''That's Switzerland'', apparently even the shape of Sweden looks like Switzerland to Americans lol
It's always the Americans that mix up Sweden and Switzerland. Probably because they both start with "Sw". But weirdly they don't mix up the United Kingdom and the United States, because they both start with "the United"
@@bananenmusli2769I mix UK and US up on purpose every time I hear a comment their my country Sweden and Switzerland is mixed up in hope of make the person in question hopefully learn to next time 😁
When I was a child I was mistaking shape of Sweden and shape of Italy, and name of Sweden with name of Switzerland. And I live halfway between Italy and Sweden.
People in East Asia also do it to the same extent.
Oh no 😢
😂
I'm European and I still had some problems with microstates, so you should be proud of yourself - 43% is not that bad, especially for American
I`m European too and i like to say 43% is EXELLENT for an American. I´m sure i wont get 100%.....and i`m not bad at geography, at last much better then in English^^
@@StonedSoldier1974 you're right, I should rephrase it: it's not that bad score even for European and it's excellent score for an American
he should have used a strategy based on the definition of the borders to deduce the size, the more jagged the bigger, Monaco also had port dams, it was obvious it was tiny, however with the silhouettes of the US states I would certainly have done worse
What's the name of the Website?
Another problem is that you have to click the one the game tells you instead of going by process of elimination.
Doing the same for US states as a European would be more difficult. A big bunch of squares 😂
Especially if they are all the same size. lol
Gathering likes for Ryan to take a similar test on recognizing the shapes of US states)
Just tried it, crazy hard
For me it's just 5 distinct groups: Teksas, Florida, Alaska, squarish\landlocked and natural shape/with coast line states😅
@@common1529 Teksas? lol Texas.
For an American a very good result! Congrats! As an European I reached 71%..
Says (s)he modestly...though I'd get similar (prob)🎩
He's not average American
I got 72% in 5:20 but I'm Australian so I only had to get 10% to be good, LOL.
@@TheZodiacz Congrats!
@@TheZodiacz I am german and want to do this too. But I don't know the name of the Website. Can anyone help me
2:45 *Points at Ukraine* “This could be Russia”
Oh dear🫥
Still love you and your videos
Ryan: This could be Russia.
Me: That's what Putin said.
Yes it could, if Russia would not be led by thieves and idiots
@@rainerbloedsinn182 10:06 LOL he did the same while hovering over Poland "That's Germany"
@@rainerbloedsinn182 Ryan actually said that this
talk about bad luck ^^
Croatia does indeed have lots of islands (over 1200+), though that wasn't shown well on the quiz 6:06
Most of them are small
It also has a very unique shape overall.
Thank you for uploading this. You do NOT look stupid. I find it courageous that you did this test and uploaded the video. This isn't easy, even for me as a European. The sizes of the countries seem to play an important role in my "memorizing country shapes", as well. Well done. You've proven to know ALOT more about Europe than the average American. Keep up your curiosity.
Most funny... "Where is Switzerland...?" And the cursor is actually on the exact right spot...
I think it was a bold move to call Ukraine Russia in the current situation 😂
Idea😉 For each country you have marked completely wrong ( the red color), you should react to a video from or about that country.
Croatia does have a lot of islands, the outline in this quiz is just very simplified
A very good result, unexpectedly surprised by Ryan. And here, no jokes about Americans' knowledge of geography; a test on recognizing the shape of countries outside of a general map and without a scale is one of the most difficult. Even Europeans, who regularly see the map of Europe in their daily lives, rarely score more than 50%.
Dunno, Ijust played a similar one where you have to type the names while the shape is shown. I got 100% of Europe in 3:46.
The distinctive thing about Ireland, apart from the jagged west coast, is the big lump of Northern Ireland taken out of it at the top right (as it's part of the UK), the northern tip there is part of the mainland and isn't a separate island which it kind of looks like on here.
As a Brit who has been playing Worldle every day for a year or more, I was disappointed to only get 55%...
Hei, i am european and i got 41% :D The scaling really makes it hard.
Which site did you do it on? Which one is he doing on?
@@lyt48 i just googled "European outline country quiz" and this same one popped up.
This is very easy, and I'm American.
