25-second pick · +100

Adamstown One in a Krillion

9 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 44 accepted answers on the sheet

Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Adamstown: One in a Krillion, +100, 9 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Buenos Aires or Canberra — those are Plankton. It is also the One in a Krillion on this sheet, so the rare pick and the typeable pick are the same.

Skip Buenos Aires · Canberra
