Guessing The Countries of Asia with No Borders is Insanely Hard

This REALLY is the last of these for a while. I just couldn't let it go when someone said that Asia was harder than Africa.
Enjoy!

[@MichaelSidneyTimpson]

So many landlocked countries, without seeing their neighbors, it makes it so difficult!

[@andrewwest8334]

Loving these. I’ll bet there’s a good 5mins or so of sweary outtakes…😂

[@Simmonsumers35]

Honestly if the game wasn't so strict with pixel perfect clicking he would have gotten it so much faster. Tajikistan really the final boss of each run.

[@PavelMikhalkov]

Why? It's just between Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Afghanistan 😅

[@CrankyQuokka]

Just as the start, all the stans would make me flinch 😂

[@EASYTIGER10]

Me too. All those Stans would get me into another fine mess

[@perry92964]

this is like doing one of those memory card games where there is only one of each card

[@kevinfairclough4619]

My brain made actual noise from my ears trying to keep up! Some hot matter ejected too at one point. But I think I’m ok now 🤯 Well done Dan “ Oh c’mon! ” 🤙

[@paulsalyer6866]

Well, thanks for giving this a go. All is well. Asia is great to study. I am no expert, but in school they would occasionally present us with blank maps like this to fill in. Edit: I really enjoyed this. Thank you. Your quickly developed memory is impeccable.

[@teresacarey3269]

Isn't his memory amazing? I don't think my memory was that good in my prime, but I'm 62 now so what do I know?

[@wendyoldbag6534]

Never mind the Flat Earth theories...playing Sporcle map games has me CONVINCED that some countries are constantly switching places!!!....Oh come ON...Tajikistan was over here 2 minutes ago!!!!!

[@MonkeyJedi99]

"THEY" moved it!

[@WillFlyTheLightingGuy]

Now you have to do all the continents outside the ice wall.

[@billynair]

so glad you said Laos correctly!! My best friend is from Laos, I grew up with him and still say it with the S... such a bad friend...

[@tamfang]

“Why did I think Syria was next to Egypt?” Possibly because they once tried to federate.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

that was tough. Thanks Dan.

[@smoothbeak]

"The Somalia Senegal Mixup" Haha!

[@VulcanTrekkie45]

Honestly, I'm watching this and thinking about making one of these for the cities and towns of Massachusetts. How'd you like to try that on for size?

[@desperadox7565]

Thanks for giving me a feeling of accomplishment by saying "we" did it.😎👍

[@John-es7zn]

Need another of them spaceship building vlog Dan, they are good

[@PassionForGrammar]

What website is this I wanna play

[@georgebailey8179]

Sporcle

[@PassionForGrammar]

@@georgebailey8179 Thanks!!

[@ThomasVSGyldborg]

@@georgebailey8179 I can't find these quizzes on Sporcle

[@LokiofQ]

Now for the ultimate test...... no borders, world capital cities! =P

[@jscullane1]

Are there any of these where you guess cities in whatever given country?

[@cptmalcolmreynolds3623]

Love ya Dan. Please try doing a flatearth Friday with an American accent

[@PassionForGrammar]

Lol! Great idea. Lol.

[@JohnnysCafe_]

The countries ending in stan are the most difficult to locate.

[@MrKillerno1]

It might be easier if landlines were involved I guess, but you do the best you can Dan.

[@Matuse]

The easiest one of these would be Antarctica. Just click on the circle around the whole Earth.

[@jonathanmormerod]

Someone who clearly paid no attention to the Gulf wars!

[@MonCappy]

I was inspired to complete this quiz last week. It was a tough one.

[@chrisblinman9150]

7.18 and I'll be amazed if you complete it, some of those are so small, you only have to be out by 2mm to miss them

[@gatiskevans5516]

You can try the ultimate quiz of doing the whole world minefield without borders:))

[@Donanzador]

I got screwed on my first try by getting Tajikistan as one of my first countries, but got it on the second try. IMO this was a lot easier than Africa. Lot of massive countries (Russia, China, India etc) to help place the smaller ones, and most of them have fairly easy to remember coast lines, so even the smaller ones are pretty easy to spot. Central Asia is the only tricky spot, but if you get Turkmenistan or Kazakhstan first (since they have coast on Caspian Sea), it gets a lot easier.

[@lizekamtombe2223]

If you could get them in order of size it would be a lot easier. If you could get them in order ofbstatistics you could learn more also, like population, BNP, democracy index.

