I struggled with Africa, Central and South America and some of the former Yugoslavian countries.<br /> And I missed Vanuatu, which is kind of embarassing considering my grandparents lived there!<br /> And Singapore, considering I have been there in the last couple of years. Whoops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friday-time-waster-how-many-countries-can-you-name#post-1531059 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 00:57:37 +0000 Purpledaisy 1531059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My score was so sad I can't even post it hahaha :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friday-time-waster-how-many-countries-can-you-name#post-1531035 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 00:02:06 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1531035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got 116! Darn.</p> <p>That being said, in high school I had them all memorized. I took a World History course (or something like that) and the final exam was a blank map and we had to fill in every country in the world. I only missed 4. Alas, that was a long time ago and my brain is obviously very gushy now. ;)</p> <p>While doing this test I had three minutes left and for the life of me couldn't get past 116. I started typing in things like "north pole," "south pole," and "Antartica." *hangs head in shame* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friday-time-waster-how-many-countries-can-you-name#post-1530994 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 22:56:18 +0000 Ree723 1530994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Me too! And then to top it off, I also memorized the capital of every country in the world (and can identify every country on an unlabelled map) because I am a HUGE dork and love geography! It has come in very handy though in my world travels :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friday-time-waster-how-many-countries-can-you-name#post-1530959 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 22:10:44 +0000 MediaNaranja 1530959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got 142! I missed most of the Pacific island ones, and all of those tiny little itty bitty ones like San Marino. Africa was my worst continent, by far :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friday-time-waster-how-many-countries-can-you-name#post-1530950 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 21:54:51 +0000 coopsmama 1530950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only got 88. My brain just stopped working. When the answers came up, I realize I guessed some of the most obscure ones and left some of the super obvious ones. Doh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friday-time-waster-how-many-countries-can-you-name#post-1530843 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:30:56 +0000 mrsmate 1530843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like an ignoramus.

I don't even know if those are in east or west Africa! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friday-time-waster-how-many-countries-can-you-name#post-1530762 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:39:21 +0000 Anagram 1530762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: right? Sao Verde, Comoros, and The Gambia are always so hard for me to remember! </p> <p>I work with a guy from Liberia so I'm always inserting my "helpful" knowledge of geography into conversations to feel self important and smug. Like...he'll say, "when I was growing up, my family would go to a nearby country to vacation" and I'll jump in and be like "Oh, are you talking about Sierra Leone? Or Ivory Coast? Or Guinea?" because I'm insufferable like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friday-time-waster-how-many-countries-can-you-name#post-1530749 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:31:28 +0000 LovelyPlum 1530749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>....and now he's bitching that the shape of the Ukraine on their maps is no longer correct...my husband is ridiculous :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friday-time-waster-how-many-countries-can-you-name#post-1530734 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:22:22 +0000 LovelyPlum 1530734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: disaster. I should have known this was coming. I'm about to pull him away so we can go get some food, but I know full well that I'll lose him again when we're home ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friday-time-waster-how-many-countries-can-you-name#post-1530732 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:20:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1530732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: after I took this, I also wasted an hour on that site. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friday-time-waster-how-many-countries-can-you-name#post-1530728 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:18:45 +0000 LovelyPlum 1530728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've created a monster...DH just got 181 and has now found more quizzes on this site.
