I only got 33. Honestly, you'd think after taking a year of Geography class and sitting next to a world map every day for two years would have helped.
Also, about a quarter of them I've never heard of.
[spoiler]St. Kitts and Nevis?! jhbljhbljhljhbv[/spoiler]
After a while I couldn't remember anymore and just starting typing in fictional places (Krakatoa, Amestris, Hyrule,...)
[Spoiler]...Although, I remembered Bulgaria because of Viktor Krum[/spoiler]

You have to memorize it XD
though, I would have likely used it too...
I didn't have it playing in the background. I listened to it between playings.
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE TAKEN THIS DARN QUIZ. I think I've gotten up to 152.
Another GREAT quiz is the periodic table of elements. I had no idea that I had so limited knowledge of the periodic table. It's renewed my interest in chemistry. I'm a loser and I never memorized the period table.... or does that make me a WINNER? O_O

Yakko's world FTW!!!!! I watched a bunch of Animaniacs last night so I think that helped a lot...

second try- I got 155! It's ok OtakuJordan, I forgot that one too. 
I'd never forgive myself if I got less than 100- in 2007 I was in the State Level National Geographic Bee for California (best 100 middle school competitors in the state) I felt really stupid there, and I still don't know how I got in there xD

76.
[spoiler]I don't know diddly about Africa, apparently, and I didn't know about South Sudan either. I did get Kyrgyzstan though. Didn't even have to look up the spelling! Also, I cannot believe I forgot the Netherlands. Really, about 10 minutes in I started losing steam and couldn't think of anything. I also forgot obvious stuff like Ireland, Finland, New Zealand and North and South Korea. I guess I just don't work well under pressure.[/spoiler]

Oh, I would attempt this... but one of my friends in college became drug addicted to Sporcle, so I promised myself I never would.
...you must begin a reading program immediately so that you may understand the crises of our age... Begin with the late Romans, including Boethius, of course. Then you should dip rather extensively into early Medieval. You may skip the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. That is mostly dangerous propaganda. Now that I think of it, you had better skip the Romantics and the Victorians too. For the contemporary period, you should study some selected comic books.
