I got 162 of the countries, but forgot some blatantly obvious ones (e.g. Ireland, South Africa) because it's late, the countries were getting covered up, and I was spending a fair amount of time trying to get the obscure ones, so I ran out of time before getting more in.

I thought the 100 most common words in the English language one was pretty good (and quite a bit harder than I expected).

I got 73/100 on the most common words in the english language. I could have sworn I typed in a few that I missed though.

Wow. How pathetic we are. What's so hard about remembering all of the states? really?

Yeah, that one was interesting. I did rather poorly. I actually started reading labels I had around my desk, hoping to get some more of them. It actually worked a bit.


I got 124/195 on the countries. This is largely thanks to the Onion's atlas. I've been reading that nonstop on the shitter, and I thought of jokes that I read, and they jogged my memory very well. Without that, I would have well south of 100.
