A moments diversion
Geo quiz
I got 387825
- I boned level 5 by only 499 pts.
I love geography though and I was very surprised by some of my answers.
I got 409,660. I made it to level 9, but made some bad calls on the Very Hard World Cities. After practice last time I played this, I could make it to level 11, but never got to 12.
Sub Saharan Africa knocks me down.
And for some odd reason I have a mental block about New Zealand. I know where it is, I look over there and see it and then I click on New Guinea.
I stink!!!
I know I learned this stuff…didn’t I. Mr. Moran was right…I was excused for band lessons and didn’t learn anything. Waaahhhhh
I got as far as level 10, with 419525 points. It helped that two of the “hard” cities were ones I’ve lived in, and another was one I’ve visited a few times. Fun game though!
407,022.
I am completely unfamiliar with any island nation not in the Caribbean or Mediterranean that is not named New Zealand, Japan, or Madagascar and don’t know a damn thing about Sub-Saharan Africa
I was bored and tried again. 427,244 this time.
392,315
Sub-Saharan Africa and some of the island groups are my weaknesses. Even for the Caribbean islands I know, the map resolution isn’t enough to see them.
I think this is the third time this game has been posted here.
~50,000 point, wait higher is better? I’ve never been good with geography.
344,487 points by the end of level 10.
sigh At one point in early high school, I could label nearly an entire map of the world from memory, mostly owing to a combination of me being a strange child and a stunningly inane middle school social studies class. Now I can barely remember all the South American nations, to say nothing of Africa or Eastern Europe.
For those of you who want to bone up on your geography knowledge, I find this site invaluable: World Maps - geography online games
I’m currently pretty darn good with African countries now. However, every time I learn one continent, I forget another, so it’s kind of a neverending cycle for me here.
I scored 457, 136 and made it to level 11, where there were 3 questions on Russia and two on China that were places I never heard of. In one of the early rounds where they were asking for locations of famous places, I got Fenway Park. I did not and do not have a clue what city in the US it is located in. I clicked fairly randomly on what somewhere in the north easterly US.
First time, 349,022. Africa kills me. I need to work on that. And I can never remember where the Galapagos are for some reason. They also threw some cities at me I never heard of, but I got to level 10, which can’t be too bad. I expected some Dopers would kick my ass, so that doesn’t bother me.
456,990… Who the hell knows where in the Pacific the Marshall Islands are?
387, 753.
Map resolution sucked.
That map is way too small to really have a chance of hitting anything accurately, even if you know where these places are. Which I don’t.
71,038. I couldn’t get past level 3. Apparently, I don’t know where Finland is. Or Moscow (Russia is freaking huge, y’all). Or Bolivia. At least I could pick the right continents. Mostly. Ah, hell with it, I suck.
177,288 here, BUT I got within 2 km of Edinburgh and 11 km of Quito! 
362 709 on a quick try. A bigger map would be useful. The Caribbean is a problem for me.
