I have to admit to being a little addicted to online travel quizzes. Check out JetPunk.com’s How many countries can you name in 5 minutes?

I made it to 71, which seems a bit weak given that I edit a travel site. But I’ll take refuge in the fact that it’s a Friday and my head’s not entirely in “work” mode.

How many did you name? Let us know in the comments below!

I got 51… but there were some countries i knew but did not know how to spell properly in English. It’s hard when it’s timed!

Spelling is my issue as well. Got 62 and crashed. Oh well.

Here’s a link to the “Free Rice” quiz game, if you get answers correct rice is given to poor people.

It started out as a vocabulary site but now has lots of different games.
Geography is just one of them:

Beat you Mike (but only just), with 78! But some of the ones I forgot were really embarrassing …

@Eva, I bow down to you, and am impressed at both your thinking and typing speeds. I’ll have to go into training …

79! I didn’t read the info about how England, Scotlanc, etc. was not in the game, but all under UK. I think I wasted over 20 seconds on that one :/
