22, 33 & 16. I'll defy anyone who got the obscure Russian cities.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Some geographical ones today - an old'un, and two new ones:

Landlocked countries - 41/44

Outlines of countries - 18/24

Cities of Spain - (a measly) 12/20

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Some random ones:

Guerilla movements - 8/10

Pre-Euro Currencies - 18/19

I did landlocked a while back - 36/44. The other two I did this week and got 21/24 and 17/20.

Worryingly, looking at my 'stats' page to check out my landlocked score reveals that I have done a total of 846 quizzes on Sporcle. Rather addictive that site.

I really need to register and keep score. I think my stats would be 'worryingly' similar! 35, 23 and 12 for me BTW.

Well worth it. Allows you to leave snidey remarks in the comments section too. Particularly at people who moan about quizzes that are too/not enough focused on a particular area. No-one's making you do that quiz on 'Cy Young award winners' so if you don't like it, don't ****ing do it!

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Randomly interesting - 17/25 plus a bonus.

Flattest Countries

State capitals of Oz

I was a bit slower as I didn't read the instructions and just started typing without realising it needed to be in order!

Looking forward to the 'F' game though, those letter ones are great fun. One to do once my lunchtime baguette arrives :slurp:

I have sporcle to thank for knowing how to spell that.

47/47 with a minute something left. Slowed down by those former Yugoslavian countries (and some fat fingered typing).

You gotta deliver better than that Mailman.

47/47 for the Stock with his short shorts. Couple of minutes remained to run a few pick and rolls.
