Countries of the World

[Niniel]

Check out this quiz. http://www.jetpunk.com/quizzes/how-many-countries-can-you-name.php

 

How many do you remember? My best score is 115. I would have gotten some more points if I only knew how to spell them in English. :D  Sadly I miss most in Africa. I need to study the map again. When I was 12 years old I think I could have done much better. 

[Nikonis]

Don't see any quiz but I'm sure I would do rather poorly.

[Niniel]

Ops! Wrong link. I have edited it. 

 

Checked the map some more and now I got 124. I don´t expect to learn all of the small islands but I should be able to learn at least 150. 

[michellem]

LOL I got 64 on my first try XD I have a complet brainfreeze on everything eastern european and african and south american

[michellem]

Aaaand now I had to watch Nations of the World like five times to see if anything stuck XD

137. Could have done better but I didn't know the spelling for some. Took me at least a minute to try to spell "Philippines" correctly. I never figured out how to correctly spell French Guiana. 

[michellem]

Guinea. You have Guinea, New Guinea, Papa New Guinea, French Guinea, and at least one more.

[NeverTame]

And guinea pigs.

[Hayl3y]

lol

 

i won't even try that quiz, i have bad memories about geography at school

[Mashiara Sedai]

69 points for me, and that was with my husband's help. Of course, it's 5 am here, so maybe I could do better if I wasn't so sleepy.

[Niniel]

Then try again tomorrow. :)

 

Well done, Dawn. 

 

I need to learn to spell Guinea. That would improve my scores. lol 

[dawnflower8]

Guinea. You have Guinea, New Guinea, Papa New Guinea, French Guinea, and at least one more.

"French Guinea" is not a place. I was referring to French Guiana, a country in South America. Also, New Guinea is not a country - it's an island that is half Indonesia, half Papua New Guinea. The Guinea's are Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, and Papua New Guinea.

 

My new high score is 152 by the way.

[Niniel]

139 this time. :)

[Niniel]

Oh, and I thought I beat you. lol

 

Well done! 

[Ash Man]

Never! I am never taking a geography quiz again!

[NeverTame]

67. My memory of anything outside Europe was frankly appalling...

[Niniel]

Never! I am never taking a geography quiz again!

 

lol 

[NeverTame]

And the spelling of Kazakhstan stumped me.

[dawnflower8]

I have the hardest time with Africa and some of the islands.

[dawnflower8]

And the spelling of Kazakhstan stumped me.

I've got the most trouble spelling Kyrgyzstan.

[Niniel]

Czech republic. It´s impossible to remember. 

 

History lesson for those younger than me: A lot of the current countries didn´t exist when I was younger. It was still Jugoslavia and USSR. Now they have split up in a lot of countries. On the other hand, Germany is now one country. Some have changed names. Myanmar - that must be fairly new, right? 

[dawnflower8]

Myanmar is like an alternate name for Burma. (But Burma works on the quiz)

[Niniel]

It does? Okay.

 

New record - 153! Yay! I´m satisfied but I actually forgot 4 European countries and some that I "should know". 

[dawnflower8]

You beat me? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

*goes to play again after studying Africa*
