I think part of the problem would be a Jeopardy contestant DOES know all the countries. There's one from a list of 195-200ish.

I did the same thing as you, I started ok, China, India, Indonesia, USA... then my mind went to countries around India. I thought "Bangladesh" and then questioned myself on whether it was 10 of the most populous countries before thinking "wait... it says there's only one that ends in H".

If Amy got hung up trying to guess the 10 most populous countries rather than a country that ends in "H" I could see how she'd be stumped.
