Name that country!

I know I've linked to this before, but it's awesome.

The second you click through, a countdown clock starts. You need to type in as many country names as you can think of before five minutes runs out. And you need to get the country names exactly as they want them...the formal accepted names, I guess.

Go!

Wait, what?

Here's a fun quiz to see how well you observe everyday things.

Rob and I took it together and got 19 out of 20, but I would have done much worse without him. He also disagreed with the quiz's answer to one of the questions, so there you have it, America.

Number game

Fun number quiz -- it's kind of easy to figure out how they do it, but the first time you try it it's really neat.

Degrees of simplicity

I took the Blog Readability Test, and apparently this site is written at an undergraduate level. Heh. Yep, that's me, perennial undergrad (even though I did graduate, and in four years, nonetheless).

Let them be cake

My friend Ann sent me this quick quiz: Which kind of cake are you?

Apparently she is a lemon cake, and Rob is strawberry, but anyone who knows me (or rather, my taste in cake) could have told you what I'd be.

You Are a Chocolate Cake

Fun, comforting, and friendly.
You are a true classic, and while you're not super cutting edge, you're high quality.
People love your company - and have even been known to get addicted to you.

Ruh-roh

Love this quiz: You decide if the crime described was ripped from the headlines, or from a Scooby-Doo plot.

Smarty pants

Are you smart or stoopid? According to this quiz, I'm 45.9% smarter than average, whatever that means. (Via Zannah.)

Fifty nifty United States

I posted this in my MSNBC Weblog, Test Pattern, but thought I'd share it here, too.

Here's a fun online quiz, but before you click this link, you need to know how it works. Once you click though, a 10-minute timer will start, and you'll have that time to type in all 50 state names. Spell them correctly, of course, and hit "enter" after each one. When you've typed them all, or your 10 minutes is up, the game is over.

I began by thinking of states that I'd visited or where friends lived, then trying to fill in the rest from my mental map of the country. My husband did it by trying to fill in one complete region of the country completely before moving on to another. However you do it, it's pretty interesting to see what states come first -- and last -- to your mind. Are you ready? GO!
