Found this on another board and thought it was fun. I hit 8th level on first try, 10th on the second. The questions get pretty obscure at higher levels.
And this is the part where about 40 people post in this thread with “This was really easy. I gave it to my 4 year old kid sister and she scored 12th level on her first try.”
China is a big friggin country. I’m off by an inch and it’s like 12,000 miles!
Plus I got careless and got South America mixed up with South Africa. :smack: Those lesser known cities in the 5th round were challenging to me. I didn’t make it through the 6th round on the second try. Maybe at home on the 19 inch monitor it’ll make a difference. This little 15 incher at work is cramping my style. I thought I had Havana nailed and I still missed it by 61km even though the country on this monitor is only a tenth of a centimeter long.
shame…
I got to level 10 with 353436 points total. I did pretty poorly with Africa, somewhat less poorly with South America. I also had trouble with those teeny little island nations like St. Kitts.
My first try but I’m not getting past level 10 unless I’m very lucky. They loaded level 10 with Africa and it has always been my Achilles heel.
Can anybody beat a distance of 11 000 (or so)? I misread Tanzania for Tasmania. The misery of that is that Tanzania is one of the two dozen or so countries in Africa I can readily locate.
I also managed to get within 10km of the Hagia Sophia. I was quite pleased with that. The amusing part is that I was about 200km from the CN Tower and I live right close to there.
