Does spelling count? Cause I can name a bunch, but I just don't think I could spell them all properly.

I only got 87 - although I must have typed in "Columbia" 10 different ways trying to get the test to accept it, so really I should have had 88.

Haha I wasted about 30 seconds on that one too. Stupid Kyrgyzistanians - why couldn't they have called their country just K!

I got 98, but I forgot really dumb ones, like all of the Caribbean.

And I tried Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo, Zaire >.< ... and apparently it's Democratic Republic of the Congo *shakes fist*

Missed Italy? Shudduppa you face!


I started by trying to go alphabetical. I got to 5 minutes with only ~30 countries... So I cancelled and started again and went through continents.

Man that test is a way harder than I thought it would be. I got about 90 of 'em before I started cheating at looking at the map on the wall behind the monitor.

Actually, it was harder to not cheat than it was to do the test.
