Ethiopia Deep Cut

8 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 16 accepted answers on the sheet

Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Ethiopia: Deep Cut, +85, 8 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Brazil, China, India, or United States — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Democratic Republic of the Congo (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Democratic Republic of the Congo +100
