How many UN countries can you name in 10 minutes?

[Tiger Edge]

Quzzile fo' shizzle

I got 92, but I also ran out of time.

By the way, it's "bourg", not "burg" for one country that I will not be giving any more hints about.

 

[The Sad Punk]

101. I'm going to try the all countries thing next.

 

[gump]

The spelling in the quiz is annoying. Come on, North Korea and South Korea? Macedonia?

 

[bono_212]

Well...that just made me feel stupid lol. I got 50.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

If you asked me to do this after a night of playing Risk, I'd be able to name all of them.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

100

 

[coolian2]

99. forgot some no shit ones, lol.

 

[Varitek]

122, but i give myself 124. it's "democratic republic of the congo"and "republic of the congo" and I tried each several times without the "the."

missed some majorly obvious ones, though i think i got all of europe. except cyprus and malta. and missed some islands that i'll never be fluent in.

 

[Varitek]

150 on the whole world. and dam republic of macedonia and the koreas, wtf. plus on the whole world, you don't need the damn the with the congos.

 

[Varitek]

also, WOAH they count somaliland separately!

And North Cyprus and South Ossetia! This quiz is totally stepping on some diplomatic toes.

Risk has like 50 countries, tops.

Yeah, I really thought the same there - seemed pretty arbitrary and brash. Anyway, I need to try again. I'm kind of addicted. There's this sweet atlas flash game where you have to pinpoint locations on a map of the world, I'm going to try and hunt it down to post here, if that's cool.

Anyway, people need to know more about geography. Some shit I hear from folks kinda puts me out.

 

[Tiger Edge]

I have trouble with Africa and East Europe.

And I always forget like 5 obvious ones.

Yes, that's an awesome game! It gives you your score in the km that you were off by or something.

I got interrupted on this one with a phone call, so I got around 100.

Yeah, that's the one. I can't get past level 11.

184. Can't believe I missed two countries as obvious as Kuwait and Bangladesh.

 

[powerhour24]

Dammit, I forgot obvious ones, I'm good with geography but froze, I only got 71. But some I had, and it didn't take the spelling, things involving republic often took different things than what we call it. Fun challenge, I'm going to try this again and again now. I thought I could break 100.

 

[powerhour24]

Like what is Bosnia on this quiz, not part of the UN?

 

[Axver]

It's "Bosnia and Herzegovina". Wasted some of my time trying to figure it out, since I'm used to calling it "Bosnia-Herzegovina".

 

[The Sad Punk]

If it wasn't for Eurovision I probably wouldn't have gotten Bosnia and Herzegovina on my first try.
