crazygal Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I got 72. Funny the countries I had completely forgotten- Belgium was one of them and I couldn't spell some of them to get them correct- those old USSR ones. Great game though!

craftyhunnypie Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Oh dear 59! I struggled with the African ones! So embarrassed. I'll get hubby on this later, being as he thinks he's the tree of knowledge...(he usually is). Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Aaaargh, I got up to 80 with 4 minutes to go and then Bogwoppit started crying and the potatoes boiled over.....! Mind you I used to work in International Relations in one previous job and an Africa Division of a big company in another job so I ought to know the names of a few countries!

Guest Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I got 48 I missed out on a fair few that I knew but couldn't spell. I knew naff all of Africa - just the 2 there! I was pretty good on America but very puzzled as to why greenland wasn't on there. I tired to go through all the grand Prix locations and countries in the Eurovision song contest!

BeckyBoo Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Well I'm really rubbish! Some of the "new" european countries baffled me, my brain turned to mush in South America and as for Africa, - brilliant quiz though I spent ages looking at the correct answers, there were places I'd never even heard of!

Chickvic Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 52 and that was with hubby's help! Although we did get a few we just couldn't spell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 81 for me, but then a lot of countries have changed since I did A level geography Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 My brain turned to mush far too quickly and I gave up . OH would be brilliant at this (but probably couldn't be bothered to do it ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 102 , but I used to give loads of travel health advice in my previous job so had a reasonable knowledge of geography . I knew some others but couldn't get the spelling right . Still kicking myself for forgetting Romania Really interesting, thanks for posting that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 First time I did it, I couldn't get it to work - put the name of the country in and pressed enter, but nothing happened. Wasted the first 5 minutes trying to get it to accept England, Scotland and Wales When I reset it I managed to get 77! Quite surprised myself I couldn't get Romania though - couldn't figure out how to spell it!! Amazing how your mind goes blank at critical times isn't it?

..lay a little egg for me Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 79, but like Snowy I had to reload it and then had a problem with spelling some of them and had to give up on some I knew!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 53 not good I thought I had quite good general knowledge but as a few others have said i struggled with spelling especially in Europe. Holland threw me by being Netherlands but I worked that out, I forgot about New Zealand sorry Katenz I got a few really obscure ones like The Vatican but missed obvious ones I didn't really study it so will have another go with DS he likes that sort of thing.

Yorkshire Pudding Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 111 - but only after reading this thread so I think that's probably cheating! Tried and failed to spell Liechtenstein, forgot all about Luxembourg and had a total blank on Central America and the Caribbean. And I forgot to type in the UK or Ireland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I forgot Ireland too Also couldn't spell Liechtenstein or kazakhstan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I got 90, could have been more if I could remember how to spell the ex-soviet bloc countries, and my spelling of some others was wrong so I didn't get them. And when did half the African countries change their names - they kept that quiet!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
