How Well Do You Know Africa?

In the (identical copy) vein of 50 States in 10 Minutes, I present:

53 African Countries (http://mytruepeeps.com/africa.html)

Good luck.

edit: I had 39 remaining, so I guessed 14. I missed some obvious ones too, like Rwanda, Sudan and Sierra Leone. And, if you get desperate, just know that North Africa is not a country. I tried.

edit2: Let's just make this a "How Many Of These Stupid Things Are You Willing To Do?" thread. Here are Capitals (http://www.randominsanityonline.com/50capitals.html) and my personal pick for "You've gotta be kidding me," Every Single Country In The World. (http://andys.org.uk/countryquiz/)

5 / 53

I'm not too good with foreign geography, unless it's Europe

I'm down pat with South America because of History combined with Spanish class. I know all the countries and their capitals.

I thought of twenty. I was trying tio visualize a map of Africa, but I forgot to visualize embassy row, Massachusetts Ave. and vicinity in D.C. and International Drive. I sometimes deliver/pick-up passports/documents to embassies. I can tell you the street address of the embassies of some of the countries I couldn't come up with during the test. :o

I got 35, quite happy with that.

Who would have thought that the Seychelles were part of Africa? Ah well, I expect this to be the continent where my knowledge is most lacking. I didn't even attempt the state capital one, I could only think of Baton Rouge, Columbia, Tallahassee and Albany - is there one for the capital cities of the world?

I had 16 remaining. I had gotten pretty good at that game where you place names to countries, but coming up with the names off the top of my head was much harder!
