- Hi, it's Matt.
It's May, the month of the Eurovision Song Contest,
and the question is, can I, a British person,
name all of the countries in Europe, the continent?
Let's find out.
(fanfare)
I'll start by admitting I have played this quiz before.
I probably remember it every couple of years,
and I saw Eurovision was coming
and I remembered it existed.
So I thought I'd have another go.
As you can see here, I have 47 countries to guess,
and eight minutes to guess them in.
All I've got as a prompt is this map.
Let's see how well I do.
I think I've got a pretty good chance
'cause I have watched Eurovision every year.
So there are some countries that the average Brit
probably haven't even heard of that I've heard of,
thanks to it, and luckily,
I don't have to place them all on the map,
I just have to name them.
It's me from the edit coming back in time to say,
if you want to have a go before I do,
then the link's in the description.
Have a go, come back, write a comment with how you did,
and how you think I'll do, and then let's see.
Three,
two, one.
Okay, UK, I gotta start with UK, Ireland.
I can see Iceland above it, then France is below it.
Spain, Portugal.
It helps if I can spell, Portugal's next to it.
Let's see if I can try and do this
methodically across things.
So there are some tiny ones around there,
Andorra is between France and Spain.
Monaco is at the bottom of France.
I think there's another one down there,
but I can't think of what it's called.
So let's go for some big ones, Germany,
Italy, swit,
Switzerland.
Luxembourg,
Belgium,
the Netherlands, Denmark.
Yes, okay,
I have Western Europe.
I need the Vatican,
Vatican City, there we go.
And the other one that's in Italy,
I think it is San Marino, yes.
Is Sicily another country
or is that just the island at the bottom?
It's not.
Okay, let's go through the Nordic countries.
That is Norway,
then Sweden,
and then Finland,
Russia.
Okie-dokie.
This is where it gets a bit harder for me.
Let's look around Finland and Russia.
That one, I've been there, that's Estonia.
And that was when I filmed a video with Tom and Paul.
From there, we drove into Latvia for about 20 minutes,
which means the one below it must be Lithuania.
The big one below it then, is Poland.
Belarus is the one next to,
Belarus is next to Russia.
Then we've got Ukraine, is the big 'un.
All right.
Something between Germany and Poland.
I can't remember what's there.
Austria is next to Germany. I haven't got Austria.
So that's the one at the bottom.
There, the other two are
Czechia and Slovakia.
And Hungary isn't, Hungary is the next one round,
I did all of those in a day trip this time last year.
(laughing)
That was the last foreign trip I did before COVID happened.
Less talky, more writey,
I'm already halfway through my time.
Slovenia is the one next to Italy.
And I think the one on the sea there is Croatia.
And I think that's the next to Bosnia.
Then we get the Malt Balkan fun.
Moldova?
That's it, okay.
I thought that was somewhere near Bosnia.
Montaneg, Montenegro,
Kosovo.
I don't know.
Well, the other one is around there.
Ah, Romania, I haven't got that one yet, that one's there.
Greece, that's an easier one.
The big one next to Greece, is that Turkey?
Which means I need Cyprus,
if we're talking about (laughing) Greece and Turkey.
I've got 41 out of 47, wow.
I've got three minutes left to try
and remember the rest of them.
North Macedonia.
Is it, is one of those three Albania?
Is that a country in Europe?
Yes.
44, 45, 46, 47.
So there are two big countries and there's one tiny one
hiding somewhere as well.
Malta? Yes.
Oh, it's still three left.
Two and a bit minutes.
Liechtenstein.
Couldn't tell you where it is, but it's there somewhere.
Can I spell it, though?
I thought Liechtenstein was a country.
I'm assuming it's that dot between Switzerland and Austria,
around here.
Yes.
Serbia.
So this video goes out to everyone who lives
in that one country that I can't remember
for the life of me what it is.
I'm surprised I've done this well, actually.
I've already got that one.
I've gone blank, I can't think of what that is.
Oh well, three,
two,
one, Bulgaria!
(laughing) I was one off.
Can a Brit name all 47 countries in Europe?
No, but I can name 46 of them.
There you go, (laughing) that's your content for today.
That's all you're getting.
(laughing)
I did a quiz, so I got most of it right.
I wasn't expecting to.
If you wanna see me do another quiz like this,
