- A rectangle cut from the map, shown blank. Type a place with land inside it and it is drawn in.
- A place counts when a clearly visible piece of it is inside, or at least half of it is. There are no slivers to guess at.
- The small map in the corner shows where the rectangle sits. A name that is not in it costs nothing.
- Pause whenever you like (Esc). The board hides while the clock is stopped.
Name every country with land inside the rectangle.
The snippet appears when you start, so the clock and your first look begin together.
About this quiz
Ribbia counts 197 countries: the 193 members of the United Nations plus Vatican City, Palestine, Kosovo and Taiwan. A country counts when a clearly visible piece of its land is inside the rectangle, or when at least half of it is.
- Rectangles with a doubtful sliver on the edge are never used, so there is nothing to guess about.
- The small map in the corner shows where the rectangle sits, without any borders.
- Editions are numbered from the fewest countries to the most: this one has 8.
- Overseas regions count for their country (French Guiana is France). Territories that are not among the 197 countries are plain land and are not answers.
