re: For those bored at work - How many countries of the world can you name??

Got 102.
Got most African countries and not very many islands and Asian countries. Didn't even have both Koreas
Thinking of the world cup helped

Did you go alphabetically or by region?

Trying to remember which ones you've already added was a little distracting.

Yeah, no doubt. I'm trying to find the one where it shows them alphabetically when you guess them but I can't find it.

I got 104 going by region and missed some pretty obvious ones, including India, which is made worse by the fact that I'm in a car with two guys from India.

I missec friggin Cuba.

I almost missed China. I was so concerned with the random, no name countries that I was forgetting the obvious ones. And I can never spell Kyrgyzstan correctly. I always want to throw a k in the middle of it somewhere. I got lucky this time and spelled it right

I spent a lot of my time trying to spell kyrgstan Amanda luxomberg.

114

More than a few on that list that I looked at and thought "how could I have forgotten that one?"

The congo stuff pisses me off.

Naming and spelling are two different things.

With my spelling skills, the countries I would list would be spelled flawlessly..... As long as I have spell check.

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

I still remember a lot of countries in Africa from taking an African Political Science class, but there are just over 50 countries in Africa and I would probably only get about 30.. Well, maybe a little more.. If I picture Africa in my mind and go from North to South, as I am placing each country to its location, others would probably start coming to mind.

Asia would likely be the most difficult for me to list.
