How Many Countries Can You Name?

Posted in Cool by Evan at 8:14 am

Want a web app to show you just how little you know about the world? I’ve got just the thing for you: name as many countries as you can in 5 minutes. Prepare to feel way more stupid than you should when you forget…a lot.

65, but it couldn’t see Holland.

Also, I could have sworn that Tahiti was a country.

Partially a typing test. But fun.

@Clams, I think you were looking for “Netherlands.” I got THAT, but you still beat me by 20!

Some of these are a bit fishy, for one Antarctica isn’t a country and nor is British or French of any of the others mentioned Antarctic Teritories concidered a country? Also they missed out a few Andora is a country by their logic if they have Monaco in there

50 :-/

I took the colors one, and that one seems a bit dubious too. Many of the colors turned out to be “medium yellow” and the like, while excluding some that I thought were obvious. It’s like they got their list from a crayon box (Probably did)

I don’t understand in what way this shows how uncultured or out-of-touch I am with the world. I can’t name all the elements, but i understand the basic properties and interactions of the most significant ones.

Even still, asking people to pull all the names out of the recesses of their memory is an incredibly irrelevant and meaningless way to gauge some one’s familiarity with the world’s countries.

Fun but inconsequential.

@Reis: Andorra is spelled with two “r’s”

@Clams: Tahiti is owned by the French

I got 79…which isn’t terrible

I swore Antarctica wasn’t a country either..I call bullshit on that one lol.

I got 117 on my first try but I love geography, type fast, and spell well. This test is right up my alley.
