Heres one that I found interesting. I think it will be a test that people outside of the Americas will score better on. So if you take the test please give your country count and what country you are from.

If I could type faster it would have been higher.

Dangit! I only got 35... I am from the United States. This might explain why I did so horribly in geography. I probably can't even name all of the states in the U.S. and I sure as heck couldn't tell you where they all are. I have just never been able to care :( Definetly not my top subject!

From America also.

I missed a lot of easy ones trying to remember the hard ones. Chile, Israel, Mexico(!), Pakistan, Sweden, France (!!).

I have to admit some of those countries I didn't even know were countries. I could probably study that list and a map for a long time and never get more than maybe 2/3 or so.

The thing is I've heard of a lot of countries and I even know about a lot of countries but I probably wouldn't even be able to point out half of the ones I named on a map.

I almost didn't name any countries of Africa and Eastern Europe, that's not surprising. Most everything else was dark green.

This almost makes me want to get a map and revive my old hobby of knowing all countries and their capitals.

I got 69 on the first try, and I'm from the US. But I'm a slow typist. I also don't like the fact that they didn't accept "Ivory Coast" from me. Get outta here, you friggin' francophillic bastards. You didn't require me to say "Deutschland" or "Espaņa" or "The United States of America" or "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland." Bastards.

What does "pwning" mean anyways? I have a bet with someone that it means "power owning", which sounds quite impressive in my opinion, though I guess that might have to follow the proper rules of contracting words? p'wning...Internet culture is so confusing sometimes.

Erika Redmark
07-19-2008, 09:37 PM
I think it's supposed to be a typo (P being right next to O on the keyboard, so the etymology is similar to that of "1" or "one" for "!", where the conceit is that the shift key was left off). So the main thing about it is emphasising that it was typed on a computer, since it was typed wrong. I've heard that it meant "powerfully owned" before, but I've also heard that that's a back-formation.

well, I retook it after trying to remember more countries, as stated before I got 81 on first try, I got 109 this time.. (Forgot Afghanistan)... lol, I didn't know the other 85 anyway.. I think the test is flaud in a sense, If you type really fast your potential surpasses others.. It doesn't mean you 'know' more countries, it just means "How fast can you name countries". More of a speed test than everything else.. Some people got much lower but probably knew much more than they got.
