How many Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland counties can you name in 8 minutes (there are only 32 so I reduced the time. 😉 )?

I am hopeless myself. I only know a few of them.

EDIT: Regarding the dispute with the naming of one particular Northern Ireland county, I have gone for the "official" name.

I got ten, which is at least a better percentage than I got for the English counties, although I am still disgusted by my performance. I only had six minutes though, because I got a phone call.

Hmmm... In that case I guess I'd better not ask you to do Norwegian counties and German federal states... 😉

I missed three. One was because I didn't even think to call it by its UK name. The other two because I forgot them.

Dang. You replied too fast. I realised after posting that I had given away a few of the answers, so edited them out.

You would definitely have the advantage with Norwegian counties. Most people here would not be able to type ø. 😉

EDIT: Only county I know is Oslo (which is also a city).

They could copy it before they started. It's the only umlaut needed.

P.S.: No chocolate for you. 😠