This is freaking HARD!!! As you said, the scaling makes it additionally difficult. I am not THAT bad generally in geography, but even with a lot of thinking and not so much klicking around as you i only made 46% in more than 11 minutes. 🤣 So you were quite lucky and not really bad at all!
No, he performed poorly. This quiz is very easy.
@@justoad that depends on who you are, for just people it wouldn’t be very easy.
Especially considering that if I had to guess this TH-camrs age north Macedonia didn’t even exist on the map when he got taught geography.
Everything looks like Australia? You’re hilarious 😂😂😂
Even as a European, I struggled. I immediately recognises the UK, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, Italy, Greece, France, Denmark. But the others made my head hurt, mainly due to scale!
Yeah, although Monaco is really easy as well. It's so small you can actually see the piers of the harbour in the country outline.
Congratulations when I saw shape of UK first thought was what the hell is this and what is it doing at EU map😅
Dude, Do this Quiz with american states and then half of them would just be squares. That would je almost impossible to get right xD
there's actually a lot of variety with easy ones like Florida, Alaska and Hawaii. Anyway I got 85% in 5:43 so it can't be that difficult. I'm a moron 🙂
Okay, as a reference: I'm from Europe, I'm in my 30s and it took me 7:16 min with a score of 44%
I got 56% in 6min, but it helped by seeing the video before. The small and eastern countries are not so familiar to me.
I got 100% in 2:06 Minutes(I just like geographie)
lol I got 100% in 1.48 minutes
@@Das-ist-k-ein-VIRUSWhat's the name of the Website?
@@inotoni6148 There are many websites where you can play these quizzes this is from geoguessr but you can also play on websites like sporcle or jetpunk
That is a lot tougher with the scale being messed around with for sure.
Got 87% myself on a similar quiz that included Turkey.
Again like with you and others, the smaller one's were the hardest when they are the same size.
To be fair, starting you off with North Macedonia was tough xD
It looks very difficult to me (native Finn) - but I'll do it with you! ... I knew about as many that you did, and guessed maybe a few more, but had no clue on many more than you! You did very well!
You can click the arrow on the top to skip countries, and do the easy ones first.
Funny Thing about States like Monaco and Vatican is that they are so small ur able to see Buildings or Ports
As a Brit I had the same reaction to you when first looking at it but it's surprising how many you can figure out when you think about it. I got more than I imagined I would.
"They all look the same "
Wyoming talking to Colorado about European states
you got Poland, bardzo dobrze
that's honestly a really good result. happy to see you straight away knew the shape of my home country Latvia
This was actually pretty hard as an european too, so many similarly shaped blobs and places like Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, San Marino etc. one only knows their position as a dot :D. Ran the quiz before watching the video and got 61% in 6:41... So you don't have to feel too ashamed, some guesses were a bit funny like guessing ireland several times ;D but it was easier than I thought to get flustered on this one.. :D
"These are way easier" - my dude, I see only a bunch of rectangles hahahaha
That was fun! You got the important one right, mine😂😂😂
To be very fair, as geography "nerd" from Latvia, having all countries same size (not up to scale) definitely makes task more tricky as one is just used to certain (relative to rest) size of shape not shape itself only.
u did really well!
this is a veryy special puzzle😂. but it fits also only in one order
I’m English and I took the time to learn all the European countries and capitals, but when you separate them out like that… I’d be amazed if I could get 8 or 9😮😮. Apart from the obvious ones, the only ones I would be able to pick would be from learning cues like Croatia looks like a capital C.
I also learnt the US states and capitals and I think I’d probably score higher on that if you separated them out
I'd love to watch you play more stuff like this
There's enough of them I know as a European, but re-scaled and scrambled, it is a lot harder to differentiate a lot of the countries, even as a European. I would've gotten plenty wrong myself 😭😂 one comparison I can give you at least, similar to the "Italy looks like a boot" one-this one's funny actually, because you said Romania looked just like another country, but Romania actually kinda has the shape of a fish, if you look at it. That's one added comparison that might help you out 😂
Monaco is really easy. It's the only one that's so small you can see the piers on the country map (all the other insanely small countries are landlocked).
