You're all thickos

[ríomhaire]

Prove your knowledge:
Countries of the world
I got 76 out of 195 and I knew loads of the ones I missed. When that countdown starts you forget half of everything you know.

All 151 Pokémon


Also I made a couple of quizes (basically they're all name chapters from HL games)

Let me finish this video I'm watching and then I'll show you how awesomely knowledgeable about countries I am!

 

[Azner]

64.

Forgot most of the Balkans and most of Africa and the middle east. Also, i can't spell Papa New Guinea. Nor can i spell Philippines aparently.

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Damn, 72. That's pathetic.

 

[lefty]

I was literally thinking to myself, "who have we invaded?"

 

[Raziaar]

64.

AGH ****. I forgot Philippines. And I tried entering Balkans but it didn't take for some reason.

I ended up getting 99.

Some of these countries I would have never ever guessed. King of the Hill helped me get Laos.

EDIT: I cheated when it came to the Congo. I kept typing Congo but it wasn't coming up, so I looked it up and found out it was called the Democratic Republic of the Congo... so I guess I only got 98.

 

[Raziaar]

Haha, I remember this.

EDIT: Double Post. Oops.

 

[lame-o]

59 :\ then when it showed the answers I facepalmed.

 

[ChiliFan]

85.

GCSE Geography didn't help at all.

Also I typed in like 5 different attempts at spelling Kyrgyzstan and none of them were right.

 

[kupocake]

87. It's easier having the world map to jog your memory. Also, us Europeans have a massive advantage over you North Americans. We pick up so many bullshit points for crazy principalities. Still managed to forget Switzerland (one of three places I've actually been) and Poland (add that to the list of historical injustices against the poor buggers).

My knowledge was terribly biased towards the Northern Hemisphere. Missed great swathes of Central America, Africa and Southern Asia. What a world we live in.

edit: And yes, I did have to spellcheck "Herzegovina".
edit2: Also, I probably had about 70-ish by the ten minute mark. Was a real squeeze to come out with the rest.

 

[Raziaar]

Africa is by far the hardest.

It would be just so easy if we could call it a Country and be done with it.

Damn you Sarah Palin!

 

[CR0M]

United Kingdom is not a country but a sovereign state made up of 4 countries. Whoever made the quiz is a thicko.

I know. I tried typing Scotland and it wouldn't work! I tried typing England as well... but had to settle with United Kingdom.

 

[MJ12]

thurs only 5 countries, americuh, britian, mexico, and chinese.

 

[YROC]

nvm, obtaining my poke score now.

I thought I knew them all. D;

Spoiler

 

[Dan]

156 on first try. Missed a few obvious ones like Switzerland, Venezuela, Honduras, Guatemala, Saudi Arabia, Armenia.

 

[lefty]

bahahaha "Chad". It's like the "cool" alter ego of a high school loser.

 

[Raziaar]

St. Kitts and Nevis? How the **** did you get that, and yet you didn't get Taiwan? LOL

 

[Dan]

I just memorized them all in groups of continent. Obviously my memory is a bit leaky. St Kitts and Nevis is catchy.

 

[Bob_Marley]

This lists Kosovo as a country.

I'll not have any further part of it.

before I got to that - 91 with 6 minutes to spare

 

[Minister]

I can name them all, this is what first year engineering does to you. Sporcle.com was the one and only procrastination tool.

Capitals of the world is my next goal, but it is going rather slowly.

Yeah, the only thing I learned in first physics was how to list all the elements in the periodic table.

 

[Barnz]

You got 3 out of 9 chapters of Half-Life: Decay.

 

[Sheepo]

Am I tripping balls or was this exact thread made several months ago?

 

[<RJMC>]

118

suck it bitches.....................*looks at others scores*

at least I got tuvalu and vanuatu bitches

 

[Raziaar]

The country thing was done a couple times in the past.

Not as catchy as St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It's a band name right out of the box. I couldn't spell Philippines either.
I got 87. Damn my insular Americanism.

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Dammit, Latvia! That's what it's called in English! Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania! Crap.

 

[Kadayi]

75. I'd of gotten a few more but my typing sucks.

 

[schlitzer]

Dammit, Wartortle! That's what it's called in English! Squirtle, Wartortle and Blastoise! Crap.

Fixed. I really didn't think I'd fail THAT much with English Pokemon names, only got like ten. :\

Also, I could only name 50-something countries. I always sucked at geography, I don't know a lot of English country names, and I have trouble focusing on doing one thing for more than five minutes, so it's not a surprise that I wouldn't excel here. But, at least I learned the names of all countries in South America through this! Colombia, Suriname, and Guyana! I am sure I will have forgotten about you tomorrow!

 

[Reginald]

120! I never realised I was that good. There were a few obvious ones I missed and it didn't help that I ran out of time.

Now onto Pokemon. 151 here I come!

I can name... Charizard, Jiggly Puff, Bulbasaur, Onix.

That's about it.

Missingno is a secret #152.

You guys are ****ing with my mind.

 

[Reginald]

As expected, I got all 151 because I am a nerd. It's also incredibly sad that I typed out the first 45 in order without even thinking about it. :|

 

[DEATH eVADER]

I know the countries, I don't know how to spell them D:

 

[Raziaar]

Apparently Switzerland is not a country?

I managed to get Switzerland. It's there.

Did you spell it correctly?

 

[Shyam]

81 countries. I am bad at this.

 

[Letters]

I got 70...



Pokemon.



My 8th grade self is appalled.

 

[Ennui]

I got about 30 pokemon in and abandoned it in frustration because for every pokemon name I remembered, I remembered 2 other pokemon but had no idea what their name was anymore.
