I would never have got Golden state. Really should have got Green Bay!
Anyone do the countries of the world? I can usually get all or just miss two or three.
For a real challenge try flags of the world. I defy you to score high on that.

This one is fun. Difficult, but fun. I'm probably too young to do great on it, but wow... I was WAY off on some of 'em.

50/120
Boston, Buffalo, LA, Philadelphia, Phoneix and Washington had me especially confused.

One of the Nine

Played countries of the world and got 131/195. I'm ashamed at some of the ones I missed such as Ukraine, Belguim, Netherlands, El Salvador, GREECE!, Zimbabwe, Morocco. And Monaco. Damn. But most of the rest were obscure islands in the pacific or else impossible to spell like Kryzigstan, azberjan, djibouti... Screw it. I tried. But how the hell did I miss Greece?

I do it by continents. If you know how many are in each it is easier. I just did it and got all but Sierra Leone.

I don't know why but doing the countries one reminded me of that Jay Leno commercial where he asks who are the neighbors to the North and she replies Mexico.

Misses:
Thought Adobe was ATI, and kept guessing at what the actual name was;
Blanked on Chrysler, though guessed at every other car company;
Also didn’t get Guinness, Marriott or Boeing.
Tried harder at that than anything I’ve done for my job today.

The flags one is one of the tougher quizzes on there. I got 182/195 but I'm a geography nerd and I've done that quiz a few times in the past.
Here's one that I created which most of you should do well on: Calgary Flames Goaltenders

I did alright I guess. 15/26.
Some of the ones I missed were total golden oldies.
I really should have got: Rick Tabaracci, Dwayne Roloson. I was thinking of Phillipe Sauve the entire 7 minutes and just couldn't come up with the name. I also definitely recognize the names Jeff Reese and Andrei Trefilov, but wouldn't have ever come up with them.
