How the rounds are made
Every round draws a fresh set from the pool, puts the prompts in a random order and shuffles the answer grid. A right click greys out that answer and brings up the next prompt; a wrong click does not count against you, but the clock keeps running. Skip moves a prompt to the back of the queue. A challenge link replays exactly the same round: the same prompts, in the same order, with the same grid.
World rounds take 20 of the 30 from our well-known countries (the familiar countries of our explorer games, the well-known capitals of our world capitals compass quiz, and the ten most populous and ten largest countries) and the other 10 from all remaining countries, so every round mixes familiar and harder ones. The pool is all 197 countries of our world quizzes.
Capitals are the ones our capitals quizzes use. Where a country has more than one capital or a disputed one, the round uses La Paz for Bolivia, Pretoria for South Africa, Amsterdam for the Netherlands, Lobamba for Eswatini, Yamoussoukro for Ivory Coast, Porto-Novo for Benin, Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte for Sri Lanka, Gitega for Burundi, Dodoma for Tanzania, Ramallah for Palestine, Jerusalem for Israel and Yaren for Nauru.
