Guess the accent
Mad Minerva told me about a game where you guess the accent from videos of people reciting a couple of lines from Rudyard Kipling's poem "If". You have to guess which county they're from, and of course the more points you get, the better accent-guesser you are. Good luck!

I only got 20 points. I blame it on the fasting. (By the way, for the next month or so I'll be blaming everything on the fasting.)
What would happen if you decreased your fasting time?
Ouch...a mere 20 points. I wish we were provided with longer segments to listen to.
The thing must be rigged because all these smart people aren't doing well.
