	I left out 93, many of which I couldn't spell. And Democratic Republic of THE Congo. Talk about pretentious. Oh, and I forgot France...

	FWIW, I just tried it with the list of all 192 countries sitting in front of me, and I still missed 23 of them...

	72 countries remain.I can't believe I've forgot Hungary. I think it's almost impossible to write all of them even without hesitation; it's simply not enough time unless you're a pro typist. I would never guess the English spelling of Kyrgyzstan, !! And I was trying for one whole minute to spell Vatican, Vaticano, Vaticane, Vatikan, Vatican City, Citta del Vaticano...damn! It's not even listed here! I guess they're not in UN
	Percussion, sir!

	Of course this is pretty much just seeing how many countries of the world you can type in 10 minutes, but hey It's all in fun!

	...I had still many ( at least 20 ) in my mind to write... And the time finished... Probably I am soooo slow typing... I would enjoy it more with 15 minutes... In the end I MISSED 86......Of which: NONE European... ALMOST none continental American, but ALMOST all islands... ALMOST all Ocania "little" islands... Few Asian: some little arab ones and some "-istan"... And soooo many African ( ) cause the damned 10 minutes finished... I should study islands and arcipelags... Have I taken this game too serious?
