Pretty neat. I got through the first two levels, but I have to do level 3 again.

I think I read it wrong -- it moved me to level 4 after all.

I've done this before, this time was my best score ever though, 40k points in level 10. I usually make it to level 7 or 8 and fall apart. I know nothing about Africa and eventually I get a place I am not even sure which continent its on. Edit, total score: 349893

Yeah, the Africa stuff is hard. I got 47,000 or so on level 10, and it made me stop.

Made it to level 11. Pretty freakin hard on the final levels.

I do notice that they do Australia (and larger countries) a lot in the later levels. At that point, it's no longer enough to actually put it in the right country, you have to have an idea where it is in that country...

Africa and SE Asia kill me on level 10

Dola- what really kills me is these little island nations off the coast of Africa that I have never even heard of and take a wild guess.

Those of you making it to 11 on the first try amaze me. I thought I knew somehting about geography, but level 6 cleaned my clock. I can't imagine 11.

385,751 on lvl 10. I'm going to try it again a bit later. I was okay on Africa. I guess I just don't care that much about Eastern Europe.

I think the hardest quiz is the flag one. I couldn't get past level 7 until my third try. I ended up finishing the quiz with 346,354. The Oceania quiz was harder then the Africa part. Some of the islands they asked about were so small, they didn't show up on the screen.

Beat the Amazing Race one but that's because they visit the same countries.

I have done well on all of them, including finishing the US one. The flags I can't get past round 4 though. I am horrible at flags I guess.

that's because you are more concerned with wifebeaters, it's understandable.

On the US only I got 1km on something. On the world I think my closest was 13, but I could be confusing it with another map/game.

I do think some of their locations are off just a touch.

I'm pretty proud of how I did on my first try:
301k level 10.

And Africa, like it seems to do with others, just kills me. The big thing that helps me is that when I taught last year I made the kids memorize the states and capitals. Kids could then become "Geography Masters" by learning the location of countries on other continents (it went North/South America, Europe, Middle East, Asia). By the time they completed Asia it seemed like they'd had enough so I didn't make them learn Africa, which means I never learned it by grading their attempts :).

Closest I've got is 9km from Honolulu but that was either in the North America/USA map. Closest on the World map is 20km from Milan.

That is what I hate, using a laptop I have occasionally tapped in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, which is not real close to Moscow last time I checked.

Also got to level 12, but missed badly on a couple of Russian ones and made a bad mistake in putting Khartoum in Ethiopia rather than Sudan. Ended up with 583,900 and 56,702 on the final level (need 60K to pass). IQ was 134.
