The other day Meg pointed to this little game where you try to name all the American states in under 10 minutes. I went 45 for 50, which I think is fairly respectable for a Canadian. I’d be a little worried if I knew all fifty.
Much trickier, however, is naming all 53 African nations. I got just 30. The job is all the more difficult because those countries change names on a fairly regular basis. I’d never even heard of a couple of the countries I missed. I was, for example, entirely unaware that there was an island nation between Madagascar and mainland Africa.
How did you fair? I’d like to try Europe and Asia as well.
UPDATE: Here’s the uber-quiz. How many of the 192 UN member states can you name in 10 minutes? I managed 102 on my first try. How could I forget Greece? Of course, I could never forget Poland.

Here’s the link to the Africa game… did I miss it in your post? Sorry if I did.

Uh, whoops, quite right, I’ll fix that.
Heh. Darren, driven almost entirely by the desire to beat you, I got an honest 46 states on my first try.
I missed the Carolinas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

I got 47 African countries on my first go. I missed Republic of the Congo, cause i thought it was just “Congo”. And i missed all the islands (exl. madagascar). Didn’t know that Seychelles was part of Africa.
I’ll probably only get a dozen US states cause i’m Australian.
