I'm addicted to this game. However, my results are shameful.

DS1 is obsessed with these quizzes.

I’ve just tried and got 106 which isn’t bad for me.

xsquared · 17/03/2020 23:42

183 for me

VetOnCall · 17/03/2020 23:50

148 first go. DP is amazed Grin I am a travel addict though, I've been to every country in Central and South America and most of Europe so those were ok. Africa was tricky, and a few of the small island nation North America and Oceania ones.

157 - could have done better with more time. I did manage to get all of Africa down with Sporcle, but it deserted me when I had the entire continent left and under 3 minutes! Embarrassed to be a Pointless fan yet missed the Central aftrican Republic!

I made a good friend in college by being the first person she met who had not only heard of Mauritius but had a vague clue where it was. She'd been there two weeks...

Caribbeanescape · 18/03/2020 00:03

No, but I can name all 50 US states if that’s any good.

Luckystar777 · 18/03/2020 00:04

Yes :)

FredaFrogspawn · 18/03/2020 00:15

115 - could do better. Love this - thanks

Holdmenow · 18/03/2020 00:35

109 first try! Not bad...

NotNowPlzz · 18/03/2020 00:50

I got 124 but to be fair I've done it before. numerous times Grin

bluebell94 · 18/03/2020 01:09

69... total mind blank and kicking myself now!

Chienloup · 18/03/2020 01:36

93 first go.

Very impressed by those who can do it!

Koalablue · 18/03/2020 01:48

There are so many places I’d never heard of. Kyrgyzstan? Nauru?

  1. On the downside I was typing on my phone and have very fat fingers. On the upside I do watch a lot of Pointless
merryhouse · 19/03/2020 16:35

No.

notchickenagain · 19/03/2020 16:44

Easy as long as I keep abreast of the new names. Eg Northern Macedonia and Eswatini. Don't like to be caught napping...

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 19/03/2020 16:48

Never heard of Kyrgyzstan - there speaks someone who isn't a confirmed Sporcler! It's the favourite country on there, probably because it's an achievement just learning to spell it. There's also something very satisfying about its capital city name - Bishkek.

dudsville · 19/03/2020 16:52

I can't but i admire the skill!

m0jit0 · 19/03/2020 17:11

161

Findumdum1 · 19/03/2020 17:32

96 first go this is brilliant!

CruCru · 19/03/2020 17:44

Ah, you see I still refer to Burma and Swaziland - it automatically puts the new names down.

86 on first attempt, I aim to get better!

Dowser · 19/03/2020 19:20

No, but my grandson did it for a challenge when he was about 12 and he got a £10
I allowed him 5 mistakes

TroysMammy · 19/03/2020 20:41

114 first go. Who would have thought Ecuador wasn't spelt Equador.

This is amazing. Did he study the country list for a while first or did he just do the test and only make 5 mistakes?
