	My thought process: "Oh, this looks like a fun quiZOMG IT'S A BLITZ PANIC PANIC PANIC"

	Svestus:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 05:47 GMT	106 points
	Yeah, I didn't realize until I saw the ten second flash that the quiz was so short. I hadn't even looked past the presidents yet. Great quiz, I would just like a tad more time.

	I think Laos is two syllables as well

	MilanaWSoleil:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 06:26 GMT	7 points
	great idea, surprisingly tough!

	"Laos" can be pronounced as two syllables, but it's usually pronounced (at least in the US) as one syllable--like "louse."

	NightOwl:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 06:55 GMT	39 points
	According to my dictionary, while Laos can be pronounced as one syllable, the preferred pronunciation, and the one I've always heard used by broadcasters, is as two syllables with the accent on the first syllable.

	ExileFromGroggs:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 08:43 GMT	12 points
	I think Laos is technically a diphthong, which is really one longish vowel sound - so CVC - one syllable. I'd go with the creator of the quiz on this one. (I still didn't get Laos!)

	EyeKanFly:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 09:35 GMT	25 points
	I missed Laos also, and I've heard it pronounced both as one syllable and two syllables. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia both say it can be pronounced either way. I would turn it into a bonus answer if I were you. Great quiz either way! The blitz made it so much more fun. If a few more minutes were added it would've been easier, but the time crunch makes it more enjoyable

	Good quiz, need more time though!

	singin185:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 10:50 GMT	21 points
	That truly is a blitz! With only a minute, I didn't have a chance!

	cmkeller:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 11:03 GMT	22 points
	Definitely needs more time

	Really good idea! Tough though.

	@soaf: not if you live in Pittsburgh. Ahrn.

	Meadowwind:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 11:39 GMT	20 points
	Iron is two syllables unless you come from the Southern United States. Then, and I believe only then, is it "Ahrn."

	chrispaz:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 12:17 GMT	11 points
	Great idea for a quiz, but not enough time.

	CheekyMunky:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 12:50 GMT	33 points
	Agree with the above, I don't see a need for this to be a blitz. It's enough of a challenge to come up with all of them, particularly the countries, presidents, and elements.

	pator:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 12:51 GMT	-3 points
	Very tough with that time limit, I managed 14/23.

	BonnieH:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 12:58 GMT	14 points
	Not nearly enough time. :( Like the concept and I was sorry I didn't notice how low the time limit was to start with or I would've unchecked the "show me missed answers" box and tried again.

	roonilwazlib:	Feb 15th, 2011 at 13:55 GMT	10 points
	Agree with most of the commenters. Great quiz, not enough time.

	joeplus - yes, Guam is one syllable but it's not a country (or anything else listed in this quiz) so wouldn't feature anyway.
