Click START to begin - then fill in the 100 squares with World countries (see NAMING NOTE below) based on the categories in the rows and cells. For example, if you are looking at a cell with 'Asia' in its row, and 'Starts With A' in the column, that cell can be filled in with 'Armenia.' Many shortened names of countries are accepted, such as DRC, CAR, UAE, UK, US, etc. Answering a country which doesn't fit in any remaining unanswered cell will end the quiz.
Occasionally a cell may not have a qualifying answer, in which case it will appear blank and be a gimme. After completing the quiz you can simply click RESTART to play again.
Please note that 'star on flag' does not include a representation of the Sun.
Scoring is based on 100 points for each correct (or blank) square, and 5 points are subtracted for every second used on the quiz. So you are rewarded for getting squares quickly, however be careful as not to name a country which doesn't qualify for an open cell.
NAMING NOTE: You must type a '.' (period) after a country name or abbreviation to submit it, to prevent entering a country you don't want to (i.e. Guinea when you want to enter Guinea Bissau). For country naming purposes, the following names are used: Cote d'Ivoire, Timor-Leste.

Why is Seoul(almost 10M) only 539km? Cities over 10M(Tianjin or Shanghai) will be at least 800km away.
oops – i had miles instead of km – fixed now.
Where is Johannesburg? Or what is it called?
it’s actually Soweto. the city proper population is a little higher than Johannesburg
I really like that you can see some that you missed at the end!! Wish the city coverage quiz had that too.
I’m sorry, I’m slowly getting used to the quirks of this website. But Nasinu over Suva? Really?
Nasinu is now actually a larger municipality than Suva. Suva’s metro area may be larger, but my city quizzes use city populations.
