First try.  
Crapped out on level **three**.

67.988 points total.

18.884 out of 20,000 to get to level 4.

And to think I got an “A” in World Geography in high school. I used to be so proud of myself.  
Oh well. Must play again! This is awesome for work, especially since it’s slow right now.

Once you get up to the bonus levels, it gets more difficult. Placing the soccer stadiums in Western Europe and the location of ancient Norse settlements is harder than it sounds.

Got to Level 11. Russia tripped me up, and the Pacific island nations - there’s no sense of scale across the Pacific on that map.

[QUOTE=panamajack]  
The full site version is a lot nicer with some of the other quizzes which zoom in by region.

Could you (or somone) link to the full site version? I can’t seem to locate it on the Travelpod website. Thanks!

Well, I’ve discovered how to make those pesky, boring classes go a lot faster, AND pretend like I’m doing something educational!

And I can’t get past level 11… Damn my parents for never taking me on vacation in the Pacific.
