I got five [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] . Apparently that's above average though . I was close though with four of the ones I got wrong - Thailand, Romania, Guatemala and Estonia. I was completely wrong with Seychelles. I still have no idea what continent it's even in! I guess Africa... [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]

In my defence... I'm ignorant [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Out of three tries I got an average of 63%. I got several in Africa wrong on each try, got most European and American countries right, but made some mistakes in Asia too. On a bright note the average of Hungarians who have taken the quiz is 60.794%!

Two out of ten... I dropped the US score by .001%, all on my own

African countries... pacific countries... south american countries... I haven't been to any of the ones that came up, so I was officially toast.

Uck, 70%... Where in the world are Nauru, Marshall Islands and Guayana? I can't remember the last one... Anyways, I'm glad I've contributed to bring up my nation's score by some .3%...

There's French and British Guayana, I could show you a map!

Marshall Islands are in the Ocean!

Yes, that is what had me stomped... But I think that French Guayana is now the Guayana they meant, as I think that one broke free...
Oh, and I've finally found Marshall Islands on the Microsoft Encarta 2003... Couldn't get that one if my life was depending on it...
