Today, I am playing increasingly difficult country quizzes, starting with countries by first and last letter
0:07
So, in theory, this shouldn't be too difficult. There are 20 countries to name, and I only have four minutes to do so
0:12
And as you can see, I'm given the first and the last letter of each one. So, I guess we see what happens
0:16
I can think of the first one. That would be Fiji. E, I am not immediately getting anything
0:21
So, we'll skip it for now. We'll come back to it, because we've got Jamaica for the next one. What's G? Guyana? Guinea? Guinea-Bissau
0:28
Oh, a tricky one. Okay, K to O would be Kosovo. L to O would be..
0:34
We'll come back to it. N would be... Is it... No, it's not Netherlands
0:39
That's just Netherlands. So what ends with D? I'm not sure. We'll come back to it
0:43
We'll come back to it. I would be Iran. V would be Venezuela
0:47
Spell it, Jack. There you go. You got it. B to M. Belgium, please
0:52
Thank you. There you go. F to D would be Finland. d to i would be jibouti there you go n to s that's netherlands there you go netherlands okay so we're
1:04
halfway there h to s is honduras p to l would be portugal u to y would be uruguay there you go i
1:12
sometimes worry about the spelling but we did it t to e uh tuvalu trinidad's big old oh it's timor
1:20
lest timor lest has an e on the end doesn't it s to l is senegal c to n canadian nope uh cameroon
1:27
cameroon cameroon there you go p to y paraguay okay we've got through most of them i'm missing
1:34
three and one of them's this early one e to t weird what is that i don't know l to all
1:40
lesoto lesoto lesoto there you go lesuto i don't know how to say it n to d what is n to d so we
1:48
have two minutes to name these last two. So we've got Namibia, we've got Nauru, we've got
1:57
I don't know, Netherlands? No, we've done that one. Niger, Nigeria, North Korea, North, anything
2:04
else North? I don't think so. I don't know. I'm really stuck with that one. And E and T as well
2:08
I bet they're both really obvious too. E to T. Egypt. It's Egypt. There you go. So it's literally
2:14
just this last one. Oh, that's annoying. I bet so many of you know it right now as well. I bet it's
2:19
not even the most obscure on here. You know, I got Guinea Basal, but I can't get N to D. Oh
2:23
it's just not coming to me. It is not coming to me. Nepal? No. It's New Zealand. It's New Zealand. I just got it. I just got it. Thank God. That was as amazing
2:36
as watching an avocado ride a unicorn. Right. Okay. Now we move on to country sets. Can you
2:41
in the countries that fit into this criteria? Now we have 40 to name in only six minutes, so I may
2:48
struggle here. I don't think I'm going to get them all, but we'll see what happens. So let's just
2:52
crack on, I reckon. Countries beginning with the letters GU. Okay, we've got Guyana. We've got
2:57
let's come back to it. Countries with capital starting with Y. Oh man, this might be too
3:04
difficult for me. Countries bordering Thailand. Yeah, let's do that one. Vietnam. Nope. Laos
3:10
Slousal border. Yeah, there you go. Cambodia, do they squeeze in? Yeah, they do. There's two more
3:15
apparently. Indonesia? No, I meant Malaysia. There you go. And then, is the last one going to be
3:21
like, Bangladesh? Bangladesh. Let's see. It's not. Is it a bit of India? Okay, we'll come back to
3:27
that. Non-UK countries with the Union drags their flags. All right, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji
3:33
and another one. Hmm. I think it's another oceanic country. Are they all oceanic
3:39
uh is it tuvalu oh nice countries that are baltic states estonia lithuania and latvia okay that was
3:49
easy countries with second letter zed oh azerbaijan wait there you go second letter zed can i think
3:57
of another one apparently there's three we'll leave it for now countries landlocked by only one
4:02
other country lesotho ezwati no it wouldn't be ezwati would it hmm okay i'll come back to that
4:09
Countries bordering Honduras, Costa Rica. I'm going to be honest. I just going to plow through all the Central American ones here El Salvador There you go Nicaragua Yes And then one more Not Panama Not Costa Rica Belize It got to be Belize right Oh it not Belize Okay we leave it for now West
4:28
African Island countries. Seotolme and Principe. Nice. And Cape Verde. Yes. Caribbean countries
4:37
bordering each other. Dominican Republic? Yes. Okay. And Haiti? Yes. Countries sandwiched between
4:47
India and China. Nepal and Bhutan. Okay. Countries containing the letter X. Ooh
