How many countries can you name?

[Catharsis]

WHAT!?!?!?! I thought there was only 194, that's what the tour lady at the UN said, or is the 195th Kosovo?

Sporcle recognises Kosovo, yes (and Taiwan).

 

[REDY]

I forgot Poland

as well as Japan, cyprus, malta, saudi arabia...

I wasnt able spell many other

 

[civ_king]

179, I'm a slow typer

 

[Camikaze]

152. I think I spent about 3 minutes attempting to spell Equatorial Guinea, to no avail, and it turned out it was the Equatorial bit I was missing. I missed so many obvious ones, too, like Zimbabwe, Bolivia, Monaco, Vanuatu, Mali, Togo... I am so going to do this again.

177 on the second try. I forgot Bangladesh.

 

[cardgame]

120 on my 2nd try.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Yeah. It doesn't look to be particularly well done.

Try this one: http://www.sporcle.com/games/worldpigpopulation.php
I got 25/30.

I got 25 as well.

 

[cardgame]

I got 25 as well.

so did I!!!

I missed Denmark, South Korea, Ukraine, Chile and Serbia/montenegro. But to be fair, I guessed Serbia. They changed its name

 

[TheLastOne36]

They made Kosovo in it for some reason. If Kosovo is in it, there should really be some 205 nations in the map. (like for example FIFA Football association has 200+ some nations in it).

'Serbia' is accepted for 'Serbia & Montenegro' in that quiz. Maybe you misspelled it?

I got 26 on the pig quiz, but only got Serbia because the comedian I was watching on the television at the time mentioned Slobodan Milosevic. Thanks, Omid Djalili

Serbia and Montenegro are two separate countries.

 

[Kennigit]

Bleh, didn't do well, but I am tired and stopped with 7 minutes left. Got to 7:00 minutes left and got tired. And I got frustrated at typing new guinea a billion times (papua new guinea).

Anyway, reminded me of this, which I think can be cute

edit- er, too tired to even realize that I repeat the same sentence twice

 

[Gooblah]

167 out of 195. I missed a ton of easy ones in Europe and Africa -

Spoiler :

Andorra, Monaco, Bosnia, Vatican, Moldova, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Antigua and Barbuda, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Sao Tome & Principe, Ghana, Angola, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Cape Verde, Comoros, Mauritius, Seychelles, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Brunei

Oh well, pretty good overall.

 

[TheLastOne36]

I got 27 on the pigs one. I missed Hungary, Philippines (??? i thought island countries were bad for Pigs as they ruin to much soil) and Denmark.

that one is hard. Only got 13 out of 22.

 

[Evie]

Got 16 out of 22 in the 6-letters cities quizz. Would have been 17 if I had bothered to try Malaga instead of discarding it without trying as "Nah, can't be one".

16 out of 25 in the Two-words US cities quizz. Missed some incredibly obvious ones, too.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Speaking of Sporcle

Anyway, I got 185 out of 195 countries right.

 

[LucyDuke]

I googled for some spellchecks, so I got 155. I'd've probably got more like 120 without the spellchecks. The most DUH that I missed was Qatar.

So how about "how long does it take you to name all 50 US states?" I had 8:31 left, so it took 1:29, limited more by typing than anything else...

 

[amadeus]

I can't take these kinds of tests unless I'm allowed to go in some kind of order and have a map where I can see each of them; doing it this way gets confusing and lowers your score.

 

[Arwon]

Albania, Brunei and Sierra Leone.

 

[Theige]

Yeah. It doesn't look to be particularly well done.

I got 25/30.

27 of 30 for that one

 

[Valka D'Ur]

97/195 That's unacceptably low. I used to be much better at this sort of thing, but am obviously in need of relearning my geography.

I would have had about 10 or 15 more if not for spelling mistakes and thinking of the old names instead of the latest (some of those countries seem to change their names every second Tuesday!).

I can't believe I forgot Ireland and Iceland!

Did anybody else remember some of these countries because they used to watch "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"
