Very cool site indeed! A bit embarrased over my score though but I will share it anyway. 40% the first time and 60% the second time.

Ah, you were lower than me, so I can share now as well
I had 60% first, 80% second, confusing Niger with Nigeria and Haiti with whatever :lol)
Love this site, they have the greatest puzzle for sale, with parts shaped in the forms of countries.

At home now so new computer and 70% the first time, 90% the second time. Confusing Micronesia with Vanuatu... Worked better when one was rested instead of in the middle of the night! I'm addicted now!

Hey Guys!
I always knew that in Canada we were brighter and a lot more intelligent than the rest of the world. I scored 100% on the first try and 90% on the second try (I mistook Macedonia for Moldova
).
I helped improve Canada's score to 55.822% (+0.024%). If I play this game a thousand more times I can improve Canada's score to about 75% I guess!
