Typing speed is correct but what good is your speed if your GK is not very good? What will you type if you run out of country names??

Centro-P · 17th March 2008, 22:16

I was able to manage 83

tsk1979 · 17th March 2008, 22:19

I did 63. I guess the best you can do with good typing speed is 80

I knew that was coming, which is why I tried to post that banner with the result. Lemme try and hit 100 now. Geography was my favourite subject at school

but there were obviously a lot fewer countries then.