[@Vikanuck]

I could be at this all year and probably only get one of the ‘stans right by complete fluke lol. Definitely fine with Asia, Africa, North/South America, most of Europe and all that, but I get lost just looking at a map of the Middle East 😄

[@antigarathorn]

Hello from Kazakstan! :)

[@MB.19]

That was intense

[@darralynemunro7350]

That made my brain hurt 😂🙈

[@Vikanuck]

But in a good learn’dy kinda way at least, right? Not in the brain rotting discoveryization of having to squeeze more dumbening nonexistical flerf words into my head’s… um… you know, ‘thinky doing sponge’… thing…? 🤷🏻‍♂️ No way some self-embiggened assbutt is taking away my ability to come up with my own perfectly cromulent thinky doing’s… I went to SKEW about it 😑

[@mikestone6026]

Since you do so much flat earth content, you should definitely do Antarctica if it has one!

[@javadkhusro]

Stan just means land/place, so Pakistan is land of the holy (guess who named it), Hindustan is India, Inglistan is England.

[@MichaelSidneyTimpson]

Qatar is a penninsula not an island.

[@KrazyTheiA]

The Berlin Wall came down after I graduated high school. I would've done better 35 years ago haha

[@MrKillerno1]

Ta-dzji-ki- Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@darralynemunro7350]

Can you give us a link to these map things. I'd like to try them for myself

[@shaneeslick]

The website is Sporcle, just Google Sporcle or there is a link in the description of last weeks Africa one

[@PassionForGrammar]

Was asking the same thing but probably won't get an answer cause this is a very popular channel with much viewer engagement and every video getting many, many comments and when there are so many comments no one sees mine it just gets lost in the sea even when I post a comment less than 15 minutes after video upload but then again I saw yours well that's because I scrolled through all of them looking for someone else asking what website this game is on cause I always want to try a geography challenge but oh well it can probably just be found with a quick g**gle search one day I will learn how to beat the alg*rithm so that people can see my comment instead of it appearing untold hundreds down the list where no one on God's green spherical Earth will ever see it this comment has no punctuation or structure but that's okay sometimes

[@BlazingTomato]

whole world no border minefield no skip

[@ThomasVSGyldborg]

Which website is this?

[@harristga4033]

you can skip the countries that you don't know where they are. Get India, China & Russia & then build the map from there!!

[@adamdabrowski5794]

All the best Dan 🎉😊

[@ArakkoaChronicles]

I wonder if they have Oceania on the site. :D Now THAT would floor me.

[@shaneeslick]

G'day @ArakkoaChronicles yeah there is an Oceania one

[@luketurner314]

Moon/Mars craters and such? (trolling/kidding)

[@matthewhorton2156]

Want to try islands of the Pacific?

[@patrickcromwell7554]

Hello Dan, I was just thinking something to myself and I actually, genuinely tried to imagine what it would take to decrease Flat Earth movements. And the idea came to me, was to start a FAT Earth movement, I mean we have theorized that at the equator the Earth actually kind of bulges somewhat, right?? So what if those of us who believe in scientific evidence start to fudge the science just a bit and start a FAT Earth community. I genuinely want to see just how far it can spread and how much/fast it can grow. LOL WE would know it's a joke, a movement meant to mock Flat Earthers, but how many would actually start believing it?? But then I also considered the possibility that, that might be seen as a bit of an unfair abuse of intelligence. Starting a movement that we already KNOW is fake just for laughs. LOL

[@shaneeslick]

G'day SciManDan, WooHoo! No Views 0👍 for this video style 2 weeks in a row

Is no one going to point out that this mans map is clearly flat!

[@ilaphroaig]

Done in 3 tries.

[@PTSTEH20]

BE Dan

[@mangoslav9188]

I found this easier than Africa, took me ten minutes

[@Nightknight1992]

Hello from California... I should be asleep..

Hello!

[@NexLuTho]

What is this called,,I Wana play it myself

[@Zorrky]

Next time... Australia? :D

[@shaneeslick]

G'day Zorrky, yeah I said that too, can Dan do Aussie States in the time of a YT Short 😂 but I went & had a look to do Australia & New Zealand there is an Oceania one.

[@SxVaNm345]

Imagine.... Every city in Australia.

[@MartinJames389]

Some controversies there. Irian jaya (aka "West Papua") included in in Indonesia and the Kuril islands in Russia.

[@blogtwot]

Love the content on these but it's akin to self-flagellation.

[@alexcederholm2990]

Love your science/denunk videos. These play games videos are horrible boring

[@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin]

Omg everything is difficult until you study/train/learn. You can’t expect knowledge to self-develop. Just get a map and study it. 🤦‍♂️ You sound like a flat-earther in this one! 😂

[@blank___blackasd]

First

[@PassionForGrammar]

Congrats that's rad

[@mr.rainbowlovescoffee]

Nice 😮

[@kevinfairclough4619]

If only this game came on a globe 🫢
