Rep Power: 17 | 131, first attempt. I forgot some obvious countries like France and Poland, because I was obsessed with specks like st.Kitts & Nevis, Nauru etc.

Car: 1992 E36 BMW 318i Rep Power: 22 | I got 78, and there were about 30 that I definitely knew but didn't come to mind... That is a pretty sad attempt .

Car: IS250 RWD Rep Power: 84 | 118/195 for me.  Even if I had more time I probably wouldn't get many more. Can't believe I missed Greece and Turkey, wow. I always play Geosense since I'm a geek, so I was expecting at least 150. |

Car: 2001 Mercury Cougar V6 Rep Power: 52 | 91/195. Not bad considering I haven't been in school in 11 years, and nearly failed every history/geography class since 5th grade. I would have had a lot more had I had the correct spelling. For instance, I kept typing "The Vatican" and it wouldn't take it. I must have spent 3 minutes each trying to correctly spell Azerbaijan and Papua New Guinea, and I spent another 2 forgetting the "h" in Afghanistan. noet: My girlfriend's contributions from the next room: "Mexico...did you get that?" "Texas? No...wait...that's not a country, is it..." "Soviet Union?" "East Germany." "Czechoslovakia" "I know one I bet you forgot...United States!"    |

Car: Dad's MG ZT160 Rep Power: 12 | 99/195, there were so many more I knew but didn't come into my head, not only countries such as Krygzystan, but countries like North/South Korea and Greece.  We should start a leaderboard.

Car: 1992 E36 BMW 318i Rep Power: 22 | Second attempt, not much better with 100... again, I forget obvious ones like Spain, Israel, Columbia, Jamaica... sigh. I'll do it again tonight. It's amazing how you completely forget what you know when you really need to bring it out.
