How many countries can you name in 5 minutes?

[notoppings]

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.

This is how many I can type in 5 minutes.
If I could type faster it would have been higher.
United States, by the way, but I wouldn't know if that would be normal over here or not.

79 countries named. 116 left.

on second try

[Jakalwarrior]

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!

Albania, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Cuba, Egypt, France, Greece, Haiti, Iceland, India, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, United States

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.

[Zirka]

I got 47. I can't spell to save my life though. I had so many more left in my head. I didn't even get to South or Central America. :( I'm from Canada, by the way.

Afghanistan, Angola, Australia, Canada, China, Egypt, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, India, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Lebanon, Moldova, Monaco, Mongolia, Netherlands, North Korea, Norway, Pakistan, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Taiwan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Zambia

[Fej]

55 countries named. 140 left.

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.

[emanon]

I got 71. That was fun.

[PHS Philip]

Only 66. I fail miserably at spelling, so I got stuck for 30 seconds trying to get things like the Czech Republic through. *sigh* I know most of Africa, all Asia, all South America, a lot of Europe...but I can't spell any of them.

[ElstonGunn]

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 "España" or "The United States of America" or "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland." Bastards.

From Canada.

I type fairly fast... apparently I can't spell very well, took me like 3 trys for some of them... stupid venezuela.. =D.. anyway.. I doubt I could go much higher if higher at all..

[iMiki]

I live the U.S. I only named 79 countries. 118 left.

I knew most of Asia especially in the East because I spent my early years there, most of Europe, most of South America, some of North America, and hardly Africa. While I was doing this, I was picturing the world map.

[Danisty]

I was picturing the map too. I tried to get everything I could in a specific region before moving to the next.

Seems as if, thus far, I am "pwning" everyone.

Blah spelling... and apparently I kept typing "Korea" and wondering why it didn't work.

Anyone try naming countries by remembering conflicts in the region?

[Caucus]

blah I knew alot more than I wrote down but had a major mind blank. Usually I'm very good with geography particularly capitals.
I kept thinking of names of capitals..and tried to link it up with the actual country name..Didn't do as well as anticipated.

.......I'm from the Philippines.

[Antares]

Seems as if, thus far, I am "pwning" everyone.

Shuddup.

[Mozzes]

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]

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.

[ssrprotege]

From Korea.

I missed "s" when I typed Maldives.....so it didn't count..damn!

[Brilliance]

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.

[Antares]

Anyone try naming countries by remembering conflicts in the region?

I did. Middle East. Worked splendidly.

Iraq, Kuwait, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Transjordan (what it was known as), Egypt, Syria etc

[Brilliance]

I did too for most of the Middle East, aswell as some of Europe (Ukraine, Poland) - Usually forget them somehow =/

[rowboat]

Hah! you tied me for lowest score! GJ :P

I got 35 too! Though I am stoned...

I'm from the Netherlands. Biggest problem for me was not knowing the correct english spelling and getting stuck typing it over and over again because I'm stubborn.

[Cairech]

I only got 65!! Not even half! Geography minor and all that, WHATEVER. I couldn't think how to spell the new name of Ivory Coast and blanked out on almost all of Central America and the former Eastern Bloc/Russian spin-offs.

And I totally froze under pressure at about 10 seconds. Did manage to add "Nepal."

Oy.

That was fun.

[idem]

I got 48 (mostly because I spent most of the time trying to remember how to spell "Kazakhstan").

[Rudy]

97. At some point it becomes a matter of typing speed. It should really be 10 minutes for that reason, so that the constraint is knowledge, and not how fast you can move your fingers. (97, and I missed France.)

[NHere]

77. Yeah, I kept trying to fuss over typing "Central African Republic" and "Paupa New Guinea" and misspelling "Mauritania" while completely skipping "Italy, France, Spain, Iraq, Iran, Mali" - strategy, strategy, must employ some strategy...

179 on the sporcle

Only 82.

Spelling was a problem for me on some of them...


USA

[daydreamer]

63. i can spell, and type, i just think slowly. i could have kept going, slowly lol

[nihil]

58.

I just couldn't think of them one area at a time, it was too chaotic in my head. After the 1st minute, I didn't know which I stated and which I didn't, so I kept restating the same countries.

I'll have to redo it on a clearer mind.

Loas, Laos? Luxemburg, Luxembourg? Afganistan, Afghanistan? Kazakstan, Khazakstan, Kazakhstan? Uzbeki...Uzbekhi...never mind.

[dragonsscout]

Meh. 68, but I type fairly slowly. I got all of the Americas, except the Caribbean, which I didn't want to deal with if it's timed. I also got all of Northern, Western, and Central Europe, and most of the Mediterranean before time expired.

