Take the quiz and see how well you can do naming the African nations. The highest you can score is 141: They have 47 countries listed and you have 3 shots at finding the country. If you get it on the first attempt you get 3 points, 2nd attempt=2 points, 3rd attempt=1 point.

I'm pretty much getting all the countries, but there are still a few I get mixed up like Burundi/Rwanda, the 2 different Congos, and Zimbabwe/Zambia.

So who can top me on this quiz???!!!!

8. 131

but I grew up in South Africa so I have inside knowledge.

2. My score was so low I'm embarrassed to post it

Give me an hour to cram and I could ace this, but that would be cheating.

3. I Got a Perfect Score!

Can't believe it. I'm just one of those people who like to stare at maps of Africa for hours on end.

[LynneSin]

5. I got them all right...

...just had to try a few times to get them

:eyes:

4. First try 115, then I cheated to get 141.

6. Just for you: Canada Quiz (I got a 35 out of 39)

I couldn't find the damn Prince Edwards Island because it was so small on the map :eyes:

And I mixed up Manitoba with Alberta but got it right the next pick

9. The fact that most freepers couldn't find Africa on a map...

[Frederic Bastiat]

15. Perfect score, but I spent a few years there

[MAlibdem]

[Teddy_Salad]

18. Damn Burkina Faso!!!

I always thought Burkina Faso was a Brazilian soccer player...not an African nation!

[LynneSin]

21. That use to be known as Upper Volta

:bounce:

[Teddy_Salad]

23. Ohhh..... Upper Volta!

He was one hell of a soccer player!!

Not Brazilian though. He was Burkina Faso-sian.

[Bill McBlueState]

20. I got 141/147

for Africa. But my "points possible" are higher than everyone else's?

[smirkymonkey]

24. 138

did very well on all the quizzes except for the Carribean, totally bombed. I didn't even know the islands I had visited!

I used to know all the world capitals too, but I am a little rusty on them now.