4:58
We'll come back to it. We'll come back to it. Countries with a capital starting with a Q. I don't know. I'm gonna try another Q country. No, one country showing its name of the US state
5:08
Georgia country with more than 10 million kilometers squared Russia country that contains the consecutive letters
5:14
ZS. Okay, we've officially read them all and we've got 23 out of 40. So we're over halfway which I'm quite happy with
5:21
I do not really know my capitals Why I think there's an oceanic country that's its capitals like Yamaha or something
5:29
So I'm gonna just try Solomon Islands. Nope. So at this point, we've got to kind of brute force it. Solomon Islands, Nauru. Yes, Yaron. So not Yamaha, but yeah, you can see it was somewhere in my brain. Okay, countries that begin with the letter GU. I should get them all. Particularly, I've just warmed up as well. Oh, it's the Guineas. Guinea, Guinea, Bissau, and Guinea. Ooh, not Papua New Guinea, not Equatorial Guinea. Maybe it isn't another Guinea. I can't think. You would think that would be so obvious when you're looking at it with a G and a U
5:59
Okay, we'll leave it. Countries born in Honduras. How have I not got a limb? Oh, it'll be Guatemala
6:03
Guatemala. Hang on. Guatemala. Guatemala. There you go. Oh, wait
6:15
That's so weird, isn't it? How did my brain remember it there, but forget it here where it's arguably more obvious
6:20
All right, I'd love another double, please. We've got 28 out of 40 with a minute and a half. Countries landlocked by one other country
6:27
What could that be? Hmm. We've got the Soto. It's going to be somewhere else kind of small
6:33
Oh, Vatican and San Marino. Nice. One minute left. Countries with a second letter Z. It's got to start with a vowel, right
6:44
Oh, Uzbekistan. There you go. And can I think of another one? No, I can't
6:50
And then we've got the countries that contain consecutive letters ZS. Like, I have no idea what that is. Countries containing the letter X
6:58
We've got only 19 seconds. I'd love to get just one or two more. How do I not know countries that have the letter X in them
7:04
I'm not going to get them. But honestly, we did have a good crack of that. 31 out of 40. So what did we miss
7:08
Okay, these are the tricky ones because I just don't know my capitals. Myanmar. I think I thought I got all of these and I may have given up
7:15
Luxembourg has got X. Mexico. Such common countries there. Mexico. I know a lot of people will have been kicking themselves for that one
7:22
Oh, and Ecuador with Quito. I learned that as well. I just have since forgotten it, I guess
7:27
Oh, countries containing consecutive letters ZS. I know people are being screaming this one at me
7:33
because I'm famously remembering and misremembering Kyrgyzstan. All right, 78% actually is not too bad
7:39
It did beat the average score. I'm going to take that one. Countries starting with vowels
7:43
35 to name. Oh, that's a lot of countries. How many do you think we'll do
7:48
If I can get 75%, I will be happy. Start with the easy one
7:52
Oman. Then let's do Uruguay. I'm working my way backwards, you know
7:55
Uruguay, Uzbekistan. We've just had that little fella with the Z. Uzbekistan. There you go
8:01
Let's just keep things moving. Let's do Angola. Let's do Azerbaijan. Let's do Armenia
8:11
Albania, please. Thank you. We've made a lovely little pattern here of alternating boxes. Very
8:16
nice. Let's do Ethiopia. Let's do Eritrea. Let's do Egypt. Nice. For eye, we haven't got any eyes
8:25
So we will drop indonesia. There it is. We'll do india. We'll do iran iraq
8:32
Nice I love when it one of those because you always get a freebie with the other one That nearly half but we have plenty time So let not panic Let work our way around the map now that we got anything that comes into my head straight away Wait wait wait Equatorial Guinea Nice Thank you Did I say thank you to myself there
8:47
I guess so. Algeria. Nice. Oh, Antigua and Barbuda. Nice. Lovely. Look at that. And now it's time to
8:56
work my way around the visual map, I think. Oh, I haven't done Ecuador. There it is. I think that
9:03
is probably it for South America. Yeah, I'm happy to move on. So Africa, let's work our way around
9:08
Have I done Angola? Yes, I have. Okay. There's got to be some A's in Africa that I'm missing. For E
9:13
oh, this is harder than I thought, you know. I don't seem to have much of Europe covered, so let's just think about Europe again. Italy. Italy. Oh my god, such an obvious one. Andorra
9:21
