How do you play the South America locate quiz?
A country is named. Click it on the map. Three tries, with distance hints after each miss. Drag to pan the map, scroll or pinch to zoom, and use the plus and minus buttons if you prefer. Very small countries such as Monaco, Singapore and Malta get an enlarged tap target, so they are as playable on a phone as Brazil is.
How many countries are there in South America?
