Geography challenge



I always enjoy these little online geography challenges, and I figured I'd share this one with you guys:

http://www.svd.se/resor/r...?4bd9=2c27

It starts out in Europe and I realize that gives us Europeans an unfair advantage, but hey - we're so often clueless when you org Americans talk about cheez-whiz or Michael Vick or whatnot so it evens out in the end. razz

My score:

Your Final score: 228,251
Your Final level: 6
Your Traveler IQ: 105

I thought I did quite well but still only got 105 in traveler IQ. mad

Oh come on, post it. Like I said, it's not really fair for you guys that it starts out in Europe so you have an excuse. nod

Well those fairly new southern European countries are tricky as hell. Then later I almost got stuck in Africa (I only know about a third of those countries), had hiccups in America (South Dakota? wtf!) and eventually crashed and burned in Oceania. lol

Latvia was the first one and Lithuania was the second.

I had no clue where they were. In fact I was 9999 miles off from Latvia. lol

But the timer also freaked me out so I just clicked anything.

Yeah, Africa is really difficult! It's hard enough to just know where the countries are, and the cities are pretty much a guessing game.
