Completing BLIND Map Snippet Quizzes on Sporcle @JackSucksAtLife @JackSucksAtStuff on JackSucksAtGeography we upload a range of easy to watch & sometimes educational geography related content. I have successfully learned all 197 countries and flags of the world. I also look at interesting maps to teach us more about different parts of the world and their culture. On this channel I also play Geoguessr.

Today we are back on Sporkle with my favourite game mode, it's Map Snippets
0:04
As you can see, I have played Map Snippets a lot, I love this game mode
0:08
and I think eventually I plan to complete every single one on Sporkle, there are many many to get through
0:14
Today we are specifically doing the semi-blind ones, which means the first country that is revealed to me is not labelled
0:20
and I have to try and work out which country it is from its outline. If you've not seen Map Snippets before, it'll make sense in just a second
0:26
I have 17 countries to name in three minutes, so let's get on with it. Okay, so first country we're
0:31
given is Ukraine, which means Russia is going to take up quite a bit of space. There you go
0:36
Hopefully now you get how to play. I have to name all 17 countries that would appear within this
0:40
square based on scale. So it's going to be a lot of Europe. I guess Romania is going to get in there
0:46
and Greece will be underneath that with Bulgaria maybe squeezing in somewhere. Bulgaria, let's see
0:53
Yep, there we go. Does hungary get in there at all? It does just in the corner that shape there is
0:58
Moldova. So let's do that one. None of them are labeled. So I have to remember what i've clicked
1:03
Okay, so from here, we're gonna have like albania is albania not one i am thrown off. Let's do turkey
1:09
That'll be a big one cyprus. Is that is that gonna squeeze in let's have a look. Oh god
1:14
It isn't does malta. Oh, no, georgia then we're gonna have to like work our way over azerbaijan
1:20
um, Armenia, oh, I don't know, Jordan, no, Syria, yeah, does Kazakhstan get in, I don't know, Kazakhstan
1:30
it does, just a tiny bit, so is this the Aral Sea, is that what that's called, I might be wrong
1:35
I'll check after, Iran, yes, Iraq, yes, okay, two left, Afghanistan, are we that far over
1:42
no, we're not, I've forgotten what I've done, Lebanon, is that gonna, no, it's not, Israel
1:46
Are they gonna squeeze it? No, they're not. So I think it's it's somewhere over here. Maybe, uh, so we've done Kazakhstan
1:52
So maybe I should try like Uzbekistan or something like that. No Turkmenistan is that good. It's not
1:58
What is it? So 10 seconds iraq iran pakistan's definitely way too far away
2:03
I'm, not gonna get it. Okay, what did we miss? Oh I was on the wrong side. Oh, wow
2:09
Not having the outlines really does make it so much harder because you you kind of lose your bearings a bit
2:15
when you've just got a big clump like this over in the left. Serbia and North Macedonia
2:19
I tried Albania, and because Albania wasn't on there, I was like, ah, it mustn't be that portion of the Europe
2:25
So this is the kind of region it was. This is the Caspian Sea. Where's the Aral Sea
2:29
Ah, it's a kind of dried up sea over to the west of the Caspian Sea. I don't know why I got those mixed up
2:33
Okay, well, it's quite a difficult precedent. I think I might be in some trouble today
2:38
We are moving on to the next one. I have 19 to name this time, so even more than the last one
2:43
And sometimes these contain territories as well. So hopefully we recognize the first country or we are screwed. Oh my, I think that's is it Cameroon
2:52
I'm gonna do Namibia. Oh, no I'm gonna do equatorial guinea. Come on. Oh, no, I don't think it is Cameroon. Where is that
3:03
Oh, man, okay, okay Wait, it's eritrea or jibouti or something like that. Let's do jibouti. I think that's eritrea. So oman yemen
3:09
We should be okay now saudi arabia. There you go. That's a big one
3:14
ethiopia nice sudan south sudan i'll squeeze in then somalia we're doing good we're doing good
3:22
uh we can do uae we could do it's kuwait there it is what's the other one qatar do they do they
3:28
pop up they do yeah we're doing quite nice we've got loads of time as well so egypt yep um is it
3:36
algeria no it's not what's the one out of chad there you go but we still missing the one next
3:41
to egypt it's not libya it is libya for some reason libya and algeria always get mixed up so
3:45
i don't think there's gonna be much else here i think this is probably all sea so it's this region
3:50
that i want to do now i guess maldives won't pop up right no it's worth trying them though so i've
3:55
only got four left so from oman we move up to iran yeah does iraq get in there it doesn't literally
4:02
just three left i'm trying india just to see if there's like a little island or something what
4:07
else do we have could we have lebanon in this region no is there somewhere oh i'm missing one
