Name the Countries of the World - Page 2

First attempt was a measly 92, second wasn't much better at 118.

Damn, it's pretty hard to think of the countries when you're under the clock. And I always miss Taiwan for some reason. images/smilies/mellow.gif

99/195

Spelling let me down

Lupin_IV · October 5th, 2008, 10:23 PM

66 - Partially because I spent about 3 minutes trying to spell Herzegovina.

SuperStalin · October 5th, 2008, 10:25 PM

heheh... I had trouble spelling Kyrgyzstan.

I'll do it again tonight. It's amazing how you completely forget what you know when you really need to bring it out.

which you won't get next time either, if you spell it like that...

Why pick out his post? He's not the only one complaining about the woes of spelling in the game while misspelling it in this thread too.

If we can have a second go, I guess I'll have to try again. I shall report back.

Did you read my posts earlier? I wrote that I also misspelled several countries and thus didn't get them. However in that post he was complaining that he didn't even think of Colombia... and I just pointed out that even had he thought of it, the game wouldn't have accepted it. Wasn't criticizing, just pointing out.

152/195 for my second attempt.

Didn't even use the last 4 minutes... there's no way I could get more than that. I missed a few I got last night, obvious ones like Iceland and Para/Uruguay.

mclarensmps · October 6th, 2008, 01:36 AM

Bah, I forgot Iceland, too images/smilies/sad.gif

Nereid · October 6th, 2008, 05:58 PM

Umm... has anyone noticed the time count seems to have increased to 18 minutes?

Fared slightly better with the new time limit with 126/195. Still missed some obvious ones like Belgium.

Ramseus · October 7th, 2008, 11:01 AM

83 on my first go. I can't spell Luksemburg (SIC, lol). Also I got the really obscure and tiny Maldives because I internetally know a guy from there.

vikiradTG2007 · October 7th, 2008, 11:23 AM

Missed some obvious ones, but got 143 on my first go.

you utter noob!

I don't have the patience to play an 18minute game though. And thats nothing to do with the fact that i'll be crap at it images/smilies/tongue.gif

thevictor390 · October 8th, 2008, 11:44 PM

still 15 mins here...

96/195 first time, now 125. Spelling isn't my problem so much as remembering the obvious ones. I got Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, San Marino, and the Vatican but missed Belgium, the Netherlands, and Hungary... although I could not for the life of me figure out how to spell Kyrgyzstan until I saw it at the end.

Labcoatguy · October 9th, 2008, 12:05 AM

144 on my first attempt; not going to bother trying a second time, as I've already glanced at the "cheat sheet".

LurkerPatrol · October 9th, 2008, 01:31 AM

Damn you Africa and your many many wonderful countries images/smilies/shakefist.gif

SuperStalin · October 9th, 2008, 02:11 AM

Heh, try translating the countries names' in your head from Serbian to English images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Holandija/Nizozemska = Netherlands, Nemačka = Germany, Belorusija = Belarus, Kirgizija = Kyrgyzstan etc.

RoamingGnome · October 9th, 2008, 04:07 PM

77 and circa 40~50 facepalms afterwords especially in Africa ( I mean I forgot Egypt FFS )

sonza68 · October 9th, 2008, 04:28 PM

163/195 on my first try. Spelling got me on 4 or 5 of them and some were forgotten because I was losing track of which ones I'd already named.

178 on a second attempt. When the map fills up, it is pretty hard to spot the ones I missed. For example, this time I forgot France.

Jocó · October 9th, 2008, 04:37 PM

119 on first attempt. Too bad I don't know how to spell some in English!
