I got 25 as well, which seems less impressive since a lot of it was kind of America focused

[Soldi Elektronike]

I spent too long working out how to spell Kyrgyzstan (which I still got wrong)

 

[Roe-st Potato 🥔 🌳]

OK I'm gonna do it again right now because posting an old score is probably cheating.

 

[Roe-st Potato 🥔 🌳]

Probably shouldn't be proud of this.

I did it with 8:07 left @Barnacle

yeah two or three of them were the ones I got “wrong”

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Sporcle I always flounder at around 125. There are always loads I know too, just my rotten memory. I get different ones wrong each time(!)

 

[TiShh]

94% Got the Roman Emperor one wrong and the one about the first computer.

BUT there were some lucky guesses in there (the code Hammurabi anyone) and @ZenGiraffe's above post made me suspect of a couple of the 'All of the Above''s. I'd have probably got the one about rivers wrong if it weren't for that.

 

[TiShh]

5:09 remaining on the countries. Had a brain fart over Kosovo and Fiji

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

I am useless with countries. I always have to sing that song from Animaniacs but then get lost at the second verse, and it is getting increasingly outdated now anyway.