4:12
down here okay so under sudan is it drc is it central african republic it is okay two left and
4:19
it's gonna be whatever this is in this little nibban and then maybe something here as well i
4:24
don't remember what i've done here i think this is iran afghanistan maybe pakistan there we go
4:30
that's one we have just one to get and 30 seconds to do it i don't know where it is that's the
4:36
the trouble Oh no what it going to be Where is it It going to be somewhere up here UAE Qatar Kuwait Is there another sort of small Middle Eastern country Is it Bahrain Oh my God Bahrain
4:49
I got it, 100%. Beautiful, look at that. Bahrain, I always forget that one
4:55
That's how I would say it properly, I think. What's the average Sporkel score? 16 of 19
4:59
No big deal. I actually 100% did, so I don't worry about it. Okay, we did well there
5:03
given the fact that I couldn't think what country that was to begin with
5:06
But yeah, of course it was Eritrea. All right, where are we gonna have this time? 23 to name so we're getting like more and more countries each time hopefully we recognize the
5:14
first one i don't recognize the first one oh that's so lucky i tried drc and we got it straight
5:21
away so that is very very helpful i can't think what country that is so we'll just have to name
5:25
the ones around it equatorial guinea we're getting quite a nice amount here this is going to be a
5:31
good one, Seotome and Principe, yes, Ghana, Benin, and Togo, okay, Nigeria, Ivory Coast is probably too
5:41
far over, yeah, okay, so, we need to work our way down, so, Namibia, no, Angola, fair enough, fair
5:49
enough, Botswana might be at the bottom, is that what that is, it isn't, okay, but I guess, Kenya
5:55
yeah and tanzania got something in my eye now is not the time uh rwanda please and burundi i think
6:03
yeah and uganda oh we are getting through them right now malawi i think is somewhere yeah there
6:10
we go mozambique might squeeze in it does still got something in my eye we're powering through
6:16
though zimbabwe no zambia yes now are these small regions or are these lakes i think they're like
6:22
lakes so up is where i need to go so somalia might pop up it doesn't ethiopia then ethiopia surely a
6:30
bit of it and then is that south sudan i think so we have two left so i think that's gonna be niger
6:36
it isn't have i done cameroon see this is what happens you forget what you've already tried
6:41
what's that gonna be then is it republic of the congo republic of the congo it isn't
6:47
Hmm. I don't think i'm gonna be able to think what these are. Could it be something over here
6:52
I don't think it could I can't think of another region that's in the water other than seotome and principe
6:57
Definitely this is it a little bit of libya. No, it isn't is it a bit of algeria? No, is it a bit of egypt
7:05
Gotta try them. Can I spell egypt? It's not that okay 20 seconds and I don't think I can get the last two
7:10
I mean i'm gonna try a couple of of territories just in case that did not work so it's definitely here and maybe there's something
7:18
down here what is it chad i didn't do chad and gabon okay i often forget gabon sorry gabon guys
7:25
if you're watching from gabon leave a comment and if you're watching from anywhere else please check
7:29
your subscribes that would be very helpful i would love to get to 1.9 million at some point okay we
7:34
still did good apparently we are 999999 and a million so that's wait is that an insult i thought
7:42
they were being nice. They might be being rude. I don't know. We did still beat the average score
7:47
though. So let's go again. Semi-blind five. So we've not recognized the last two countries off
7:52
the bat, but we've managed to work it out within the timeframe. So maybe this time we will spot it
7:56
straight away. That is Ireland. So we can have UK. Does Iceland get in? It does. Then France is
8:03
oh, we're too far up for France. Germany's going to make appearance though. Denmark
8:07
uh netherlands belgium we only have 15 to name here this should be belgium's not in there okay
8:13
sweden norway finland looking good so from there we'll do will that be again it will lithuania
8:21
and estonia there you go so now we can do poland we can do ukraine no belarus yes does russia get
8:31
involved it does we did it that was way too easy took us 40 seconds i wish you'd started with that
8:36
one. The other ones have been way harder. Let's just keep going. We'll move straight on to semi-blind
8:40
6. 21 to name here. We've not had any in the Americas yet. We've had sort of Europe and Asia
8:45
and Africa. So I have a feeling this might be, oh no, I take it back. That is Croatia. So we can do
8:50
Bosnia and Herzegovina. It's so annoying to type Herzegovina. There you go. Italy will be a lot of
8:59
this. I always put a U when trying to spell Italy to begin with. Switzerland, Austria. Oh, sorry
9:04
