I apologize if this has been posted before, but it is addictive and fun. (I also apologize for sharing an addictive web thingy with other internet addicts) :D

I went there ready for the challenge and I started entering countries, but it didn't seem to take them. I tried entering one at a time and pressing the Enter key, that didn't work. I tried entering all in a row, it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

:o

[chiguirre]

You have to refresh the site to get it to work. I got 93 countries and I think that's my limit. I just can't type any faster!

[Mabelen]

I am typing the country name in the box and then pressing the Enter key. That does not work. How does it work?

How did you ladies do it?

Mabelen

[Mabelen]

Please walk me through the process. You get there, you type the first country, then what? And then?

Thank you,

Mabelen

[j.griff]

go to the site, refresh the page
then enter a country's name, as long as there are no typos it enters it automatically, you do not need to press enter

Sorry - duplicate post.

When I did it, as soon as I put in a correct name and it cleared immediately to allow me to type the next name. If it doesn't clear, it means it didn't recognise the name, for example if you typed in 'England' instead of 'United Kingdom'

I got 62 - I guess I don't type as fast as Julianna.

Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Ethiopia, Fiji, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Laos, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Nepal, New Zealand, North Korea, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Vietnam, Zambia, Zimbabwe,

I didn't do well, spelling errors messed me up!

Not working for me. I enter a country, and nothing happens. Maybe because I'm on a Mac.

Yeah. No kidding. I was going to answer by saying that the number I can name depends entirely on whether or not I've had coffee recently with PariSarah. :p

I'm not EVEN going there, girl. I'll never get off this bleeping computer if I do!

Where is that anyway?

My first country didn't work because I put in 'America', which of course is not a country. It's picky about nomenclature and there are some countries I didn't try because the full name was too long (or I couldn't spell it!).

I have never, ever heard of it.

It seems to be run by the US navy. Is it really a country?
