32/45 with an average miss of 81 miles. Getting Andora and San Marino early on sucks.

[RacersEdge]

Taking this test scares me...it won't be pretty.

[lucas9000]

35/45 ... 93 miles

europe is stupid

[man]

36/45, average 31 miles off.

[ClaytonN]

37/45

[kerssens]

30/45...avg. error, 137 miles

[mmbt0ne]

2nd time through, 40/45 at 18 miles. I still hate Luxembourg.

[smb394]

35/45, avg. error 50 miles....damn Yugoslavia

[La Brujita]

37/45. 53 miles.

[Duke]

To those complaining about the small countries, it's a lot tougher to place something like Austria first than it is to place San Marino or Monaco first.

~D

[mmbt0ne]

Yeah, putting in the former Soviet satellite nations before putting Russia in to give me a border was really hard.

[MrWookie47]

39/45. And I was able to place Andora w/o any help having Spain or France there already. San Marino is a killer, though.

[KaneKungFu123]

i scored the same as you.

[PoBoy321]

28/45

176 miles

[RacersEdge]

29/45

172 miles average error.




Thank you.

[shadow29]

34/45 107 mi.

I got Andora and Vatican City, off by a little on Lux. Missed the rest of the little ones.

41/45 with an averga of error of 34 miles... Not bad!

[RacersEdge]

It actually over-estimates your knowledge too given it gets easier as it goes. If the screen cleared out every time, it would be a more realistic test.

[Edge34]

32/45, 116

[nervous]

27/45 with 273 miles.

I suck.

[KaneKungFu123]

anyone have anything similar for other locations?

[Los Feliz Slim]

30/45, 96 miles.

I don't think I'd ever heard of San Marino before, and certainly didn't know it was a country.

They have a bunch of links at increasing difficulties for different regions on the homepage.

[RacersEdge]

Was this after your 14th or 15th try?

[bd8802]

38 ... 55 miles

[KDawgCometh]

41/45 avg mile error 15. I screwed up as I had austria early and put it where hungary is. liechtenstien was the only one where I was really off. I'm dead nasty at geography though

1st, like I said, I pwn. In general, but especially at geography.

[Jack of Arcades]

I can perfect the US everytime, but Europe just gave me a lot of trouble. Damn.

[LBJ]

Jesus thats harsh

21/45 avg error 314 miles /images/graemlins/ooo.gif

[mblax10]

How embarasing, I feel as I'm getting older I'm getting dumber. I just struggled to get 36 right on the Expert US Capitals. When I was 10 I would've gotten all 50 right, no problem.

I also new everything you ever wanted to know about Dinosaurs back than. Today' I'd be hard pressed to name 5 types of Dinosaurs.

I'm off to further embarass myself.

[RacersEdge]

I just took the palcing off the US States - and struggled.


Most embarassing: I jus realized that Rhode Island is not really an island.

I should get that one back.

[poker-penguin]

40 / 45 16 mile average error (Monaco, San Marino, Bosnia, Lithuania and Belarus all SUCK).

[BigBaitsim (milo)]

33/45 99 miles.

In my defense, the map I used at Winston Churchill HS had no Russia, and none of those eastern European Countries, just the good old USSR. It had no Slovakia, Czech Republic, or Slovakia. It also had two Germanys.

Now, give me a map circa 1980, and I will kick some serious ass.

I got 43 state capitals...but when the answer to West Virginia was revealed, it didn't sound the least bit familiar.

well, there's not a lot of tuition in 6th grade...and I would hate to waste tuition of something as useless as geography in college..

25/45 and 304 miles, I was SO far off on every tiny country with the exception of Vatican City. I also wasn't really trying that hard so I effed up on a lot of the obvious puzzle pieces.

I still can't believe I missed Iceland.

[Tom1975]

32/45 also. Average error 68 miles. I missed Monaco by 891 miles, that hurt.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hungary is one of the countries I have lived in. I personally thought that San Marino was the hardest. There are no borders to or rivers to use to your advantage. I had a rough idea of where it was and got it close enough for the program to accept my answer. Vatican City suffers from the same problem, but I spent a few weeks in Rome a couple of years ago so I knew almost exactly where Vatican City is.

[KDawgCometh]

for me what made hungary hard was getting it in the same area of the danube. If I have romania down, then its a snap, but both times I had it early on in the test

[augie00]

[tdarko]

wow i sucked haha! i got a couple of those tiny ones right off the bat and i wasn't even in the ballpark.

29/45 280 miles.

[HesseJam]

42/45 9 miles 300 secs. OK, I'm from Europe. It's not that difficult, you have the shapes. They should do a version, where you have to hit the location without showing the shape. I would have missed 5 more or so.

[HesseJam]

US, where you have to place them on a map: 47/50, 11miles 350 secs

I agree. I got 44/45 (3 miles, 179 secs) and missed Hungary only because I had to place it before any of its neighbors.

Asia 30/32 20 miles, 230 secs

40/45, avg. error 21 miles.
