While using my phone for countries, and my computer for the website you posted, I get them all right. I can even put them in alphabetical order. Wanna see a screenshot?

Is it possible you googled the country list and then ran the quiz again (cheated)?

Of course it's possible, but what fun is that? I'm bored, but not that bored

Yeah when I googled "how many countries are there" I got this.

quote:

There are 196 countries in the world today. Taiwan is not considered an official country by many, which would bring the count down to 195 countries. Although Taiwan operates as an independent country, many countries (including the U.S.) do not officially recognize it as one.

That's pretty much the first place I think of when I think about countries.

I've played the countries games before where the countries appear in alphabetical order when you name them. That one is tough enough. No way did I think I'd be able to get 189 on this one. At first I tried to do them alphabetically, but I found that it was quicker and more efficient to go by region

FWIW, I didn't start this thread to brag. I figured most people could get 150-160. The average score on this game is 82% (about 162). Just wanted to help the day go by

The only two that matter:

1) America
2) Not America

I can name all 50 states with no problem.. And while I can name a fair share amount of countries, I think the amount of countries I would be able to list would be far less than 100.. Maybe somewhere between 50-75.

I got 59 but should've had 10-20 more but couldn't spell a bunch correctly.

You'd probably surprise yourself. I did take World Geography in college. I'm sure that helped some.

Naming and spelling are two different things.
