I got 106. Is that good or bad?

I should point out in my defence that I did not do the training!

I also found my poor spelling was a bit of a problem! Reply to this

We managed 163 last night. My boyfriend did the typing because his spelling is better then mine. Reply to this

Well ... Gotta agree with the 'stans.' The last one I was trying to name was Kazakhstan and could not figure out how to spell it properly .. lol.
And I forgot a lot of the easier ones as well when they got covered up by other country names. I forgot all about Poland. Oops!


109 on first try is alright though I guess. Thanks for the fun quiz Mell! Reply to this

Clearly I need to improve. I am going to do it again to see if I can do any better. If nothing else this will improve my spelling Reply to this

Me and my boyfriend managed 171 between us tonight. 😊

The ones I have most trouble with are the African countries, which are rarely/never in the news, and few foreigners visit.

Thanks for the fun quiz Mell!


You are welcome. 😊

I forgot all about Poland.


We forgot about France, on one of our attempts. Dont you hate when you forget a country like that. Reply to this

There is also a test for all the capital cities in the world. I wonder how many tries I will need, before I can name them all. Reply to this

139 for my first go.
I have also learned that I cannot spell Liechenstein, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan under pressure! (I generally can't spell Liechenstein without pressure either!) Reply to this

You might be right. There are some strange and unofficial countries listed by Yakko in the training. :D

180


Congratulations on having the highest score so far. Next thing to keep you from your work will be the 'name all the capital cities of the world' game. 😉 Reply to this
