How many can you name?

So, how many countries can you name in 5 minutes?

I got 52 out of 195...27%

5 minutes passes fast when you're trying to type, and remember how to spell Uzbekistan.

How 'bout you? (No cheating now...tell us the results from your first try!)

Stupid quiz.

I got about 22 in the first couple of minutes, then my count stalled when the stupid bloody thing wouldn't recognize "England" as a country.

However, it took Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. So what about the fourth quarter of the UK?

It's also massively biased against anyone with my typing skills.

You who can write umpteen thousand words in 3 days can't name more than 22 countries in 2 minutes?!?

:-)

Okay, so it's a geography + typing test...

I got 71. And somehow managed to miss Australia. Actually, I almost forgot all of North America, speaking of other large landmasses. Meanwhile I got hung up trying to remember the name of...Andorra! (I just googled.)

Now I have a They Might Be Giants kids' song going through my head, which might have helped: "Alphabet of Nations." Of course, it does include West Xylophone, which may not be officially recognized...

Nice score (and good typing!). I really don't like working to a timer. I found myself in a bit of a panic doing this test...
