    Here's a little quiz on how well you know the nations of the world.

    For those who have taken it, post your results.

    Vlad: 72 Countries

    Please don't look at the spoiler until you've taken the quiz. It lists the most common country that I sucsessfully got, the least common that I got, and the most common that I didn't. It will be interesting to see what everyone else got, which won't happen if you know everyone elses 'rare'.

    Most Common Country that I got: United States, 93%
    Least Common Country that I got: Maldives, 8%
    Most Common COuntry that I didn't get: Vietnamn, 50%

    First try: 78
    Second try: 75
    Third try: 77
    Fourth try: 79
    Fifth Try: 92
    Sixth Try: 107

    OK. Finally started remembering some from each list to finally compile a decent score. The easiest areas for me are Africa and Asia (and obviously North America). My problem is spelling of the stans which I kept getting caught on, remembering Ireland is a country and the inner part of Europe (which I know, but would forget). Some of the South American countries like Bolivia and the Guays are forgettable on first notice. As for the other 100 countries, I imagine they're more or less like Monaco or the Vatican.

    Ooh, forgot Niger.

    I got 63.

    Most common I got : United States 93 %
    Least common I got Burkina Faso 4%
    Most common I didn't get Brazil 79% (shame on me for this one)

    All in all I pretty much favored Asia and Europe over America. I was just getting started on Africa, shame.

    Edit : 83 on second try.

    Annoying quiz is stupid :(

    Why? Because I'm typing too slow, so five minutes is too short. You can't possibly type almost 200 countries in that time (I'm doing nothing but type, of course) -- and I'm fairly certain I could name at least half of them all. But the time is barely enough for Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa, and then it's up.

    So I got 45 countries. I'll work on that later.


    Most Common Country that I didn't get: United States, 93% :p
    Most Common Country that I got: France, 88%
    Least Common Countries that I got: Liechtenstein and Gambia, 7%

    First time was 58. I had a lot of countries I couldn't spell right and I lost time with that.
    Not that I would have that much more otherwise.
    I type way too slow just as Sesc

    Liechtenstein was the least common one I had.
    I didn't have Australia, Japan, India, Iraq and Iran etc.

    1st time was 56, I kept thinking of whole new continents and then spamming countries :p

    Very addictive game.

    62 second time but I hit enter for my last country as it ended so 63 :p

    EDIT: 57. I'm just so fucking slow.

    53. I forgot a shitload of countries for some reason, even a few that were in the 70-80% range.

    On the plus side, I remembered and was able to spell uzbekistan and azerbaijan correctly.

    I'm generally sticking around the 65/66 mark every time. I should probably try it when I'm sober though, I might stop forgetting all the new ones between goes >_>.

    Damn. I only got 38. My geography is really bad. It's hard for me to recall names and try to visualize them. Sidenote: I can't believe I missed India and the UK...

    My cousin plays this version of the game. It's a little easier when you see what part of the world you're missing. He can usually get 185+, he got the entire thing once or twice I think. He's insane. <_<

    I got 32 :) But, to my defence I don't know the English names for half the countries; I've all European countries with capital cities memorised, but in polish.

    PS. Why the fuck Netherlands is "Holandia" in polish?
    Most common i got: United States
    Rarest: Burkina Faso <-- pwnage, 5%
