ACK!!!
193
I missed trinidad and tobago and senegal.
Booo. Africa gets too squishy. I stared for the remaining 2 mins and could not figure out where I had missed.

I gotta say Mell... your game certainly has been an educational one! haha. I never knew I would know all the oceania island names. Reply to this

I am slowing improving but I am way behind you lot. I am now up to 142. Spelling is still an issue. I waste far too much time retyping the name of countries!

I got 109. and the last one I typed in was Yemen, as in a last minute push I was going through the alphabet in my head trying to jog my memory 😉 Reply to this

I found it easiest to do each individual continent test until I had them down.
Then I did the world by each continent. And you can always know if you got them all by the numbers from each ie. doing Oceania, there are 14 countries, so I wouldn't move on until I have 14 on the counter.
Although ... Turkey shows up in both the asia and europe test and threw my number off at one point. Reply to this

194 - damn the Maldives!! And I agree, the easiest way is definitely to finish one continent at a time. Reply to this

Hmmm, I always find I'm on one continent and then one name triggers others. I always put Suriname in when I've typed Sierra Leone, Senegal and Somalia! I always remember Tonga after typing Togo! Reply to this

This game is also good at highlighting just how many places I haven't been to yet! Reply to this

We got 178 again. This time we missed completely different ones, from the ones we missed the last time. It is so difficult to get those last ones. Reply to this

I keep thinking about the percentage of my life that is probably left, in comparison with the percentage of countries I have not been to. I have been to around 40 countries, and I think about half of my life is over. Unless I live as long as my gran did, that is. 😊 Reply to this

Huh! With 195 countries we'd all have to visit a couple of countries per year, every year of our lives and still live to almost 100! Reply to this

My granny lived to over 100, but she had a simple life and didnt do bad things like smoking. 😊

Jay is the winner! Congratulations Jay! 😊

There can be more than one winner, cant there? So, who is next to get 195. We will give it another shot tomorrow and hopefully get 195 at last. 😊 Reply to this

Finally did it! Ok, back to work - unless you want to try something even harder http://www.sporcle.com/games/Ben/alphabetical_countries - not only do you have to name all the countries, you have to name them in alphabetical order. Reply to this

We forgot to try it last night. Tonight, we will try to get 195. 😊 Reply to this
