Identify as many countries as you can on the map in 5 minutes.

I got 46/49, missed Malta, San Marino, and Azerbaijan (which i thought is part of central Asia)

even if i knew there is no way in hadees i could type them all out in five minutes

Odd. It lists Turkey as a European country, when the bulk of the landmass (and half the capital) are in Asia.

I fail at european geography, but if you put a body chart in front of me, I can name every single part (which is vastly more than europe has countries).

Yes, I also wouldn't consider Turkey, Cyprus, etc, part of Europe. Nor Iceland. Russia is questionable.

47/49 missed Andorra and San Marino.

Iceland considers itself tied to Europe socially and politically (well, culturally/historically too).

wow - impressive guys! I only got the western 25

Of course I wasted a full minute trying to figure out how I misspelled wales, england, and scotland

Wow there are 49 countries in Europe?! I learn something new every day.

And Greenland doesn't?

Besides, I thought that this was a geography test ;]

tau_neutrino · 03-21-2007, 09:07 PM

Greenland should probably be included as well, but its distance from continental Europe makes its inclusion a bit weaker.

Besides, Iceland (part of it) is on the correct tectonic plate as the rest of Europe

The discovery of tectonic plates came after the classification of continents, and only has to do with what is and what isn't a continent, because tectonic plates are what caused landmasses to become seperated. There are many cases that I can name in which a place is considered to be on the same continent and is on a seperate tectonic plate, or a place is on the same tectonic plate, but considered to be on a different continent.

The argumant over what is a planet is much like the argument between geographers and geologists. Which is more important, the traditional classification, or the scientinfic knowledge of how the object formed.

I know, I was only joking

Icelandic people consider themselves to be European; not sure about Greenlanders though.
