Aemilius, normal people do not feel immediately attracted to quizzes the way you are. The title should say Geography game, since it's actually kinda like a game. I tend to visualize "quizzes" in the form of questions. :smash:
Now to everyone else. You should really try the game. It's actually fun, you need to point out as close as possible, in a map, the locations of several famous, and not so famous, cities and places around the world. :medievalcheers:
I got a lousy 101 traveler's IQ. Africa killed me. :no:
I got 49115 on level 10 :angry:
114 IQ.
Although, the test is really how well do you know your countries + knowledge of the cities of canada, russia, china, brazil, usa, argentia and australia. It's pretty easy to pinpoint the capital of sri lanka.
Things that killed me in the last round were the pacific islands...and mixing up new guinea and equitorial guinea.
407,507 was the score.
:skull: Ouch. Yeah, that is almost exactly on the other side of the world. Pacific also killed me, but Papua New Guinea is still South-east Asia by my reckoning. It is right east of Indonesia.Quote:

On the 3rd try.
On my first ended in level 11. On my second on level 12. On my third I finished the game.
You beat AP?! :laugh4:
Congrats bro. I cannot pass level 8. I feel retarded. :shame:
Gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

EDIT: Wait a sec. I had a higher score than you, Jolt, but I did not finish level 12. :inquisitive: Something is not right. I finished with the first two numbers in the score being 58. You have 57. How is that possible? Follow my link I posted and take it again. It seems that a while ago you played a different version. Otherwise how can the discrepancy in scores be explained??
Sure. It is pretty easy since they name the country when they name the city/place. I know every country in the world. Plus the islands are a bit intuitive. But then again, I'm an International Relations student, so its kinda my job to be geographically aware. Yeah, level 8 for me is still easy level. :PQuote:

@AP: You might have gotten a higher punctuation at the early levels, whilst he got enough at level 12 to beat the game. The points are measured per level, so it's irrelevant for level 12 what you got in previous levels.

NOTE: Due to a quick freeze-up I clicked a thing a couple of times and ended up accidentally clicking on Australia when they were asking for Goa, that former Portuguese colony on the West Coast of India. That was level 11. Had it not been for the freeze-up, my score would have been higher.
BTW, the screenie was taken with Aviary. Try it. Pretty useful, you can select what you take a picture among other things.
123
I lost a huge amount of points clicking the "Next" button, though. It was winding down, and as I clicked it went away, meaning that I had chosen the Southern Atlantic to be the capital of Micronesia....
1st try:
lvl 10

2ND TRY
LVL11

IQ 119
I give up, not having finished it but content with the fact that I am not one of those people who come to Greece and expect to see the Pyramids...
first try:
581308pts, level 12, IQ 132.
now I really don't understand what it means.
That is part of the Portuguese conspiracy to make sure only Portuguese (me) get the highest points! [/joke]Quote:

Not a good score - IQ 88 on level 5~:mecry:
I got 134 IQ that time.

Irkutsk did for me. Siberia is big...

Iq=120
epic fail at level 12! That one ain't easy!
Apparently Myrtle Beach isn't in California. :laugh4:
Anyway, I flopped on Level 12, but I'm particularly proud of this little gem from earlier in the game:
https://i113.photobucket.com/albums/...ef/geoquiz.jpg
Woah, nice. The closest I've managed was 10 or 13 kms.
3km nice...tried to beat it but the map is so small it's hard to pinpoint.
level 11
IQ 121
points: 466,916
Austria is not australia...missed getting to level 12 on that. Was so used to all the australia questions...
Level: 11
Points: 417, 360
IQ: 115
Being from Australia helps. I have no idea at all about where most of the small African nations are.
I Ended on level 10 with 379,487 points, with an IQ of 112. Pretty good for a pothead Murkan, huh????
got 550,000, level 12, IQ 129. Did badly on the hardest world cities.
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/...untitled-7.jpg
Sorry GH...
Still, didn't beat my own record.
This isn't exactly a test on geography... more about map reading and country and place knowledge. Plus the map so small that countries such as Lichtenstein can barely be seen. Also, the time you get is ridiculous... One of these should be changed. untimed would result in people googling, but with the size of the map, you wont get it perfectly accurate and you wont get the same satifaction as you would when you do it just on knowledge.
I got 112 on round 10. Despite having studied the places within africa and google earthing constantly... I got my ass whooped.
Did anyone else get asked to place Nagasaki?
The closest I go was 4 km, and that was for NYC.
And yes, I was asked to place both Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The game asks for three things: World Capitals; World Cities; and Famous Places in the World.
I think the people that made this test are Australian...
I find America to be the most difficult. I've heard of Boston sure, I've seen in on tv, I know it's in America and not way up north. But wether it's east, west or central or what stat. well Gah! The only few I know are LA, Miami, Orleans (due to hurricane), NY and Washington. And I know that the car producing cities are around the big lake. Canada is even worse. At least in africa and south east asia, the two other somewhat hard ones, I know about where they are. North America? I just know it exists but where?
Of course you realize, this means war.Quote:

Well, quite obviously Jolt did. Like I said, the closest I got was 4 km for NYC. And 5 for Bandar Seri Begevan.Quote:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
You scored more at lower levels but you failed to score enough points at the last level. :P
464,110 level 11, IQ 120.
and it would have been higher, but its a b*** to aim on a map that small.:inquisitive:
at least I got the arab cities all within 50 km :clown:
Yeah, most Arab cities in the program are fairly easy. Dubai, Sanaa, Amman, Mecca, etc.
Same here. I still won, but really, that game is unfair. Too small. No skill in randomness, as that is what usually decides the accuracy in that game. I am going to try Jolt's site now, as he stated the map was slightly larger there.Quote:

didnt even make it past level 5.... :shame:
50770 on level 11, first try. That was dissapointing. I have actually memorized every capital on earth. The Russian cities sank me in the last round.
Final Score: 515,979
Final Level: 11
Traveller IQ: 126
You wan'nt an endless quiz?
This one is good.
Hmmm, the quiz asked me about the capitals of Guernsey, Palestine, and Chechnya, to name a few, that were not recognised as nations/are merely semi-autonomous republics.Quote:

True. Nation doesn't equal State. Even a State doesn't need to be sovereign, but it is one of the key structures of any normal state. A Nation means a culturally similar people. It comprises of the people inside its Nation-State (If it exists) and its diaspora.Quote:

Guernsey, the other one is Jersey. The canal islands, under the british crown, there is an even smaller one that I cannot recall.Quote:

EDIT:
I knew I wouldnt win the hardest level...

In the heat of the moment, siberia and serbia look awfully similar. =/
Central America and a few pacific islands are what brought me down.
Could only manage 184 000, level 6 with a 92 IQ. :sweatdrop:
369,975
111 IQ
525,045, Lvl 11, IQ 126 Lousy Australian Islands killed me. Why does Australia have islands almost at the coast of Indonesia?
Norway has an island between Argentina and South Africa. >_> Comparing to that, an Australian island in West Indonesia doesn't sound so bad.
