Maybe this was clear for other people, but I tried to guess only countries beginning with J at first. Anyway, adding it in the question wouldn't hurt anyone.

Sorry about that. I changed it to "containing" instead of "with".

Great quiz! I kept thinking of countries with a "g" pronounced like a "j" (Nigeria, Algeria...), getting momentarily excited, and then deflated. :)

You know you are on Sporcle too much when the only ones you miss are Japan and Jamaica

What does "not verified by Sporcle" mean? Anyway, good quiz. I missed one - the one starting with A.

I think I was focusing too much on countries where a J is not the first letter...I missed Jordan and Jamaica. :X

Great quiz, though can't believe I missed Jordan. Also, how about adding Libyan Arab Jamahiriya as a bonus?

Sadly you can only do 1 minute intervals, and 3 minutes seemed like it was too much

I find it interesting how geographically varied that list is. The only region not really represented is Europe.

@micah - I was doing the same thing - thinking of cities and them going "d'oh!" Jerusalem, Jakarta - yeah, those don't really help. I got 5/7, managed to miss Japan (duh) and Fiji. I will confess I sat there and thought about it for a minute or two before starting the quiz, which I guess is technically cheating. Fun quiz, though - I'd love to see these for any uncommon letter (is there a z one already? I can't remember....)

Thanks to Sporcle I can now run through the countries north west to south east in just over 2 minutes, so I just got Japan, but missed Fiji

Nice idea for a quiz but I think we could have had way more time. 2 minutes should be for things that really don't need much thought but have to be typed quickly. This needed plenty of thought and I would have been happy with 5 minutes. The quiz is about naming countries, not thinking fast and the short time spoiled it a little for me.

LIke it!! Can't believe I missed the two in Central Asia - kind of mentally scanned passed the whole area and became fixated on Africa for some reason! Should get 100% next time tho ;o)

Missed Jordan, Azerbaijan and Fiji. It was quite hard because in Polish we pronounce "j" as "y".

The countries I got came up in alphabetical order, so I was trying to guess things in between Japan and Jordan, when there are none. I should really stop relying on the alphabetical thing!

hvdm: Tajikistan is actually very nice. I went there as a teenager and the friendliest people i've ever met were Tajik's.
