Test Yourself
03/21/2008 @ 12:00 am
A fun interactive quiz in which you can test your knowledge of Asian countries.
My score, ahem, improved the more times I took the test. It’s those countries between Iran and China and north of India that I don’t have completely sorted . . .
Report back and let us know how you did.
Thanks for posting this, lifted my day.
I need to study a little.
March 21st, 2008 at 12:36 amI got a 67.
Same here, 67.
March 21st, 2008 at 1:19 amToo many -stans
94. A couple of the -stans got me.
March 21st, 2008 at 1:49 am71 out of 96. Southeast Asia got me a couple times there.
March 21st, 2008 at 3:27 am77 Where the heck is Brunai? Al;so, Burma is not where I thought it would be…and those fuckin’ -stans.
March 21st, 2008 at 5:06 amThe interface is a bit clunky. When I click on Mongolia, it keeps telling me I’ve clicked on Russia . . . and I’m definitely NOT clicking on Russia. . . I had this happen once before with Viet Nam.
March 21st, 2008 at 5:16 am56. YIKES! But I can safely say I’ll never forget the Republic of Maldives now…
March 21st, 2008 at 6:38 am78. Even when it told me which Stan was which, I got it wrong again next time one came up. But I haven’t had my coffee yet. That’s why. Yes.
March 21st, 2008 at 7:54 am86, those ’stans are frustrating. I also totally mistook Malaysia and Indonesia, which is embarrassing.
March 21st, 2008 at 5:06 pmNot to mention those Bill’s & George’s.
March 22nd, 2008 at 3:41 amRight. And the Tom Dick and Harrys.
March 22nd, 2008 at 5:35 amPerfect score for me. That is one of the good things about the military, you get good at geography.
March 22nd, 2008 at 3:44 pmGuess I’ gettin’ old. All those nani-nani stans used to just be the USSR. Score: 90
March 22nd, 2008 at 11:39 pm95 — messed up one of the ’stans. (Several lucky guesses also helped).
