    That's a terrible quiz.

    The guy from Toronto,Canada doesn't have any real Canadian accent, it's some hybrid?

      I scored a 29 too

      The native English speakers were pretty easy (except for the South African and I mistook the Chicagoan for a Canadian) but the non-English speakers were so hard.

      Except Spain was easy cause of the whole gay lisp thing

        Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

          Those from US was easy, though had problems with states. But are birminghams really allowed to abuse english in such a cruel way ? - thought the guy was german
          With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                  Actually the Brummie didn't sound particularly Brummie at all...although I managed to identify the Canadian and the South African...I had difficulty with all the piddling Eastern European countries...the Western ones gave me no difficulty (except the Spanish bloke sounded more Portuguese to me)

                      Anyone who identified that man's accent as Canadian should have minus points. It wasn't Canadian. I'm still pissed about that.

                            Nobody really knows what a Canadian accent is supposed to sound like (unless they say 'aboot') so it was just a question of elimination.

                              In fact the real problem with that game was that few of the voicers were capable of reading the text in front of them in anything like their natural accents.
