Where in the world is...
Given a time limit and an outline map, how well do you know the countries of the world and the geography of the U.S.? I found the Europe and South America tests online, and then Patrick decided he wanted to create the others. Be sure to pass along the US ones to your foreign friends to see how well they do.
Europe - There are 49 countries, and you have 5 minutes. KK's score: 32 (because I couldn't remember which were in Asia and which were Europe)
South America - There are 13 countries, and you have 3 minutes. KK's score: 9 (but I was cheated, because I couldn't spell one)
United States - There are, of course 50 states, and you have 5 minutes. KK's score: 50 in 4:11.
US Capitals - Again, 50 capitals in only 7 minutes. KK's score: 35 (stupid fly-over states)
Africa - 50 countries, 7 minutes. KK's score: 28 (and I forgot some of the big, easy-to-remember ones)

Capitals - 45 (46 if I'd remembered Salem 2 seconds earlier)
Africa - 30 (whaddya mean Rhodesia isn't a country anymore)
South America - 12 (French Guyana is spelled with an I since when??)
Europe - 38 (stupid former soviet union..)
South America - 12/13
US Capitals - 50, but only after four tries. The first time I got 29.
Africa - 28. I agree about Western Sahara being a country.
