Geography Quiz!!!

[GeneralHankerchief]

Apparently Myrtle Beach isn't in California.

Anyway, I flopped on Level 12, but I'm particularly proud of this little gem from earlier in the game:

[Jolt]

Woah, nice. The closest I've managed was 10 or 13 kms.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

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...

[CountArach]

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.

[AlexanderSextus]

I Ended on level 10 with 379,487 points, with an IQ of 112. Pretty good for a pothead Murkan, huh????

[aimlesswanderer]

got 550,000, level 12, IQ 129. Did badly on the hardest world cities.

[Jolt]

Sorry GH...

Still, didn't beat my own record.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Sorry GH...

Still, didn't beat my own record.

Of course you realize, this means war.

[The New Che Guevara]

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?

[Aemilius Paulus]

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.

[Jolt]

Plus the map so small that countries such as Lichtenstein can barely be seen.

The site where I play has a larger map. It's not that larger although I have a more easy time placing the spots better.

[Rhyfelwyr]

I think the people that made this test are Australian...

[Moros]

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?

[Rhyfelwyr]

Somehow, I got a higher score than Jolt despite failing the last level:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[Jolt]

You scored more at lower levels but you failed to score enough points at the last level. :P

[Ibrahim]

464,110 level 11, IQ 120.

and it would have been higher, but its a b*** to aim on a map that small.

at least I got the arab cities all within 50 km

[Jolt]

Yeah, most Arab cities in the program are fairly easy. Dubai, Sanaa, Amman, Mecca, etc.

[Aemilius Paulus]

and it would have been higher, but its a b*** to aim on a map that small.

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.

[Hooahguy]

didnt even make it past level 5....

[ICantSpellDawg]

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.

[Raz]

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.
