Know your countries

[Spoopy]

How many countries can you name in 15 minutes?

160/195 was my best. Pacific islands and some other uncommon countries stumped me.

(hint: Kosovo, Taiwan, Vatican City count)

Sporcle is a wonderful place

Makes me feel better about all my useless knowledge

I can't recall what thread contained a link to this quiz, but I took it a while ago and got an embarrassingly-low score.

Something like 100 out of 195.

damn you American school system, with your lack of emphasis on geography...

Yes it does suck. Basically Asia is left out for some reason. I still was able to get 163/195 with just my random knowledge.

[Sekhem]

170

i'm actually surprised i didn't do better, i stared at a world map for 2 hours a day in high school

[Haggard]

WTF? That thing doesn't even know Slovakia. It was founded in 1993 so it's nothing too new or too fancy...

Also, it's a bit harder for me as I have to translate the names of the countries to english first and then type it in. Sometimes I don't know what a country is called in english, so I have to look it. This takes time and it also feels like cheating... :/
So I gave up on it when I had still 5 minutes left. By that time I had named 65 countries (yes, I always sucked at geography).

[Gobblemeister]

I do really bad because I know almost none of Africa. I can only get about 7 countries but I usually get all of Asia and Europe. South America is not too tough either.

In the end I get about 90

[lron]

I got stuck at 5.

[Ptero]

Guys...

[Light]

I'm a little embarassed here, because of my low score. I guess I'm making excuses here, but I know I could've gotten 120 or more, yet I gave up without naming obvious countries like Haiti, Jamaica, etc. What's interestng here is that I named some very difficult countries, like the "United Arab Emirates" and "Papua New Guinea". That basically proves that m mind knew the names of most of these countries, but couldn't retrieve the memory. In a way, I fail. :/

I'm supposed to be good at social studies for the most part...

[xports]

For never have taken geography in my entire 18 years of living, I'd say I still did shit.

61/195

[Halberd]

I won't lie but I only got 53. The thing is though I'm not amazing at country memorization, I'm only 13 anyways and I know the countries I typed in pretty well anyways.

[SuspiciousPenguin]

Nice, A-level geography pays off.
