I got 138. Not bad, considering we didn't really do geography at school. I still don't know what a lot of the countries are actually like but at least the game gives me an idea of where they are in the world!

All of them! Still recovering from my sporcle addiction...

TroysMammy · 22/04/2020 22:12

I use Jet Punk and I got all 196 after practising over a couple of weeks. On one occasion I got them all with 3 mins 16 seconds left on the clock.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 22/04/2020 22:22

Oh that is so strange. I've literally just came off the same quiz.
I got 116. Not too bad for someone who if you spin me around 3 times id get lostGrin. I love Sporcle.

countdowntonap · 22/04/2020 22:29

Aaaw. Only 76

OneMomentInHistory · 22/04/2020 22:29

Ouch, only 103. My memory for central america and sub saharan Africa is terrible!

SwedishEdith · 22/04/2020 22:42

Not great for me. I find I spend ages trying to remember how to spell a lot of them - pity you can't just tell them rather than type them Grin

SwedishEdith · 22/04/2020 22:45

Ha, I was 103 as well. For me, all those Pacific and Caribbean islands are hard to remember as well as sub-Saharan Africa.

CrusoePoll · 22/04/2020 22:47

All of them and their capitals

Pickles89 · 24/04/2020 00:29

151 today!

Are people being serious when they say they know every country in the world and ALL THEIR CAPITALS? There isn't room in my brain for all of them, even if you took out all the other things I've ever learned first.

I did at one point when I was training for Pointless and didn't get on.

  1. I always let myself down with Africa! Bit wobbly with South America today too, usually I can name all of those.

I also forgot Finland Blush

Waxonwaxoff0 · 28/04/2020 11:41
  1. Not too bad. I need to brush up on Africa! Also might have forgot 2 European countries Blush

Anyone else remember when this area was just "Laurasia"?
Ah, misty eyed nostalgia.

Dowser · 28/04/2020 12:38

A couple of years ago I set my grandson a challenge of naming all..234 is it ..countries of the world
Give or take 5 Mistakes and he earned himself a tenner.

He’s supposed to be doing their capitals..but he may be struggling a bit with not being allowed to see me.

Dowser · 28/04/2020 12:38

He did it continent but continent

Dowser · 28/04/2020 12:39

By not but

totallyyesno · 28/04/2020 12:46

Just did them all with 6:01 minutes to go! Grin

GuppytheCat · 28/04/2020 12:49

Dd can do the whole lot.
I can’t type fast enough even with her shouting ‘Vanuatu! Guinea Bissau! St Kitts and Neavis!’ at me whenever I slow down.

soulfuleyes · 28/04/2020 12:50

All of them and their capitals. Sporcle addiction here too.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 28/04/2020 12:53

I think 150 is the most I've managed before running out of time. I can do quite well on the continent quizzes though (naming all the countries n the continents, not remembering the continents!)

My favourite Sporcle quiz is the Sunday Crossword (although it's American, so you have to think in their colloquisms and spelling)

YourVagesty · 28/04/2020 13:07

I thought you meant generally, given lockdown etc Grin.

I was going to say France, errr...Italy....

totallyyesno · 28/04/2020 13:08

Typing fast is a necessity.

YourVagesty · 28/04/2020 13:25

Must do better!

SwedishEdith · 29/04/2020 22:47

How do people remember how to spell Kyrgyzstan and Liechtenstein when under time pressure.
