100 countries done already... hard to believe.
If my math is right, the first cycle ends on August 12.

Keep on trucking!

I still have a week to go before hitting the century mark. After failing many in Week 1 plus a weekend away, Austria was my 91st country.

Austria was my 91st, as well, for a variety of reasons

It's exciting to learn 'a little something' about all these countries. I'm enjoying the trip! (although there aren't enough bathrom breaks :-O )

Ha, I'm only at 51, mainly because I'm not good at researching a lot of the questions, and just don't feel like it, if I scored well on all the games I've played, I'd have 80 easy.... I have only missed about a dozen games. ;-)

Salami, you're allowed to redo the bus ride in the same day. I had to do that once when I didn't get half of the answers right and it was still able to count after the second try. I only missed one because I didn't figure this out until many weeks after I was one question off on Australia day.

I accidentally hit the enter button after one question the other day. When I finished beating myself up for being so dumb, I tried again & was surprised to see my second score counted. So, yes, there is nothing to stop you playing again if your first attempt isn't satisfactory. (But keep it to yourselves.)

All downhill from here...

Shoot, the cat's out of the bag now. My little side business of trading the retake secret for badgelets is over now.

Tomorrow is #100 for me. Hi Pete. It is good to know other people hit the wrong button sometimes.

I accidentally hit the wrong button once. Fortunately, I was on question 7 or 8, so I didn't have to take the test over again.

Since the whole point of the trip is to find out about the countries we visit, having a do-over is probably a good idea.

I always hit enter midway through timed quizzes like Mind Melt or The Daily Game. Of course, with my luck it`s never during untimed quizzes.

Well, I might be a pokey puppy, but I finally got my badge today!

In a year's time, the badge will still be there in you rprofile, and nobody will care whether you got it the first day or even if you did it during the first tour. It's not actually a race, it's an educational sightseeing tour!