I'm pretty sure that I could have gotten most, if not all, of them, but it was just really a typing test for me. At 195 countries, you'd need to type nonstop at about 45 words a minute with no errors or time spent thinking. That's really tough.

The sporcle one I did much better (152/195), but am beating myself up for some of the ones that I missed (Russia is a big one).

[Hatsumomo1]

I couldn't spell half of the places I was trying to name.

I got 56

[integratedvelocity]

91. I forgot a lot of "easy" countries, like Switzerland, which is actually where my family is from... But I did get Azerbaijan!

Much better. I got 116 and banged my head when I saw which ones I missed. Some of them were neighboring countries to Bosnia. :D

Their statistics are screwed up because it's so easy to cheat at this.

I got 151 out of 195.

[Defenestratoris]

Eastern Europe. Got 81 on my first try, but was distracted a couple of times. I managed to score 122 with enough concentration. Missed Poland out of the 35%+ ones; shame on me.

[themuzicman]

I got 52, but there were probably 10 or 12 that I could spell right.

And I just ran out of time. I was still going when time ran out

[yoginimama]

71 on the first try--I didn't notice the clock started ticking right away, so I lost at least 30-40 seconds :(

52, but I didn't know the English spelling for loads of countries I thought of.

I'm from Belgium, by the way.

[LordCorbin]

I scored a whopping 51! I think I could name most of the map tbh, but 5 minutes isnt enough time considering I never think about this subject (have to dig deep into my memory). Plus all the ones I missed because they no longer go by the same name I learned initially (czechoslovakia is now the czech republic etc) or that I just couldnt spell for the life of me (plenty of those former soviet republics come to mind, like all those -stans)

[idem]

62 on the first try, 75 on the second. I am from the USA.

[Aiss]

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.

Many people outside of America aren't native English-speakers, so they could score worse because of it. I've got the average 61, except there were many countries I've tried typing and couldn't get their names right in English (like "Kazakhstan" or "Zaire").

I need to know my African countries better.

[adastra]

I made it to 71 before I typed in "Greenland". When it said that Greenland was not a country, I stopped the test to go look it up. I didn't know Greenland was under Danish rule - I thought at first that the test must be wrong.

[JackCY]

70 or more
from Czech Republic

quite easy but than it's hard to remember the names, the other way it's easier, to locate a country by name.
Spelling is a problem, I had to write the names in English, interesting would be to write the names in their native language :D I think we all would fail miserably.
Would be nice to have an option of the language, or force to use some foreign language.
There is too many useless countries in Africa and South America, you just can't remember them all, they're not significant nor the countries like islands in ocean.
I know there is around 50 important in world so naming 70+ is enough for me.
The names in south east Europe changed so much in previous years than even I can't remember them correctly and the system wouldn't accept my names though they're correct. And I skipped such small and unimportant ones like Vatican. It's just Italy for me, if it's not clearly visible on map or doesn't have international airport I don't count it.

Not that I don't know any more--I do, a few--I just couldn't think of them. My brain's not very helpful with this sort of thing. I'm horrible with trivia. Even trivia I know (like 4x7=?).

First of all, I call bullshit that "United States" and "United States of America" wouldn't count and you had to use USA. I wasted time. >.>

But shit, that was awful. There were a few that I was staring at like I KNOW YOU I KNOW YOU and couldn't think of the names. Ended up being Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania. Blast, Eastern Europe. I almost had the whole damn continent, which is more than I can say for any other continent.

ALSO I would've gotten fucking Andorra if the map was bigger. I remembered San Marino, Malta, Vatican City, and Liechtenstein but went and forgot Andorra.

From USA.



I'm gonna try again.

Second try... (I didn't look at the list.)

You scored 110/196 = 56%.

Got all of Europe this time, thank goodness. Missed about half of Asia. Still did embarrassingly in Africa - plenty of places I've heard of but didn't think about. Got about half of the Americas. Only got Australia, Micronesia, and New Zealand in Oceania...

[RCOEI]

I got 62. I forgot most of Africa and Europe..I'll have to study up.

[The Snow Dog]

79. I'm from Canada. I liked that test.

[Arex]

I'm from the United States, got 74/196. Sigh.

[reenah]

110 out of 196. I'm from Germany.

My main problem became the English name or spelling for the more exotic ones... and trying diffferent spellings cost me time lol

[Modestest]

112. I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out which "Guyana" was spelled that way and whether it was French or not.

That being said, I've been astounded by my general lack of knowledge about Africa. Excuse me for a minute while I go read every wikipedia article about it.

[vulcanlogic]

73 I couldn't spell half them,kept slowing me down. Oh we'll, probably should practice spelling.
I live in the U.S

I got most coverage over Europe (Obviously). I'm pretty disappointed with my lack of south American and African knowledge.
