	Let me be the first to say that this quiz is impossible. You would have to be a super fast typist and never pause to think about the answer...and even then...I say its improbable.

	jcrow09:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 01:49 GMT		10 points
	Could you maybe add a minute? I only got 29.

	postpromastr:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 06:08 GMT		-1 points
	You gotta have about 2:15 or 2:30 for this one. WAY to short. I do love the quiz though.

	smarty:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 11:11 GMT		5 points
	oceania should be accepted as a continent...

Comment below threshold: show it

	conradmcmasters:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 14:32 GMT		7 points
	needs two minutes

Comment below threshold: show it

	I wouldn't really count the Southern Ocean, but if you're going to keep it on there then you should have Antarctic Ocean be an alternate name for it since it's also called that.

	newton:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 17:37 GMT		9 points
	Good challenge. I guess some people want to have the chance to get every answer right in every quiz. But I think there's a place for these ridiculous speed quizzes.

	ricestillfumbled:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 18:15 GMT		2 points
	i like it...but i am going to have to agree with adding a minute you want it challenging to get all the answers but not impossible

	Rooster:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 18:27 GMT		4 points
	It is the Southern Ocean.

	Anonymous42:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 18:29 GMT		3 points
	Normally, I would advocate adding a minute. However, the distribution of the answers seems fairly good: it's (roughly) centered, and both ends trail off nicely. Also, making this two minutes would defeat the point of the blitz (unless you added some more categories).

	Pit_trout:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 18:32 GMT		3 points
	Agreed with others, it's impossible in the time for almost anyone, but I really like that: the challenge is to get as many as you can!

	Catherine_F:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 19:07 GMT		2 points
	There's no need for a whole other minute, then it'd be too easy. Unless you add another category as well. I liked the challenge though my brain totally blanked in the last five seconds or so (I had ten things left to get.) One thing that tripped me up was the continent: you've got to take Oceania, a speed quiz is not the place to debate the best names/definitions of such things.

	adamchappelle:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 19:52 GMT		-4 points
	That's pretty ridiculous for a 60 quiz. Also, please accept Antarctic Ocean. I have never heard of it referred to as the Southern ocean.

	godpaul25:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 19:53 GMT		0 points
	Lose the southern ocean, add a minute. It is impossible to do on first try even if you were a speed typer. Still have to read the categories and take that half second to think

	ab07628:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 20:32 GMT		-1 points
	yes the southern ocean is an ocean but its not one of the major 5 oceans and thats what the quiz asks for

	emarie58:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 21:13 GMT		0 points
	take out one of the categories or add 30 seconds; other than that awesome quiz

	GeorgiaPeach:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 21:17 GMT		3 points
	Just needs to be a tad more possible. Another minute, please

	dman1:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 23:35 GMT		3 points
	MORE TIME

	universallove:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 23:36 GMT		2 points
	agree with pretty much everyone! more time or less categories..

	bsd987:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 00:28 GMT		4 points
	Need to accept Antarctic Ocean and Oceania.

	Secret_Asian_Man:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 17:07 GMT		-1 points
	I did it again but only with 6 seconds remaining :( Why am I getting worse :(

	ig1234:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 16:57 GMT		2 points
	It's the Southern ocean in my eyes, but should accept Antarctic as I think it should accept Oceania for Australia as I spent a good 5 seconds or so trying to make sure I hadn't spelt it wrong as it wasn't accepting it...

	alidee:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 19:36 GMT		1 point
	Thanks for all the comments. Just to reiterate that technically and officially it is the Southern Ocean (http://www.gdrc.org/oceans/world-oceans.html) and according to nearly every factbook I could find (and my general knowledge!) the 7th continent is definitely AUSTRALIA, not Oceania (Oceania is a geographical location used to describe countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea etc (believe me, New Zealanders would NOT like to be known as hailing from the Australian continent!) In regards to the timing, not getting 100% in every quiz is good for the competitiveness. Keep trying!!

	Secret_Asian_Man:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 23:29 GMT		-2 points
	I agree with the game contributor completely.

	ChileNoseJam:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 13:03 GMT		0 points
	I'd have said Australia refers solely to the country, the continent is AustralASia (I wasted precious seconds typing that twice and wondering why it wasn't accepted), although I admit I don't have a source for that.

	wolverine09:	Mar 11th, 2010 at 22:04 GMT		-2 points
	Jesus! This quiz is too hard

	Secret_Asian_Man:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 02:30 GMT		0 points
	Australasia is a region. Oceania is a region. Australia is a continent.

	AddiSnow:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 02:53 GMT		-3 points
	Well then alidee then by your definition Papua New Guinea doesn't belong to any continet. ChileNoseJam: Australasia is a part of Oceania. Why are you being so stubborn by not accepting Oceania? FIFA recognizes it as a continent. CIA World Factbook recognizes it. It's stupid and makes you look arrogant. Secret_Asian_Man, on the behalf of everybody: Shut up.

	kennyb:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 16:56 GMT		2 points
	The category is wrong. It should be under "typing".

	alidee:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 17:51 GMT		3 points
	ChileNoseJam - Australasia is a region of Oceania; Australia, New Zealand, the island of New Guinea, and neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean. AddiSnow - Oceania is a geographical, and often geopolitical, region consisting of numerous lands—mostly islands in the Pacific Ocean and vicinity. And FIFA doesn't recognise Oceania as a 'continent', it's a Confederation!!! (and ironically enough, Australia doesn't fall under this Confederation when it comes to football, it competes in the Asian Confederation!)

	Secret_Asian_Man:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 23:07 GMT		3 points
	The continent Australia encompasses Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, and the islands also associated with the region of Oceania. If you're going to use FIFA as your source, then Australia must be a part of Asia. Why don't you learn what you're talking about.

	Apollo846:	Mar 29th, 2010 at 06:11 GMT		1 point
	alidee is right, Australia is a continent, and Oceania is a region. Fiji, and Tonga, and all those little islands are in Oceania, not Australia. A lot of them aren't even on the same tectonic plate as Australia...

	Apollo846:	Mar 29th, 2010 at 06:12 GMT		1 point
	Instead of adding more time, take away the "countries that start with A," and add something easier. The only way that that category would be remotely possible is if it was written down ahead of time and that's no fun...

	staircase:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 04:05 GMT		1 point
	have you aced this quiz in a minute?

	jmatt22397:	Mar 24th, 2011 at 20:03 GMT		1 point
	I did write down the answers ahead of time just to see if it was possible. It took 49 seconds just to get all of the countries. I'm not a really fast typer, but I'm not that slow.

	RobPro:	Feb 9th, 2012 at 11:58 GMT		1 point
	Since when, on Sporcle, has Australia been taken over Oceania as a continent. Poor.

	chriskotx:	Feb 10th, 2012 at 04:47 GMT		1 point
	I dont like typing quizzes or spelling quizzes on Sporcle.
