Got round to doing the bones one. It's amazing how quickly it came back to me from doing this stuff at college.

 

[Hooray]

10 on bones. Missed a couple I knew though.

Never was good on human biology!

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Bones? Pokemon? Good quizzes only PLEASE

Consider that I did this quiz about a year ago and remembered that they were on it

There you go.

Didn't do great on that one. Just found 61 of them. Still higher than average (70%) but there really are countries that I should found like Nigeria, Slovakia, Romania or Northern Ireland. Dutch East Indies is simply taking the piss.
Also interestiing to see how different countries had different names throughout history since the 1930s.

I got that one by accident. Near the end I just tried guessing Asian countries and it accepted Indonesia.

Missed bloody Israel, kept picturing a geographical map of Europe in my head and was really puzzled as to what I could be missing

 

[TomPNE94]

Ceebs doing any of those, won't beat anything

 

[Gilly?]

For saying 'ceebs' you now have to do them all blindfolded.

Pretty happy with that. Got the 2 pairs of Canoe-Slalomers which I was very pleased about. Mainly come undone on the rowers and sailers.

You did better than me. I got 32. I had another 10-15 on the tip of my tongue but either a first name/surname or both just wouldn't come to me. Most guilty of forgetting the names of the rowers.

I watched the Olympics religiously which is probably why I remember quite a few - also Eddie Butler's voice from the closing montage stuck in my head as well which helped. Great memories of the Olympics and Paralympics, was there the night the Para's won 3 golds at the Olympic stadium, such an unbelievable atmosphere. I'm rambling.

So did I. I could picture nearly all of the medalists. Just some of the names wouldn't come to me. Frustrating.
