	Even with half the letters I struggled with Kyrgyzstan. And I have the audacity to call myself a Sporcler...

	I feel like this quiz, especially since it's geography-based, could definitely benefit from more time on the clock.

	For the two that I missed, I couldn't get other 'fake' answers out of my head. For Portugal, all I saw was Paraguay and for Mongolia, for some reason, all I could think of was Manitoba.

	^ What he said. I tried Paraguay at least three times which cost me a shot at 30/30.

	Is this the correct use of the term "every second letter" or does that term mean the same thing as "every other letter?" For example, wouldn't every second letter be _C_A_O_ as opposed to E_U_D_R? To put it yet one more way, if we're not given the second letter, how can we be given every second letter?

	i usually don't complain about time...but i really think this could benefit from being 5 min.

	I don't usually complain about people not reading the title... but when I do, it's because they didn't notice the word 'blitz'.

	Nice quiz. Happy 1st birthday, South Sudan!

	Like others, I was absolutely convinced that Paraguay was an answer. Typed it in no fewer than five times. I was convinced the quiz creator spelled it wrong. Finally a light goes on in the brain and I realized the g was in the wrong spot. And then I screw up a perfect score because I can't figure out friggin Norway. So ashamed I be.

	I kept on thinking Monrovia for Mongolia. It's not a country, dammit!

	Some of these were hard to recognize. All I saw in the Portugal one was Prussia, and Monrovia in Mongolia. Could not think of anything else.

	@BanjoZebra: South Sudan had the good idea of declaring its independence on July 9th, exactly 195 years after my country, Argentina (July 9th, 1816). This way I can remember the date easily, which can be useful in some future game. (Of course it works the other way around: if a quiz asks for the date of Argentina's independence, remember that it's the same as South Sudan's).

	Came in noticing it was a blitz quiz, which made the time about perfect I think, and perhaps even made the inevitable 'Paraguay' slip even more intense. I had typed in two more countries after Paraguay before realising none of them were working...

	For some reason, my brain was hardwired to believe that the answer to C_M_R_O_ was Comoros...

	I don't type fast enough to stand a chance on this quiz.

	Gaah...ARMENIA! It never fails: no matter what world geography quiz I take, Armenia always manages to mess with my head.

	I kind of like Kyrgyzstan's half-name, Krysa. I will name my daughter this.

	The second column seemed much easier than the first for some reason. I, too, was getting interfernece from false answers in the first column but I got everything in the second very easily.

	Fantastic quiz. 28/30 Mongolia and Taiwan were tricky, missed those.

	This quiz could use a little more time for sure.

	Even if I knew all the answers at the beginning, I'm not sure I could have gotten them all before the time limit.
