How many of you know every country in the world? You probably don't know how many you know right now. So visit this site and play this game to find out! Just list all 195 countries in 15 minutes and you win. Of course, you can't really lose so don't worry. Can you beat my score of 44 countries? Play the game and find out! http://www.sporcle.com/games/world.php Be sure to post your results here! P.S. This site also has many other games like this. They're very addicting but good for the mind also! Be sure to check them out! (By the way, I am not the owner nor affiliated with this site. It is free and it does not pay.)

I was travelling a lot in my life. But I also spend a lot of money for it....Two years ago a spend 5 weeks in Australia, six months before that I was travelling to Canada, the Ontario region. I also was in Thailand, USA, in most of the countries in europe, and now south africa. I love to travel and to explore new things, cultures and also to meet new people. That's my life.

Then you must know a lot more countries than the average person. What's your favorite place to visit?

Not bad, I got 65 out of 195. I've done a lot of travelling and geography has alaways been one of my favorite subjects. I'd have got more, but I went blank on some of those that I know well, and I had a problem spelling the names of some that I actually do know in Central and South America and in Africa.

That is pretty good, especially compared to me. I think that your travels and geography has helped a lot in this. I know how you feel as I know more than 44 countries but I cannot seem to remember them when I see a map and a timer. And spelling can be difficult also. Happy mylotting!

Good idea for free time. Thanks and I will try my best to beat you... 44 is not that much, I will make it 45 .lolz. Just kidding... I have to try and see how well I can do.

Yes, 44 is not that much but I'm sure you and I know more than that. I think this game makes me nervous because of the timer and I forget everything!

I think many people only know the large and popular ones like China and US, and then the Middle Eastern countries because of the war and the US troops there.

Thanks for the link, it seems like an interesting site. I tried the game and I found 88 countries. When I was in school I was never very good at geography and I wasn't especially interested in that subject, but as an adult I have become very interested in travelling and other countries. I like to look at maps and I like to make plans about the countries that I want to visit. I also tried some of the other games on the site, it is a great way to have fun and learn something at the same time.

That is very interesting to see how your interests changed as you grew older. Traveling a lot will definitely help you with this. I'm glad you enjoyed the site because I found it on a site mentioning how games like this can help you learn while having fun. And I have to say, its quite addicting once you find a game you like.

I know few of countries whom I can tell about like India,Pakistan,America etc.I believe having knowledge about all countries is a big task because you hardly talk about those countries where you think of going there or many of us hardly heard about it.

I agree it is a big task as not many people would know unless it is part of their profession or expertise.

That is such an enjoyable game. My score was 87 out of 195. I ran out of time to do anymore than that. Travel is my top hobby. I have a good knowledge of geographical locations and countries. So far in my life I have been to 52 different countries. I will be sure to try out some of the other games. Many thanks for finding something like that.

Wow! That is a lot! Although statistically its only half but to know half of the world's countries is a great feat. I would guess that travel has helped you a lot. 52 different countries? Heck, I haven't even been to all 50 states in the U.S.! Anyways, congratulations and good luck in your travels.

I was traveling a lot in my life. I also spent a lot of money for it. But all the money is nothing for the experiences I've done. I was in Australia, Thailand, USA, Canada, the most countries of europe and now south africa. What should i say, I love to travel.....
