This is not the first time a link to such a game has been posted in city data. I have been practising for a while when out baby is asleep, still I could never get them all with on that link in the 15 minute time limit, maybe 20.

I like this one better, it's easier to see all the countries you have previously typed in, and lets you abbreviate a bit, like PNG for Papua New Guinea and São Tomé instead of São Tomé and Príncipe, Congo is also one country in this one, so it needs updating.

I know right! Even my geography teacher would struggle in 15 minutes to get 150+. I just don't believe it.
