You have ten mins to name ALL Zone 1 stations!

I did all 63 in 5:04. ;D

I did it in 3:43... I've never felt like more of a nerd.

[Chris M]

I got 61/63 in 3:53. It took another minute to remember the name of Sloane Square. I never did get Mansion House

[metman]

I took 9 mins but got all of them, I couldn't see some of them-took ages to find them....

The thing is, some of them require spaces and some don't. Notting Hill Gate requires the full input, whereas Cannon Street only requires the first word. You thus have 'street' already in the box so thus input streethyde park... etc!

[Chris M]

yes "street" "road" and "park" at the end don't need to be input
High Street Kensington needs the full input though.

Perhaps even more frightening is that it only took me 2 minutes 58 to name all 50 US states, including working out how the hell you spell Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Connecticut!

I hate that quiz, I got all of them but because Im dislexia spend most of my time trying to guess the spelling. Honestly did get them all, if I had spelt Leicester Square right I'd had all of them! Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

I kept on doing that and had to continusly backspace causing me to fail with 54 stations named.

Don't try the capital cites of Europe quiz then. There were about 3 I didn't know, and about 8 I knew but couldn't spell - Ljubljana for example!

Got it with 2:30 to spare, remembered them all except Temple, for which I had to look at my tube map

[Tom]

Made it with 4:22 to spare.

I had a go at the corporate logos one! Some of them are very trying on the grey matter...

[Chris M]

I've spent a goodly proportion of my evening on that site - some of them are bleeping difficult, but it isn't half addictive! Damn you AI ;-)

[SE13]

Hmmm.... I spent an absolute age trying to get KX to go in. It was the first one I tried, and didn't think to put St Pancras...... My "enter" button took a bit of a bashing!

[suncloud]

5'20", it'd have been quicker had I been more awake and been able to type.

Missed 5 - map was getting so crowded I failed to notice some I knew.

[Chris M]

I've done it quite a few times now, and I find that I get to 62/63 and then have to spend ages trying to find which station I've missed - I know that it was Bank on one occasion, but the labels are so crowded in that area it was very difficult to see.

Try the Underground lines one, I did it in 42 seconds, in fact that was the only one I could finish in the time and I tried several different quizzes

[johnb]

4:54 total time, of which 2 mins was remembering Sloane Square and Lancaster Gate...
