192 - 131 = 61

(do I pass my maths' exam?)

Re: todays quiz - how many countries can you name
 

I missed 129 countries.

I found it surprisingly difficult.

Re: todays quiz - how many countries can you name
 

93 named ... 99 remaining (can't believe I missed Egypt!)

EDIT: Think I should explain that last year me and a mate were looking at something called The Travellers Century Club and in doing a little research we read through some of the 317 "official" countries listed, so I just tried to type some of those from memory - but admittedly, the spelling of some of them caught me out ;-) and some of them aren't actually member states of the UN, so I typed them over and over before I realised :oops: (oh and I'm a fairly fast typist/typer ;-) so that helps!!)

Re: todays quiz - how many countries can you name

Re: todays quiz - how many countries can you name
 

I thought of 18 (mostly based on countries in the rugby world cup :lol:) before I got bored and stopped.

... Ooh look! Pretty butterfly!...

Re: todays quiz - how many countries can you name
 

Strangely, I almost missed Denmark ... I started with all the ones in Europe I could think of. Then did a few from Eastern Europe, Russia, Czech Republic, Australia (thought of due to having just typed Austria), New Zealand, then back through Thailand and the far east, China, Japan, (think Pearl Harbour) -> United States/Canada/Mexico -> South American countries -> few from Africa, back up to Middle East (UAE, Jordan, Oman, Iran, Israel, Iraq) -> India, Nepal, Bangladesh ... then I started to try some of the more obscure ones I remembered from "The Travellers Century Club" thing I mentioned ... AND THEN (for some obscure, unknown reason), I suddenly remembered Scandinavia! But in remembering them, I still forgot about Denmark for a while:rolleyes: Strange how the mind works ... kinda pictured a world atlas laid out in front of my mind and just reeled off as many as I could (thankfully, my spelling and typing assisted me greatly :D)
