Geography test: "Guess the Country Shape." Take it and post your score.

[ProudModerate2]

New game!
Geography Test.
Guess the country shape from an outline from a random selection of 50 nations.

Test done while watching a YouTube video.
You need to keep track of your own score while you are taking the test. So have a piece of scratch paper and pen handy, so you can keep track of the number you got wrong (or correct, whichever is easier for you).

There are 50 nations depicted. So your score is based on 50 points.
There is a 4-part series to this, but this one is graded as "Easy." The others are Medium, Hard and Extreme.

Good luck.

I got 5 wrong out of 50.
45/50 correct.
= 90%
A- (barely)

[John Dule]

I managed 100% on this one, though it took me two tries.

49/50. I only missed #21, I thought it was Burma/Myanmar instead of Thailand.

[It’s so Joever]

50/50
If you want to make it even more challenging, try naming capital and largest city within the timeframe.

This one is much more challenging.
First try I missed 18 (178/196)

Those damned microstates look so different up close, and the islands are extremely difficult (although we won’t have to worry about a few of them in a few decades)

Nice job getting 100%!

As indicated in an earlier post above, I got a score of 45/50. I got two regret, incorrect answers:

1.  I got Pakistan incorrect. I gave no answer, as I was not sure. But then after seeing the correct answer, I said to myself "Oh that one was easy. I should have known that. Ugggg."
2.  When I saw the shape of Croatia, I knew it was one of the "new" countries from the breakup of former Yugoslavia, but could not remember exactly which one. So this one I give myself, half a point.

Also, I question how The Gambia could possibly be included in their "Easy" test. What in the world has happened in The Gambia (in the last 100 years or so) that would make it a nation, where people constantly see (its shape) or read about?

Well The Gambia and Senegal being included is a bit odd, but ehhh I think it was fair.  [/spolier]

I got a 100/got all of them right

This test is their "Easy" test, and they also have a Medium, Hard and Extreme. I'm just saying that The Gambia (and Senegal for that matter) should have at least been in the Medium test and not the Easy. I quickly did the Medium test, and it included both Iraq and Iran. Both of those easily qualify as being "Easy" before The Gambia and Senegal (and not Medium) ... don't you think?

Good job on getting them all!

[Former President tack50]

Did the Dule test instead of that one (since it is much better imo)

Got 164/196, or 83.6%. Not bad at all, especially considering all the Caribbean and Pacific islands that are very hard to tell apart

[Santander]

I managed 100% on this one, though it took me two tries.

Quiz is bugged. It didn't accept my spelling for Niger.

[West_Midlander]

You scored 168/196 = 86%

You are the type of person who would try to get a coworker fired because they used the word "ndly."

50/50 on the first try. Not bad, not bad.

(Also did the capitals as someone suggested, got 47/50 of those)

Nerds!

I'm good with maps and I only got 61 on Dule's link.  Africa is hard (and I like to think I know the African countries pretty well) but I did get Togo and Benin (and the obvious ones) somehow, the island countries that aren't big/important ones are impossible.  The Balkans and Baltics were hard too (only got Estonia and Croatia).  Who the hell knows what Latvia looks like when it's not on a map?  You nerds do, that's who.  The former USSR -stans I still can't figure out (even on a blank map), are there any tricks to learning them?



<I call you nerds out of love (and mockery), not hate (and mockery).  There is nothing wrong with being a nerd about something.  Maybe being a nerd about maps isn't as useful as being a nerd about, say, minor home repairs, but it's every bit as useful as being a nerd about basketball or math or cars or shoes>

I'm pretty sure being a math nerd is both practical and lucrative.

Being one myself, I can confirm it is neither.

I have not even completed my first year in university, I am not getting any jobs (especially math-related jobs).

I keep falling asleep halfway through the video.

I got about 10 countries in before deciding it wasn’t worth my time. (10/10, btw). I tried the 4th video and got something like 5/10 on the first 10 of those. The small island chains are basically impossible.

For the USSR:
Kazakhstan is the largest one by far. Turkmenistan is closest to Turkey. Uzbekistan has very straight lines on their western border. Kyrgyzstan has a lake in the middle of it, and Tajikistan is the smallest one in the Southeast. Does that help at all?
