How well do you know that little thing they call Earth

Play the game (takes 2 minutes) right here.

I scored a fairly hilarious 12. I successfully found Morroco, Portugal, and Austria. Don't ask me where anything in Africa is.

I got 15 pts, but since one of the right answers was CANADA, I consider my score to be equally pathetic!

I ranged from 19 to 42 over five plays, and had similar difficulty with Africa. I'm pretty sure I got the right general areas on all, but you don't get points for close.

30 on the first try. I know a few of the countries in Africa. Missed Israel though... 42 the second time. 38 the third time. Got Burkina Faso twice and I can't remember were it is. Couldn't get Togo either, but I suspect I just couldn't zoom & click fast enough. Pretty fun!

I got 49. I was very disappointed with my knowledge of Europe. I couldn't even find Austria.

I did pretty well in Africa however.

New all time high for me: 43! I spent some time studying Asia (the Iran area), Southern America and Eastern Europe. I still haven't attempted Africa yet... too daunting.

up to 70, starting to get a feel for the coast line of africa... not so much for eastern europe yet

Did you notice that in Africa, if a country ends with "ia" or "ya" it is always on the coast...

Ah Jimmy and pattern recognition! I enjoyed Dominos from Game Design...love squishing that tomatoe! Oh and a pathetic score on my first try - beat Matt but not significantly. Made me think of the National Geographic Bee each year (like the Scripps Spelling Bee but Geography focused and usually hosted by Alex Trebek)
