The lady in my company's overseas department just sent me this little 5 minute quiz to test my knowledge, and I was actually kind of happy to be able to name 52 in 5 minutes. It's harder than you initially think, and I think the only reason I got that many was because I've been studying the South American and European maps trying to decide where to go first for the past 2 weeks! :)

Hahaha...
That was an interesting activity. After running it, I got 84 countries. It was pretty funny, I was remembering names of countries I didn't even know I remembered (like Martinique). But it's funny to know that there were moments of lapses where I couldn't think of a country even though there are nearly 300 of them. That was fun, I am doing a lot of the other activites on the website now. Hahaha!

Actually yes. :) Australia and New Zealand were among the first 10 I wrote (my own home country of Canada being #1 of course *S*).

Nice one... I came up with 54 names. Whew, I was so pressured that I forgot a lot. Imagine I taught Asian History for 11 years and been out of work for only 8 months... I already for got a lot of the countries I taught. This is a wake up call... I need to review. Thanks