You did great honestly! A lot of Europeans would have done worse (except for confusing France and Spain 😬😬😬)
(14:22) And at the same time, a German might find German states outlines to be easier. What if you do America (continent)?
Ooh! Just did this the other day. 4:52, 85% 😊
Italiy is a no brainer. Ukraine should be easy by now. Norway is pretty distinct for the Nordics (thanks to how much Sweden has eaten up in the middle). England is all over the news all the time thanks to the B word. You did great. Better than a lot of Europeans I would guess.
As a European I got 93% right. The smaller states (Andorra, San Marino, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein) got me because I never visited them and you rarely get to see them on a map.
Link the quiz in the description, please.
European Outline Country Quiz on GeoGuessr
This was impressive Ryan. Definitely for someone who is not from Europe. I feel like not even Europeans would do this easily.
I mean i can point out every european country on a map, but when they are like this im struggling so you did well
That does look hard. You did better than you thought you might, nearly half - well done! The island of Ireland is slightly higher - you're forgetting that part of it is in the UK....
Actually, I think you did really good! I could feel, you know most of these countries and could probably pinpoint them on a normal map
As a West European, it threw me off in the same way as most of us.
Scale and location are good indicators, now they're removed. Got a score of 42%. Big countries are easy, freaking Moldova, Latvia, The Vatican? Come on.. You did pretty well, dude!
2:45 Ryan wuzer :this could be russia: points at ukraine.
Im from canada and I got a 49%, its so hard since the countries aren't to scale!
Yes, the scale is the biggest problem here.
I'm from Europe and it's hard even for me.
I can instantly recognize my own, neighboring and countries with more unusual shapes but the rest I'll have to guess through exclusion approach. Especially the tiny one that you can't see clearly the shape on the map.
Hey Ryan!
Cool you did that challenge! :)
43% is a good result. I think Europeans would have around that in average. And much worse results for US-States 😅
Keep going! :)
100% or higher is the only good result.
I'm european, I done this quizz and get 52%... The point is that I'm over 50 years old and I don't reconize all those new lands. Many old lands splited in two or three or more pieces. So, i would say : good job, you're not so bad !
Good show, Ryan!
I'm from Germany, in Central Europe, and only managed 61% in 8 mins - and in the US one it was a dismal 32% in 12 mins.
I didn't even get Indiana right - I thought it was one of the very regular ones, had totally forgotten the bulge to the south west.
Looks for Sweden, points at Netherlands: "Is it the Frog?"
Is that where we get out nickname from?
Greetings from our "kleine kikkerlandje!"
(Small frog land)
The resizing of the tiny ones brings serious pain. Don't worry about those ones much.
For an American you are Good.
Not only for an american!
@@maxheadroom22and26Only for an American. Europeans would get 101%
You did good! Scaled up is f*ckin impossible and I'm Swedish.
Where can we find this quiz?
it's probably on sporcle
European Outline Country Quiz on GeoGuessr
Just search for the name of the quiz - it's shown in the title of the video.
geoguessr europe country outlines quiz. 46% only...
@@maxheadroom22and26 56% a german who is really bad in geografics
Croatia has more than 1000 islands.
Yeah, tat is a hard challenge. Cyprus and Kosovo have their shape inside their national flag, so that makes easier to know them... And in the shape of Monaco you can literally see the outline of the Monaco F1 Grand Prix xD
Before I start watching, I tried this and got 47 % it's pretty hard quiz since all the sizes are mixed to match the grid and without context of location it is super hard. I missed coutnires I know well just because the outlines got confusing. (European here btw)
Croatia has around 1000 islands
I only know 4 of them for sure and I am from Europe. I would probably guess only 2 US states, Texas and California…
Imagine puzzles like that...
Let’s just click wildly on anything green 😂😂😂
Don't worry man, I didn't take the test, but from memory I could draw very few states that make up the USA; these are: Alaska, California, New York, the two Carolinas, Texas, Colorado and Wioming (they're easy), Florida, for the rest I'm like you for Europe
I've got 82% in 4:47 min.
I thought it would be easy for me as an European, but it is not such a piece of cake. Especially the small countries are confusing.
Have you ever travelled to Europe and visited any of these places?
Ryan, congratulations, you area real American. But if you showed me the outlines of US States, I would only recognize Texas, California, Florida, Alaska and Hawaii.
