    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
