My score seemed impressive to me until they presented me with a list of the 187 countries I "forgot," which in many cases (e.g., Navassa Island, French Southern and Antarctic Lands) I had never even heard of.
Well there are TWO countries called Congo. The original one (also known as Congo-Brazzaville and then Zaire-turned-into-Democratic-Republic-of-Congo (which we refer to a DR Congo).
It also wouldn't take Guinea-Bissau which sort of freaked me out.
I skipped the entire central Asian republics, since I cannot spell Tajikistan or Kazakhstan, etc. without spell check.
