Picture the scene.
You're at work, school, college or university, and you're a little bit bored of doing the work so you search the Internet for some games to play but don't particularly want to be caught playing a game.
So why not try something "mentally stimulating" like Sporcle (http://www.sporcle.com)?
There are a wide range of quizzes on there that are suited to many people's tastes.
If you find any quizzes that you like, post them here so that others can have a go. Why not show off your scores? :razz:

haha XD whats ur fav quiz db? ;) i fail at those things XD i even fail at the states one...though i live here :P believe me, i had like everyone on isk doing those XD and i still fail *sigh*

ACCESS DENIED. This Sporcle thing seems to be banned at my school by Educational Surf Control. (N)

I quite like this one (http://www.sporcle.com/games/common_english_words.php), I don't think it can really be googled.

Eeb, I played that one debs, is good. Umm... they don't really need to be ungooglable though, do they? Just don't google it? :S

Yeah, I guess so. You could then see what you would get without cheating. I just got 76 on that common words one.

Really good site deebs :) I like them alll.. :D heh, I'm just going through them and playing, but I don't have 10 minutes to donate to the words one :p

I read it when I quoted it.. Lol poor tasha :P but yeah... I can't read it normally.. -shrugs-

I really do like this site though. I've been on it since it was posted. :P lolol. There's some really good ones that suprised me that I didn't do well on.. and like.. counties is on there, and the periodic table :D heh heh.. :)

Ahhh I love Sporcle, especially the Geography quizzes! ;)

Same here, Sparrow.. the countries ones XD.. and yeah the biology ones too... but, there are only 29 bones to be named in that one :(

I got 72 in that game:P I like the name all the words you know in the book Sam I Am.. lmao

Lol blah with getting obsessed with these and losing track of time! Lol

Hmm... i tried naming the countries by continent... i hate Kosovo, Mali and Gabon :/
Ahh, in the US states (http://www.sporcle.com/games/states.php).. I missed Indiana
And the Soviet States (http://www.sporcle.com/games/sovietstates.php) one.. I missed RUSSIA!!! :O :O :O

Countries of the world... the last time I played it, I missed 20 of them... maybe next time i'll do better xD

ya know..these sites make me feel stupid XD but so does isk sometimes ;)

haha XD learning. very funny :P

top universities/colleges in the us plz :P

You should just go through the categories on the right and play ones you want to play... mmm I've done so many today.. :P lol.

Mmm I may try them again tomorrow and see if I can get better/make an account ;)

I only got 60 in the 'commonly used words' one. Although, to be honest, for the first 10 seconds I thought it was 'commonly confused words' and I was sitting there wondering why it didn't accept 'effect/affect'. :rolleyes: Then I realized.

I liked the 'corporate logos' one. I got 15/16 on that one :embarrassed: Apparently that's the average though, so woo.

I got 61 in that one.
hehe. I was looking around at that site for some inspiration when I was designing questions for the Dux comp Deebs. Nearly used that "most commonly used words" one (or a variation of), actually!

I thought you may have done, Saff :biggrin:

Bah, I can't do flags.

Ahh... the countries of the world is too difficult with such a small map :(
Atleast this time (http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp135/Alessadri/countries.jpg) I did better than my last time (http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp135/Alessadri/country.jpg) (When Sparrow suggested it on iSketch)

Aww got 49 on the states one.. missed Virginia (duh).

Only got 146/195 on the countries of the world one!

The only one I've got full marks on so far is the Lord's Prayer, but that was easy lol.

ETA: Ooh just got full marks on 4 letter countries one too.

Phwoarrrrr aless! I only really got europe and a few others in that one xD

MMm I really do like sporcle. :D Just thought I'd add that. I'm getting better at my countries and counties :P And top us universities ;) Lol

But yeah alessies that was well fit :)

and well done to you too ZK :)