as well. There you go. That's another. Okay, we're making progress now. We have dented it officially
9:25
Keep going around Europe. I think that was definitely helping. I can think of so many S countries, but I do not need those right now. Okay, Oceania I haven't thought of once yet. Is
9:33
there anything in Oceania? Australia. Oh my God. How do I get Antigua and Barbuda before Australia
9:41
Okay, Asia's got to be where they're all hiding. It's the only continent left. Come on, Jack. Just
9:45
going to work my way around. India, Bhutan, Nepal, China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia
9:51
United Arab Emirates, UAE, Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Israel. There we
9:59
go. I've only got 50 seconds. We've got 23, 35. Come on, get two more at least. Georgia, Azerbaijan
10:04
Armenia. Have I done that one? Yes, I have. Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Afghanistan
10:11
There we go. That's another one. Come on, one more. Yeah, two more or less. Singapore, Malaysia
10:19
Indonesia. Oh, I've already said it. All right. Here's, we missed Argentina. There was one hiding
10:26
in South America. Oh, that's so annoying. It's not even like it was hiding. It's really massive
10:32
Jack. Austria, El Salvador, Estonia, Europe, Europe, Europe, Europe, Europe, Europe, Europe
10:37
oh, Europe, no, Europe. So many in Europe that I did not get. I didn't get my own country that I'm
10:45
literally in right now. It's not ideal. 69% there. The average score is 75%. So I would say that I
10:51
officially did let myself down on that one. It is weird how many European ones I missed there. I
10:55
know there'll be some screaming in the comments but i mean it's a jack six drop for the upload there's always people screaming in the comments right we're straight to the next one bordering
11:02
large countries can you name the countries of border the 10 largest countries in the world
11:06
let's see so when i'm not trying to think of letters this is me actually visualizing a map
11:11
i think i'll be a bit better there are 63 to name here which is a lot but i think i can redeem
11:17
myself here it may be famous last words though should we give it a go we've got six minutes so
11:21
i need to name basically 10 a minute and i think that should be okay so for canada we'll do you
11:25
USA off the bat, and then we'll do Canada for USA. We can also do Mexico
11:30
So that's those two gone. Easy, don't even need to think about it. Russia, we can do China, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Armenia, I assume
11:38
No. All right, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. We've got Ukraine. We've got Belarus, Kosovo
11:47
We'll try it. No, Kosovo is not there, but Moldova will be. Moldova, that's the one
11:51
No, I'm wrong. Okay. Just kind of trying anything in that region. so let's leave it for now we'll come back to it we've got China we'll do Russia we will do
12:00
India I'm gonna work my way through the stance to Jakistan Uzbekistan Oh Kyrgyzstan spell it
12:08
right nice so we're accidentally filling in some of the others which is good as well uh Afghanistan
12:13
I think so yeah Pakistan probably some yep there we go so what's happening is we're accidentally
12:19
just filling in them all so I suppose that's how we'll manage to get through the time limit because
12:23
we're nearly at halfway already. All right, does Iran get in there or Iraq? No, they don't. Okay
12:27
that's quite a nice amount there. So for India, let's do Myanmar and see, look, I love how they
12:33
just fill up in multiple areas. Myanmar, we can have Nepal, we can have Bhutan. That's going to
12:38
help us out in both areas. One more for India. It's not going to be Sri Lanka, is it? I just
12:43
wondered if they had a little territory on the island somewhere. Bhutan, Myanmar, China, Nepal
12:47
Pakistan. What's going to be the other one for India? Would it be a little bit Thailand? No
12:51
it wouldn We come back to it We come back to it Let do South America So we do Argentina Brazil uh Paraguay I basically just name every country here and I think it pretty much fill me up So Uruguay Peru Suriname Guyana Colombia
13:06
anyone? Yeah. Ecuador, go on. No, Ecuador, so far, only South American country to not touch Brazil
13:11
or Argentina, which makes sense with its position. Venezuela will though, won't it? Okay, two more for
13:16
Brazil. Ooh, it wouldn't be France, would it? Oh, it is France with the overseas territory. A little
13:22