Austria, nope, I've put Australia Austria, there it is Oh, there's quite a few to name
9:10
France, Spain Portugal, okay, looking good Andorra, oh, we've got All the little places, Vatican
9:18
Monaco, this will help us out San Marino Luxembourg is that getting in Luxembourg it isn but I bet Liechtenstein is there it is nice and then uh Slovakia will get in there Slovenia I think too Czechia there you know have I not done Germany I haven done Germany
9:37
there you go come on Jack get your head in the game okay Albania I think it doesn't what have
9:43
we got here Greece oh no Hungary have I done Hungary there we go Romania no Cyprus no Cyprus
9:51
won't be in, but Malta will, right? It isn't. I'm gonna have to try Cyprus. I'm panicking. Okay
9:56
Tunisia. Uh, Morocco? No. Libya. Algeria. Egypt. Egypt's always squeezing in. Apart from today
10:05
What are we forgetting here? Bulgaria? Let's try Bulgaria. No. I'm doing Serbia then. Ah
10:10
it was Serbia. Okay. And then there is still one left and it's right here. I can surely get that
10:15
I'm really surprised it's not Albania. Montenegro. Let's try that one. It's gotta be. Yeah, we got
10:20
there, we got there, we got there, okay, phew, see, I don't like just spamming loads of countries
10:24
because it feels a bit cheaty, you know, but, uh, we still did well there, once again, we've beaten
10:28
the average, so I'm happy, and with 30 seconds remaining, by the way, okay, will we recognize
10:32
this one, only 17 to go, uh, right, we've got big old panhandle, I think that is Namibia, Angola
10:38
there you go, uh, South Africa, let's get it, nice, and then we'll do Eswatini, and, uh, Lesotho
10:46
the suatu we'll have botswana we'll have um zimbabwe and zambia uh from there we'll have
10:55
mozambique nice madagascar will give us a good sense of scale madagascar there you go uh we'll
11:04
have comoros and seychelles please one nope seychelles is not there does maldives make an
11:10
appearance it doesn't okay we'll have malawi we'll have a few crossovers from the last one here
11:16
Tanzania? Yep. Have I done all of the island countries that would be visible? Comoros, Seychelles
11:22
There's another M. It's not Mauritania. Mali, Malawi, Mauritius. It's Mauritius. Home of the
11:29
Dodor. There you go. That's squeezed in. So it's up here that I haven't got yet. Let's do DRC. Nice
11:34
Okay, we've kind of, I think, filled in the continent there. I think this is Lake Malawi
11:39
but don't quote me on that. We know I'm not great with my bodies of water. Two left. Is there
11:44
something else down here have i done malawi i have haven't i yeah i think mozambique is on the
11:49
outside right maybe something else i just squeeze in but madagascar's pretty far down like we're a
11:53
long way from stuff like saudi arabia we've still got a minute left i don't think i'm gonna get it
11:59
we've well and truly filled all of this in right so it must be like an island that i'm forgetting
12:03
wait france is it reunion island or something that was it okay here is reunion island and
12:10
there's Mauritius. So you can see that is the only one that we were missing there. But we got there
12:14
I had to think outside the box slightly. You know what? I am always going to think that the Caspian
12:19
Sea is the Aral Sea. I can just see that happening for the rest of my life. I'm never going to be
12:23
able to get that out of my head now. We're now on semi-blind eight. Here we go. Also, shout out to
12:28
Minecraft Enchantments for teaching me these basic Roman numerals. Oh, only 10 to get, but we have a
12:34
minute less to do it. So I'm curious. Is this going to be really easy or is this going to be really
12:38
hard. Let's have a look. Oh no, I don't know where that is. DRC. What country is that? Where are we
12:47
here? China. Russia. Peru. Oh no, UK. France. Where would this be? I have no sense of scale or anything
12:55
right now. It must be in Africa, right? Ghana. Nigeria. South Africa. I think I'd recognize it
13:02
though. Now, it's got to be in Asia somewhere. Pakistan. India. Oh, no. UAE. Saudi Arabia
13:09
Australia. Where are we right now? Shout out to you if you've worked out which country this is
13:13
It is confusing me. I feel like we're really close. USA. Mexico. I'm like, where are we right
13:19
now? Belize. Come on. Oh, no. Indonesia. No. Vietnam. Where are we? For 40 seconds
13:27
I've named so many different places in the world. Wait, I'm pausing it. I've tried like
13:31
every region, right? How have I not got anywhere? Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
13:35
can you complete the map by naming each Canadian province? Well, that information would certainly
13:41
have helped out. Right, we're refreshing. Alberta. Wow, what a surprise. Yamaka. Oh
13:48
God, I've forgotten them all. Oh, no. Uh, Yukon? Yeah. Prince Edward Island? No. Okay, Nova Scotia
13:59
