dg_dave Champion Poster Registered: Sun Oct 05 2003 Posts: 24575 Loc: near Stafford, Virginia USA	I got 35 of 49, and considering I didn't do too much on European geography, being an American, 71.42% isn't too bad. _________________________ The way to get things done is NOT to mind who gets the credit for doing them. --Benjamin Jowett No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. --Eleanor Roosevelt The day we lose our will to fight is the day we lose our freedom.

All those little places with the hard spellings really pulled me up! In actuality, only the northwest portion of Turkey is in Europe. It is one of two countries in the world in TWO continents (Russia being the other).

supersal1 Mainstay Registered: Sat Jul 17 2004 Posts: 727 Loc: Essex UK	The spellings tripped me up a bit. I also took ages trying to get started - I kept typing in England, Scotland and Wales and nothing happened. Apparently they're not countries.

tiffanyram Multiloquent Registered: Tue Jun 13 2006 Posts: 2547 Loc: Tennessee USA	I got 28 of 49. Some of those I knew but couldn't think of then kicked myself for forgetting them. I'm not surprised that I didn't do as well. I took World Geography in High School but we only got as far as Western Europe before the end of the semester and Eastern Europe accounted for most of what I missed! Oh well, I learned something today!--And that is always a good thing _________________________ "One language sets you in a corridor for life.

DovBear Forum Adept Registered: Mon Sep 04 2006 Posts: 146 Loc: The Galilee Israel	That's absurd- it's a geography test. Based on the structure of the Council of Europe anyone could be a potential member with currently allowing Kazakhstan and Japan as having observer status. It needs to stay with true geography I believe. _________________________ I find your lack of faith disturbing- Darth Vader

spanishliz Champion Poster Registered: Thu Dec 13 2001 Posts: 23115 Loc: Ontario Canada	If you want to look at it as a pure geography test, the map was there, and clearly showed the three countries that you're disputing.

srini701 Star Poster Registered: Wed Jan 04 2006 Posts: 11527 Loc: Hyderabad, India	Got 35 and forgot the following 14 Most of the ones I missed are the new "breakaway" countries...

bloomsby Moderator Registered: Sun Apr 29 2001 Posts: 4095 Loc: Norwich Englandï¿½UKï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï...	I didn't get Armenia, Azerbaijan or Georgia. I tend to think of the three republics in the Caucasus as outside Europe. There's a subjective dimension to it.

Flynn_17 Prolific Registered: Tue May 17 2005 Posts: 1138 Loc: Hull Yorkshire England UK	I know that everyone seems to see these countries as subjective, but to be honest, when they're displayed there on the provided map, there's no excuse. _________________________ Oh, a functional love life is like icing a cake - you've got to concentrate!