Hey Lithuanian Country actually very distinctive upside down heart shape! ☺️☺️☺️ it has distinctive feature the only thing its small:)
I'm European, and I was only 100% sure about Sweden, Norway, Demark, UK, Ireland, Italy, France, and Spain. The rest was a guessing game 😅
You thought Ireland was a little taller!!. Well they knocked off Northern Ireland!!! ITS Part of the U.K.!!We have a rebel song here 'Give us back our teddybear's Head'Because the island of Ireland is shaped like a teddy bear!!
As a swede Europe is fine - but I would not manage the states in US....some like Florida, texas....but not all 50...51....
I am just imagining him visiting Europe.And somebody is like you ignorent American fool! You came here cluless and you are wrong.And guy is challenging him to play this.😂And he wins,and gets opponent's citizenship.😅
"How stupid do I look? Just be honest...
Actually, don't."
😂
*scores not well* :
"I can't believe I did that good 😐"
😂😂😂
❤❤❤
I was never good at geography okay and just looking at them before you even began I was sure about two. My own country : The Czech Republic and Italy. Then a bunch where I was not sure and then most I got no clue. Probably would get Norway, Germany and Russia too.
You did very well. It's also difficult that the countries aren't represented in their actual size. I think many Europeans wouldn't have done better than you, especially regarding those smaller states.
As french, I say you did pretty good 👍
Even for me, the Balte states, the most east country and the micro-states (Malte, Andorre, ...MontéNegro, ...) are hard
Tbf the only 2 truly obvious ones are Italy, because you learn it’s shaped like a boot at a young age and the UK/Britain, it being an island, you are more familiar with its shape anyways. It sticks out.
There is a few more obvious ones but can be tricky seeing the shape of them not connected together…. Well done anyways. 👏
I'm Irish and have live in many EU countries. I got 48%. Give me a map with no names I'll get it, but a geographical jigsaw puzzle? You did so well
It's only a matter of shape, not proportions. Otherwise, it would be difficult to draw recognizable shapes - e.g. Vatican - Russia, on such a small basis.
Pretty good not gonna lie!! I paused at the start because I wanted to take the challenge. I think I did okay with 68%. But I'm living here so eh... Honestly though it was difficult to figure it out just by the shapes, if it was on a map it was a whole lot easier. Suddenly the shapes looked so much alike haha.
In the US i would probably only recognize Florida by its shape 😂
Before I watched this video I played this game (but in the version where it doesn't tell you what the wrong country you clicked on is) and I got 49% right in just over 16 minutes.
i mean if you always see maps of Europe while in class all your life you jsut get used to the shapes, especially if you have a thing for geography like me, i would have guessed all of these, but for instance pretty much all of my friends (who are all European like me) would get liek a 50% - 60%
Lithuanian here. Dont worry, no offence taken. Im pretty chill with this now. For a decay I had to fight british to stop them from thinking that all East Europe is poland. Nothing can surpass my low patience levels from that.
with the size adjustments and without locational context its indeed harder than i thought. only managed 58%, i expected more like over 80 haha
Man, please don't be ashamed.
I recently met a European guy who thought Chile was in Asia.
And also that dude who was convinced I made up the name of Idaho.
Who the **** knows the shape of the tiniest ones?...and the former Yugoslavia seems to sprout a new country every few years (and I say all this as someone who considers himself good at Geography)🎩
That is so difficult. We in Europe would find it impossible to recognise the State shapes in the USA. We may have an idea where they are but not the shape. Ridiculous quiz.
I'm English i struggled i only found the UK soley because of N. Ireland. There's a few that actually look similar
omg. I couldn't do that. Imagine it's like a puzzle. Let's make a new Europe then 🙂 You did well, in my humble opinion.
After finishing your video I tried the USA version and it's just bonkers. I don't know the states that we'll, but 33 % is just sad.
Mistaking Brlgium for Netherlands, you just created your own The Beers War. 😅😅😅
To be honest, I'm quite impressed. Not too bad. This quiz is hard
God dammnnn....you switched The Netherlands with Belgium 🤨 that's not funny! 😅
This is Seterra geoguessr, I tried that one too and yes it is hard.
