Only got 52, but only realised half-way through that you could click on the actual flags - was just doing the ones that came up randomly until then..

66 but didn't bother spending time guessing the ones I half knew (would have got a few more West African ones had I tried a bit, they're all a bit samey)...same with a few Caribbean and Pacific Island ones.

Last time I went there I saw masturbating chimpanzees. Whether you think that's worthy of £22 is up to you. All I'll say is I now have an annual pass.

49. I admit at a certain point I just kind of gave up and started typing in the names of every nation I could think of, including fake ones. I guessed Latveria at least three times.