bit sneaky there. All right, I've gotten distracted and I'm not being keeping track. What's the one
13:26
that I have missed? Oh, it'll be Bolivia. There you go. All right, that's Brazil officially full
13:31
So 45 of 63, still got a lot of time. Let's get Algeria out of the way. So we'll do Mali. We will
13:37
do Egypt. No, not Egypt. Okay. Mauritania? Trying to visualize it. So Algeria is more over this side
13:45
So, Niger, Nigeria. No, Nigeria doesn't fit either. It'll be Tunisia and Morocco, right
13:54
Okay, one more that I'm missing for Algeria, but I'm thinking I should come back to it
13:57
and try and get some of these rushes down because there's a bit of a gap here, I'm not going to lie. Ooh, South Korea
14:03
That'll get... No, North Korea, though. That'll get some. There you go. Couple there
14:07
Where else would Russia be touching? It's not going to have USA on there
14:11
No, I didn't think so. 52 of 63 with our final minute coming up. What have I missed for Argentina
14:15
Ah, is it going to be UK? No, it is not. Oh, Chile. I've not got Chile yet
14:19
There you go. It's annoying when you have just one missing, which is actually a bunch of them now
14:23
but Russia has got a lot of gaps. Um, where else is Russia going to be touching
14:27
Is there anywhere else in Europe, do you think? It's going to be Finland probably, actually. Yeah, definitely
14:31
Come on, Jack. Get yours in the game, bro. 54. We've only got nine left
14:35
so we've done quite well. Get one more, Jack. You've got this. Japan. Just chucking it in
14:38
I don't know why. Okay, you know. Right, what did we miss? Georgia, Azerbaijan
14:42
This is the first time we've not got Azerbaijan. We're always saying it. Poland and Norway
14:46
Ah, so a bit actually touches Norway. All right, fair enough. Bangladesh is the one I missed for India, which is pretty obvious
14:51
So I let myself down there. I did also miss a Stan, Turkmenistan, Libya
14:55
Okay, and then we've got Vietnam and Laos. Yeah, I should have kept working my way around
15:00
I got distracted basically, didn't I? All right, once again though, we got 86%, which does beat the average score of 77%
15:06
We now move on to what is only naming 24 countries, but it's all the five letter ones
15:12
I think I'm gonna struggle with this. It's just really not my thing. I hope to get half, but we will see
15:18
All right, do we go for it? Yep, I guess so. Sudan. I'm pretty much out
15:23
So Guinea's too many, isn't it? Oh, dear me. What if I only say Sudan? Korea
15:27
I wish I could say Korea, but it doesn't have North or South in it. Okay, it's been 30 seconds
15:32
I've got one country. Oh my God. Why am I so bad at this? Why can I not think of anything
15:37
Mexico. There's too many letters. Of course it is. Oh, dear me. Italy
15:42
Oh, man, I can think of so many six letters. Gabon, that's one
15:47
There you go. Peru's only four. Haiti? Yep, there you go. I'm just staring at my keyboard, by the way, if you think I'm looking down
15:53
Kenya. This is actually quite a helpful technique, the old stare at the keyboard. Laos is not enough, is it
15:58
This is so sad. Yemen. Hmm, thanks. Yemen hasn't actually come up yet
16:02
Two Valus, too many. Qatar? Nice, okay. Oman is too few. There's gonna be loads of S's, right
16:09
So, Sudan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, India? Nice. Spain? Okay, okay, we're getting somewhere
16:17
It's a difficult thing to do this. I don't know why. France isn't on yet, of course. I keep saying of course, but I still have to type them in because I've got doubt in my brain
16:25
I think of just single syllable countries like Spain. Ooh, have I said Japan
16:29
No, I haven't. Wow, the obvious countries that are about to be revealed to me are going to be through the roof
16:34
Let's see them all. China. How did I not get China? Libya, Kenya, Ghana, Berlin, Niger, Samoa, Chile, Palau, Nauru, Tonga, there's China, Malta, Syria, Nepal
16:44
I am not good at that. The average score is 62%. I know I did quite a bit worse, but I expected other people to be better at this as well
16:52
So maybe this is quite tricky. I'm curious how many you guys would have been able to name
16:57
But yeah, I accept I'm not good with the five letter thing. I'm glad we did quite well here, though
17:01
We got a bunch. We did miss a few obvious ones. I remember things started off well
17:05
We got 100% on the first one. Anyway, thank you very much for watching. Hopefully you did enjoy this video
17:09

17:14
I keep praying for it. Fingers crossed. All right, thanks guys. I'll see you later
