After seeing the other scores, I now feel subpar... :(

lol exactly 100. I'm absolutely clueless about oceanea, central america and the carribean. And missing a good few in central africa.
 
131, first attempt. I forgot some obvious countries like France and Poland, because I was obsessed with specks like st.Kitts & Nevis, Nauru etc.

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. :(
 
89 for me. I was pissed that I couldn't remember how to spell about five of the, but surprised I nailed the spelling of Azerbaijan the first time :lol:
 
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!"

Click to expand...

lol, yeah, I failed at spelling things like Dominican Republic, or French Guinea (actually, I'm pretty sure I did spell that right, is that not one of the accepted countrys?)
 
97, fogot few obvious, like Ireland. And I had some problems spelling for example Lichtenstein.

edit: Did I mention I took my pizza out of the oven in a mean time. :D (explanations, i know... :()
Btw, we had similar test at school when i was 9. I wrote about 40 countries, then the paper run out.

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.:blush:

We should start a leaderboard.:)
 
62/195, gave up with 3:16 remaining. All of Africa went from my mind, as did the middle east, and half of south America. Pah!
 
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.
 
131 is my best attempt. South America is my biggest problem... and south asia.