Please No Okay British Columbia British Columbia Yeah nice B A S This one begins with S Saskatchewa I think I so close but I can remember it Is it like saskatchewa i can remember it that a shame all right so there the big one right in the north here but i not
14:21
kept revising them i did learn them a couple of months ago i haven't kept up to the learning so
14:25
they've kind of all gone back out of my head i'm actually quite happy to have gotten four
14:29
nova scotia might be on there you know maybe i'm just spelling it wrong is it like that no okay i'm
14:34
We're going to give up on this one. Let's see where we missed. Quebec. Ontario
14:38
Oh, there's Saskatchewan, which I was so close to. I did try with an S
14:42
I think I'd put an E instead of an A. Northwest Territories, Nunavut
14:46
And New Finland. Oh, come on, Jack. I should have got those. This is number nine, but it's US states
14:53
So much, much better at my countries than my states and provinces. But I think I'll be able to get at least over half
14:59
So let's see how we get on. Okay. Let's do Texas. I can't quite remember where that is, but I think we'll be fine. New Mexico. There you go. Let's do
15:10
Kansas. That's around here, right? Utah? No. Oklahoma. That might have been Oklahoma at the
15:17
start. M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. Louisiana? No. Alabama? Yeah. Nice. I'm sure Louisiana's there
15:28
I may be spelling it wrong. Louisiana. No. Let's do Kentucky. Let's do Indiana. We're doing all
15:37
right. We've got half now. Arizona. No. Arkansas. Yes. What's under Kentucky? Tennessee, I think
15:45
isn't it? Tennessee. Tennessee. Oh, the spelling. I have not researched this. Tennessee. Tennessee
15:53
Tennessee. How do I not know this? Tennessee. There you go. It was double N. Okay. Right. We've got six left
16:01
Wyoming? Yep. I don't think Wisconsin's there, but I'm trying it. South Dakota, I think, is too far north
16:09
But yeah, it is. It was worth a try. Nevada? Or is it Nebraska? Yes. Well, Nebraska's on there
16:15
So I think I pretty much fill in the whole thing, right? Like, there shouldn't be any blue, but I can't think what they are
16:21
Missouri Missouri wait, maybe it's Missouri. Yes, I thought so Michigan. We'll give it a try. Nope
16:29
We're wrong. What did I miss? Let me know Iowa Illinois. I say I knew there were more eyes
16:33
Colorado was the other one I missed as well. We did okay not amazing right phew we're back to
16:38
countries for semi-blind x this is our bread and butter. I'm gonna claim that I'm gonna get all 18
16:43
on this one and then if I do please subscribe if you're not already subscribed so let's give it a
16:48
goal hopefully i recognize it oh i think we're okay that's cyprus so might have nope we don't
16:54
have isla but we do have algeria we have egypt making a comeback uh libya tunisia morocco should
17:02
be over in the corner there yeah there we go right we're gonna have sudan chad uh niger nigeria
17:08
might make it in no it doesn't does ghana no so where are we here does burkina faso get in burkina
17:14
Faso. Let's have a look. It doesn't. I'm going to come back to that region. Let's do
17:18
Saudi Arabia if it's on there. And Lebanon, Israel, Palestine. Come on, we're getting there. Syria
17:28
Jordan. Turkey's not going to be there, is it? No. We've got three left, so I think they're down
17:33
here. So, wait, where is this? This is Egypt. So, is this like Eritrea then? It is. So, now it's
17:39
just down here. Cameroon? How's Cameroon not there? I've got two left. I think I've filled
17:45
this up. I think it is just down here. I know these aren't going to be right, but I just can't
17:49
think what else to put there. Republic of the Congo. We've not had that one yet. Republic of
17:53
the Congo. Come on. Ah, DRC. I need people to subscribe. Oh no. Does Malta make an appearance
18:00
It doesn't. France, please. Maybe there's a UK territory. Oh no. I say the trouble is I forgot
18:05
what's here already i think niger was like a big portion right i feel like i've named everything
18:11
mali we got one so i just i'm trying to work out where it is is it this in the corner 30 seconds
18:16
to get one more is it yemen it's not yemen it must be somewhere up here then but i can't think what
18:21
oh god no i'm gonna kick myself i'm sure what is it greece it was a teeny bit of greece ah
18:29
Okay, well, you don't have to subscribe. I didn't earn it. I mean, if you want to, I'd appreciate it
18:36
but I did not earn it. So it's undeserved, to be honest. I cannot believe a teeny bit of grease caught me out
18:41
I was so thrown off here, but eventually we did manage to work out Mali. We still beat the average ever so slightly though
18:46
So I hold my head up high. Thank you very much for watching. I love doing these math snippets
18:50
Subscribe for more of them, please. You know, you don't have to. And let me know what other Sparkle games
18:54
you'd like to see me try in the comments below. All right, thanks, and I'll see you later
