130 IQ. I’m big on maps, but panicked a bit in level 12.
As has bene pointed out, what can change your score dramatically is the country your target is in. If you don’t know your Turkish geography so well, you can only do so badly as long as you know where Turkey is. If you don’t know where Shitalabaloo, Australia is, you could be four thousand kilometres off base.

We have played this before. I played again to see if maybe I’d improved in the last couple months, but apparently not. I got to level 10. My favorite question was about the Temple of Artemis…I’m just a few km away from it right now. (On holiday in Turkey.)
