We love quizzes and we know you do too. Especially these geographical quizzes with the added adrenaline of a ticking clock. Your task today is to name all countries in Europe containing the letter ‘S’.

As there is some confusion over whether or not some countries are actually a part of Europe, we have decided on a list of entities that, according to Wikipedia, “fall even partially under any of the various common definitions of Europe, geographically or politically”. With one exception! All of the individual countries in the United Kingdom will be included, meaning the list comprises of 53 countries in total.

We’re assuming, of course, that you’ll refer to this list AFTER the quiz to verify your answers and not before or during the quiz. To be clear, the list DOES NOT include various dependencies or autonomous territories within or in close proximity to Europe. So you can forget about your Gibraltars, your Greenlands, your Faroe Islands or your Isle of Mans here.

Six minutes should be time enough for you to reach your goal and emerge with deeply satisfying smugness.
