    20/20 of course. Anyone who can't manage this should go back and repeat 2nd class.

    Got 20 out of 20 in about 30 seconds. But then I have a postgrad degree in Geography...:pac:

    The quiz was too easy, they should ask questions like - in which county is this town/river/mountain range etc.

    Were I doing a degree in geography, you might have a point. But it isn't exactly relevant to my current field of study.

    18/20 first time ... damn northern counties :(
    Had to keep doing it until I eventually got 20/20 then! :D

    It might not be but this is basic stuff you learn in primary school. The kind of stuff you can't (or shouldn't) forget. I remember being thought Irelands mountain ranges, rivers, watersheds, lakes etc in primary school. I retained it all. Simple stuff.

    17 out of 20, got all the UK county's wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,076 ✭✭✭Eathrin


    "you're" but no, we are not proud for that mistake. :D

    My heart has sank :(

    Yeah I understand but apparently I haven't retained it. Some people have forgotten maths or grammar they learned then; I've forgotten this. It seems I just spend so much time in Dublin that I don't see the need to remember the locations of the other counties.

    Actually, it has sunk. I'm sorry.

    20/20 first go, but I always liked Georgrapy when I was in Primary School. I know many people these days also who don't know where a county is in the country.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 802 ✭✭✭kiwipower


    15 out a 20.
    Missed: Offaly, Fermanagh, Antrim, Louth, Tyrone,
    (And Offaly was the mouses fault not mine!)

    Not bad for someone who origionally comes from another country!

    Dont know how I gout Louth wrong. It being the smallest county!

    Five goes and I got 20/20 YAY!

    Still a bit week round the Northen counties and Cavan Monaghan!

    Any more puzzles like these around?

    20/20 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 112 ✭✭Geog


    With a name like, 'Geog', I was pretty relieved to get 20/20. I must admit that there were a few that almost caught me, especially Longford but as a process of elimination, I got it.
