I took it twice in a row just now and got 100% both times. The hardest one was Nauru, but I guessed right. The "Next" button should be bigger, I keep missing it and clicking another country accidentally.



I had the same problem. Both with Nauru and with the next button!

Togo/Benin are easy. I always know that Togo is between Benin and Ghana since I always use it as the proof that "spreading of democracy" like Bush talks about is complete and utter bullsh**t (Togo has been a repressive dictatorship forever, it's right between Ghana and Benin, two of the freest democracies in Africa.)

I know Togo, because it is the skinny one. I've known where Togo was since I was maybe 7ish after seeing a presentation on it by someone working with something. (Details are very fuzzy)

90%.  Damn Kiribati.  Give me anything else but the South Pacific atolls (I got Fiji right), and I'll ace the test.  Heck, give me the outlines of their sea borders and I might have a chance.

Replace 'Kiribati' with 'Vanatu' and you have my score and my thoughts.

The political class has demonized the working class because the political class no longer represents the working class.  Neither Republicans or Democrats.

80%

Don't know where Comoros and Vanautu are.

Can get pretty much everything except Africa and the South Pacific. I suppose that Southeast Europe can be a bit confusing too.

Took it again.

First attempt: 100%

Second attempt: 90% (Wrong: Fiji)

Third attempt: 80% (Wrong: Tonga, Gabon)


Fine, I admit that I have my problems with Africa and the Pacific Ocean. Wink

Eh, but that dictatorship is propped up by us dastardly Germans. Sad

80%, then 90%

Missed Cape Verde and Guyana in the first one and confused Namibia with Angola in the second one.

Interesting that in the rankings Norway and Sweden are last and that Idaho is third!  Woot!

90%.  I confused Liberia and Sierra Leone.  I knew before I took the test that those are two of the only countries I might miss, and sure enough I did.  O well.
