The first time I got 20%,then 30%. Not bad for someone who didn't take geography!

Well, I helped make up for you-all's lameness. I got 90%, correctly placing Indonesia, Iceland, Iraq, the Seychelles, Liechtenstein, Brazil, Kenya, Greece, and the Bahamas. Only one I got wrong was Guinea, which I placed where Liberia ought to be.
I raised Massachusetts's score by .006%! I bet I'd have had much more influence if I had played for New Hampshire...
...back to work now. Done bragging.

Crap. I just undid Peter's good work by getting only Tunesia, Paraguay and oh, man...can't remember the 3rd one. I really need to look at some maps. I'm currently epitomizing the ignorant American stereotype.

I think the little circle ones are a scam--I lost three of those--I so know the difference between luxembourg and belgium.
60%--confused lesotho and swaziland
Yeah, and I totally guessed where benin is.

Even though I feel dumber every time I take this quiz, I can't stop. It's addictive! It's addictive! 30% again. I got Luxemborg, Monaco and Madagascar.
