    I got 83 out of 195 in the first link.

    And 64 on the second link.

    I swear I could have gotten about 10 more on that first game if I could spell some of those countries.

    I think I'd do marginally decent with parts of Europe, Middle East, some of the Americas and Asia; but I'm almost too embarrassed to even try this. I think I want to buy a pocket atlas now, and get a world map desktop background image for both the home and work computers.

    Okay, I guess I originally thought I was going to have to name and locate all the countries. Just naming them I got a 117 out of 195. I spent so much time trying to remember random African and former Soviet states that I forgot semi-obvious ones like Switzerland, Hungary, Thailand or Cambodia, and I couldn't spell Philippines after three tries. Couldn't get Greenland to come up, but I got to learn that it's a province of Denmark. This has the potential to be a very addictive quiz, assuming a reasonable attention span.

    149 on my first try, I was blanking on West Africa and Oceania. Would also help if I could spell correctly.

    Man if I did this in 7th grade I think I couldve gotten all of them. Gogo Geography Bee.

    I got 113. I could have had many more if not for spelling.

    92 of 195. It helps if you've been watching as many World Cup of Footballs like I have. :) I just think about whom Mexico has played against and who were in groups together in the last few cups. :)

    WTF, when you say "Republic of" and it spells "Rep of"... you still get it right. Plus, those damn African countries... and they don't have the smaller countries in the small islands of the Caribbean... :mad:

    Good stuff. I noticed that most of you dudes (and dudettes) who get more countries will not make mistakes in grammar and spelling. Thank you for that. :cool:

    I got 68/195 on first link and only 52 on the 5-minute link. Damn.

    I can't believe Great Britian is NOT a country. Wierd. :confused:

    76. I literally blanked out with about 5 minutes to go. I missed a lot of easy ones.
