I got 90/196, probably because the only countries I actually pay attention to/remember are ones that compete in Eurovision. All other countries in the world are meaningless.

I tried again & got 89/196, not bad... I was kicking myself for not knowing the South America countries...

And to JSnow (above) what is your definition of Beef, then? |
beef, in culinary terms, includes the 9 following cuts (by US standards, other countries may sub-divide some of these cuts but for simplicity these are easier to remember) : rib, chuck, shank, loin, sirloin, brisket, round, flank and plate
other parts such as heart, brain, kidneys, testicles,liver, blood and even the tail (which btw makes an awesome stew) are part of the cow but aren't really considered beef (in culinary terms)

You learn something new every day. I would have said beef = cow (at least the bits you can eat).
Good work Jsnows.

Does geography actually teach about the globe?
I remember at the start of Year 7 we covered Italy, and from then on it was just rocks, rock formations, rivers, bits of rocks in rivers, and then more rocks. I shit you not, i learnt about world flags from Total War games.

All we do in my Geography is Globalisation & Development.
I learnt my world flags from an atlas.

North / South America are both continents but United States of America is a country, depends if the reader wants to be pedantic or not really though
I'm a sad f**k and got too many right than i should off, but i did like geography in school and went on to study travel and tourism and done a year (not that much) in a travel agent
