Devil!! >:(

On the Oceania/Australia quiz I only scored 104,911 points.

Final Level: 6 and Traveler IQ: 83.

But if it's any consequence, I nailed Sydney and Perth to within less than 50 km!! :D

Yeah, once in a while Perth comes up as a question on the World quiz... and I'm getting really good at getting that one accurately at this point.

I haven't dared try the Oceania/Australia quiz yet... I just know I would do terribly.

 :laugh: That's funny!  :laugh:

I've just done the main default quiz with these results:

Score  180,697

Final Level  6

Traveler IQ  92

I'm little better than moronic when it comes to geography, so I was surprised to have done so well!    ;)   :laugh:

That was fun! I'll be going back for more! I'm a glutton for punishment!  :D

Yes that is a pretty good score Kerry! Please go back and do another one, so you can do as badly as the rest of us... or me anyway!! ;)

Sigh..my IQ is 99 and I only made it to level 8.  It was hard, but I think I know Europe and the Middle East better than it seems - it was hard to click precisely on that little map. ;) ::)  One cool thing is that I got some random places almost spot on like Azerbaijan and Djibouti...others like China and much of Africa, I was clueless...missed Rwanda even.

Good job Lynne!!! :D

Yes, I know what you mean about the clicking part. It's hard, and we really don't have much time to think AND point the mouse on the exact location. It's fun though, isn't it?

Map is too small. I had to squint my eyes. I mean Liechtenstein.  I know the country is located between Austria and Switzerland, but to try it bulleyes requires 20/20 and more so vision.  Oh a few occasions, I hadn't even planted the flag yet, but it showed up.  It said I chose Brasilia as midway  in the Atlantic.  I know it's north of Sao Paulo in the interior, not on some island between Brazil and Angola.    I did screw up with the islands and some of the countries in Africa. The Western Antilles doesn't really show up on the map, so I had to approximate where Barbados was at.   Also, I think they shaded Korea one color. WRONG. I'm also kinda confused about the names of some of the countries in the Southern part of the former Soviet Union. 

My scores were  431,622 final score
Final level           10
IQ                     117.

I love geography.  Thanks for the quiz. ;)
