I love this website. There are quizzes on every possible thing you can imagine. I am particularly fond of the geography ones: I can now name all 196 countries of the world in about 7 minutes (it kind of cheats, because there is a map right there that changes the color of each country as you guess it, and it lists the ones you have already named alphabetically so you kind of get a clue as to what you are missing, but it still took me forever to get to the point where I know them all!). There are quizzes on NFL stats and latin word roots and song lyrics--you name it. I am a bit of a geography nut so that is where I focus, but my husband and I will often do the random/general knowledge ones together. Definitely a fun site--check it out! JetPunk

I just played Countries of the World and I'm ashamed of my grade. Let's see if I do better after watching the Olympics.

I sent the link to my daughter after you posted about it earlier. She knows the flag of most every country - even really obscure ones I've never heard of or seen. She kicked butt on the flag quiz and now we're addicted to taking quizzes. There are some we absolutely shame ourselves with.

Off to check it out.. Is there an app for the phone?? lol
It sounds like a game I used to play on FB when FB was new... I loved playing it.. I got good with flags and countries.....and brushed up on US trivia .....
Edited to add... apparently I just suck at the countries... I got like 96 out of 196... it was like 33%... geez. I really need to brush up on the African countries.
And I know technically England is not the name but damn it.. I couldn't think of United Kingdom for the life of me.. lol
