	I'm kinda surprised so many people got South Korea without thinking of North Korea...

	Ha, I only missed the least-missed one (Norway)

	@hondo: My mind went to Office Space, thinking of that guy giving his girl, the "Oh' face.

	I typed in 'Korea,' didn't get a hit, and summarily forgot about both of them. /facepalm

	Haha- I expected there to be more countries than this with an "O" as the second letter! Good quiz!

	The way my mind never ceases to confuse me....no problem with Kosovo, Montenegro, Comoros or the Solomon Islands but Portugal...no chance!!! Good quiz!

	For some reason Togo always pops into my mind first.

	fifteenkeys:	Sep 9th, 2010 at 12:51 GMT	13 points
	Wow, I see what I missed and the first thing that pops up in my head is Bush saying: "You forgot Poland"....

	Bow did I miss South Africa, the most populated country on this list and number one on my travel list? a real facepalm... but I got Togo, Dominica and Comoros to boot!

	When the first country that springs to mind is Bosnia & Herzegovina, you know you've played plenty of these kinds of quizzes

	what's with the people getting south korea, but not north korea?

	cryptopian:	Sep 9th, 2010 at 15:11 GMT	4 points
	Classic Sporcle syndrome. Perfectly happy with Comoros and Tonga, but Morroco? Skips merrily past Morroco

	^ Just thought, it probably doesn't help that I've been spelling Morocco wrong either.

	No bonus for Congo?

	@westknife & chemhee100: I almost did the same thing, because I thought first of South Africa and South Korea, and was proud of myself for remembering to think of the word "South" as a second-letter O word. It just didn't occur to me until a little later that "North" has the same property. Everyone's mind works a little differently (some of us are just glad they work at all...).

	DerekH:	Sep 9th, 2010 at 19:46 GMT	2 points
	I typed 'korea', and then spent about 30 seconds staring at it and thinking "But the second letter's an 'O'" before the penny dropped - twice!

	BonnieH:	Sep 9th, 2010 at 19:51 GMT	-3 points
	Modagascar? Nope. Nogeria? Nope. Donmark? Nope. I missed five. I was interrupted but I was panicking as the clock ran out too so I'm not sure that extra 15 seconds would've helped me get them all or not.

	Holland is actually called the Netherlands. Therefore Holland shouldn't be accepted unfortunately.

	I did try it as a bonus.

	i need to start referring to ivory coast as cote d'ivoire obviously! Only one i missed!

	I wasted so much time trying to spell Colombia with a "u"!

	ShortyNJ:	Sep 9th, 2010 at 23:37 GMT	8 points
	Culombia?

	tbh444:	Sep 9th, 2010 at 23:54 GMT	-1 points
	It used to be common to spell rumania with a u until about the 80s, not sure why that changed. And back then congo would have likely been on the list, and cote divoire definitely not.

	I can't help but think of George W. Bush yelling "You forgot Poland!"

	Oh Portugal, why do I always forget you?

	No matter how many times I take geography quizzes, I can never seem to consider Kosovo as a country for some reason.
