising that after 5 you realise you begin to struggle.

	I like the blitz quizzes - they provide a nice contrast with the ones with lots of time. With no time pressure most Sporcle addicts could get full marks on this one, but that clock ticking away so fast brings on a rabbit in the headlights mindset... for me, anyway. Off to see if I can do a bit better second time around!

	shaymatt:	Feb 6th, 2012 at 18:38 GMT		2 points
	Fair play to the 0.1% (at time of writing) getting all of them!

	Trifko:	Feb 6th, 2012 at 18:53 GMT		15 points
	Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia. 20 years ago this quiz was little bit easier, there was only one country: Yugoslavia :)

	dancastro:	Feb 6th, 2012 at 19:22 GMT		8 points
	@Trifko: and some years before, still easier: no Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia or Armenia. I imagine that the quiz would have accepted USSR, because if you had to type Union of Soviet Socialist Republics you would have lost all the time you had gained. (Although a Sporcle in the Cold War times would have lacked all those Kyrgyzstan jokes...)

	buJ:	Feb 6th, 2012 at 20:11 GMT		2 points
	Start...India...umm....Bosnia?...

	DrQuatsch:	Feb 6th, 2012 at 20:34 GMT		1 point
	not nearly fast enough :(

	Polal:	Feb 6th, 2012 at 20:40 GMT		3 points
	Simply not possible. The 2% who got all of them are machine.

	eab21:	Feb 6th, 2012 at 20:40 GMT		5 points
	Please accept "Eastern Europe." ;)

	Rob42:	Feb 6th, 2012 at 20:44 GMT		5 points
	Well the quiz is a good idea, but nowhere near enough time. I know that it is a blitz, but an extra minute would still make the game challenging.

	Q_Pheevr:	Feb 6th, 2012 at 20:55 GMT		4 points
	@eab21: What, you mean you don't want to have to type in Polandia and Czechia and Hungaria and Ukrainia and Moldovia and Montenegria and Belarussia and Kosovia all separately?

	dancastro:	Feb 6th, 2012 at 21:29 GMT		3 points
	@Q_Pheevr: some of these exist actually in Spanish: Polonia, Ucrania, Moldavia, Bielorrusia and Hungría (this one with accent mark). "Chequia" didn't really catch on, much like "Czechia" in English (at least nobody so far complained about not being included in the quiz).

	milc:	Feb 6th, 2012 at 22:56 GMT		6 points
	Surprisingly difficult. Any other quiz involving the ends of country names and you can only think of ones that end in 'ia.' Given the chance to do just them and it all flips back on itself

	didn't even get halfway. Ridiculous idea.

	Jimh:	Feb 7th, 2012 at 02:38 GMT		4 points
	The only way I can imagine anyone getting all 38 of these is if they are fast typers with the countries written down in front of them. There simply isn't enough time otherwise.

	echo144:	Feb 7th, 2012 at 14:14 GMT		1 point
	Great idea, no way to complete it in time.

	Polal:	Feb 7th, 2012 at 19:35 GMT		2 points
	@Jimh/ not sure. Even with somebody close to you reading all of them, I'm not sure it is possible to tip so fast.

	chewgoo:	Feb 7th, 2012 at 20:23 GMT		2 points
	This is so addicting!

	aznemesis:	Feb 8th, 2012 at 03:12 GMT		1 point
	I like shorter blitz quizzes. I don't much care for the format with something this long, though. I'm an excellent typist, but my home computer has a horrible keyboard. (Note to HP: if I wanted an unusable, Mac-like keyboard, I'd buy a freaking Mac.) As it is, a quiz like this isn't enjoyable for me, because no matter how fast I think of them, I end up having to backspace and fix typos. More power to the people who like this kind of thing. I'm just not one of them.

	really like it, 60 sec is short tho

	krh5038:	Feb 12th, 2012 at 04:53 GMT		1 point
	Do the stats represent people who have retaken the quiz? Or does only the first one count?

	garbeark:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 21:14 GMT		0 points
	There us no way I could do this, I could barely get the first 13 Colonies in 1 minute, lol

	omly11:	Sep 28th, 2012 at 00:47 GMT		2 points
	Impossible how is someone supposed to get all of them in 1 min. Those 0.5% people are beasts

	Kagu:	Jan 5th, 2013 at 17:13 GMT		1 point
	How the hell did 200 people type names of all these countries in 60 seconds...

	kudy:	Feb 12th, 2013 at 12:14 GMT		1 point
	I got 25 out of 38 and typed like there was no tomorrow. Impossible game

	hanseliezer:	Feb 16th, 2013 at 05:11 GMT		1 point
	typed 4 countries and BOOM all countries that DOESN'T end with 'ia' starts circulating in your mind
