It only uses your first results for the statistics, but also fot the number of times it is taken?

I just checked countries of the world quiz, and it is taken more than 13 million times, I doubt those were 13 million individual people ;)

For comparison, name the planets is taken about half a million times. A quiz less likely to be taken over and over. But still one of the most often taken quiz (picked one of the highest ones that didnt lend itself much to (many) retakes)

So I can do this without too much trouble by going through the map, but if I try to go in alphabetical order (by using the song) I'm always missing a few. Curious as to how other people fare comparing the two methods.

It's amazing how many people will attempt a quiz without reading the instructions. Now I understand why so many do poorly on standardized tests such as the SATs; it's not because they are not smart, it's because they refuse to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!

Yes, as stated earlier, no matter how many times you play you can only get a max of five points per quiz. Otherwise some people would find an easy quiz and take it over and over to rack up the points.
