    Can You Name the Countries of the World?

    http://www.sporcle.com/games/world.php

    Got 111/195. I probably could have gotten a few more if I knew how to spell their names, but alas. Somehow, I forgot to name Ireland, Denmark, and Switzerland!

    Africa owned me.

      Don't worry there's always someone worse, I got a stellar 47. My bad spelling didn't help me either.
      I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

          Got 74/195 and looking at the countries I missed, I don't know how I forgot about them.

                89. I knew more than that, but couldn't figure out how to spell them.
                I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                  I play Sporcle like Jeopardy. That is, I don't hold spelling against myself in most cases. I'll Sporcle in one tab and keep Google open in another just in the event of a spell check. Liectenstein would have been one, for instance. I'll take this quiz tomorrow. I'm impressed with anything over 100. There's a lot of countries out there.

                            72. I ran out of time.

                            This places me in the 26th percentile. 23% of all respondants (the highest percentage by far) scored between 179 and 194. I wonder if this quiz is being used as a test for students in classrooms. Or perhaps it's being taken by folks who all have vast worldly knowledge.
