Be warned, if you are of any kind of obsessive nature (and I suspect most of the Massive are), you risk a lost weekend on this site. It can be as compulsive as YouTube.

But come on, you've got to have a go at this ...

115. Some very glaring errors on my part.

But I've done this quiz at least 196 times.

Missed some blinders.

I thought 108 wasn't bad, but seems I'm the dunce of the class so far!

I was terrible on Africa, the Carribean, the -stans and Polynesia.

Had to google how to spell Kyrgyzstan, which turns out to be the most 'obscure' country I got (only 46.6% get it, apparently).

Most 'obvious' one I missed was Mongolia (80.4%)

I could have got to 100 if I'd been able to spell them.

missed out heaps of the Caribbean and the north of South America
an embarrassing amount of Africa (and couldn't spell Equatorial Guinea)
some Euro tiddlers (Vatican, Monaco etc) and glaring screw ups (Iceland, Hungary)
couldn't spell Phillippines and missed a bunch of Micronesian bits & bobs

is there an average for this game?

edit: found the stats ... am a little bit sceptical that 24.5% of those who do the quiz get 187-195 countries right without cheating (Google, spelling, maps) within the 15 min time limit

my biggest bloopers were Iceland, Cuba, Madagascar, Mongolia, Paraguay, Thailand & Colombia - more than 75% of people who do the quiz get those right

15 minutes is a hell of a scramble isn't it? Especially when you can't touch type. It would have been 137 if I'd worked out how to spell Kyrgyzstan, and if I hadn't wasted valuable time trying three different spellings, I'd have just managed to squeeze Burkina Faso in (and that's a phrase I never thought I'd say).

I suspect I'll have another go at some point. And I'll have a go at capitals, I'm quite good on them. I think.

...but I got 166. I do know my countries, and I worked round continent by continent. I'm a superfast typer, so that helped. But I don't think anyone could get them all in 15 minutes, no matter how good their geography or typing. Despite my methodical approach, I still missed some "easier" ones such as Senegal, Cambodia - and even Afghanistan. (I only slipped Russia in at the last second - the elephant in the room).

Need to brush up on Africa, and the islands, and South America, well, most of it actually. Also spent too long trying to spell Krygyzstan

108 as well.

In mitigation was disturbed by the kids a couple of times and had some spelling issues.

I've had two goes at this. First time I got stuck at 43, Jamaica, a real mindfart. I might have got it eventually but decided to give up. Second time I got stuck at 66, Latvia (which I'm amazed is that high frankly). I might give it another go if I can be arsed

Most obvious ommision: Ireland, Greece, Cyprus, and several others as the score attests
I can't spell: Jamaica

Is Greenland not a seperate country?
according to Wikipedia: "an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark" - does that mean it is or isn't?

An honest but piss-poor effort, I should have waited a couple of minutes before clicking start as I'd easily have got seventy

Africa got me, completely useless and I can't spell for toffee

I got 115 first attempt, off the top of my head and that.
Got tied up with some spellings. I have MS so struggle with right handed typing though. Away to have another go. It's looking like a lost Wednesday evening for me...

Doesn't work for me. I'm using Safari on my MacBook.

I re-set my target to 100 with a couple of minutes left and had 28 seconds to get the 100th but my mind went blank. If only I'd thought of Ireland!!!!
