This time I got 88.  I'm determined to get at least 100 and I think I can if I practice this enough.  It's nice to be competitive with something like this. sm4

All I know is what he taught me. Love, friendship, and what it means to truly live. Some call him a monster, something children are terrified by. I only know him by what he called himself.

93 this time, and it's getting harder because any stalling pretty makes this impossible.  I'm improving though, and I hope to get at least 100 soon, lol.

I got a 72 after trying about a million times sm4. I just forget really simple ones (for example I remembered how to spell Kazakhstan but completely forgot Germany, and the pathetic part is that I'm German). :P

I forgot Germany the first time too, lol, and it was the main one I missed.  My worst area for remembering was Africa and the Middle East.  Not because I don't know them, but I just had a mental block.  What about Kyrgyzstan?

Must have forgotten about this.  I should try to beat that 100 again. :P  I seem to know a lot of obscure countries every time.  That's what happens when you look through atlases so often.
