This is Earth. You know that, right?

I'll give it a try soon. I'm a bit of a geography buff.

let's badle!! ;)

lol Prelude

sounds interesting, I probably wont get past level 2 since Geography is one of my worst skills(Along with Economics I THINK)

Man, i was up to 350k, level 7, when my kid grabbed my hand and i point to Antarctica for a couple of answers... lol

i'll try it again after she's gone to sleep

Rofl, I got to level 3 lolz... at least I got past my goal lolz

420k, level 10

damn, 500k, level 11, that's impressive :)

dam T_T i cant pass lvl 1 i only remember usT_T

451k, Level 11...

damn, Dale... I don't think anyone can make it past level 11, and it all depends which ones you get asked to see how many points past 400k you end up... I got 6, i kid you not, 6 cities in RUSSIA for Level 11. and we're talking totally obscure cities.. lol.. let's just say you can just randomly click anywhere on russia and hope to get almost 5,000 points. :)

ok, thanks for giving me that addiction, dale! lol

done for tonight... 494k Level 11 is my best... oh so close :)

171k. Not good enough on my Asian/African countries (and capitals within them).

most of mine came out maybe 800KM at most away from different places, but certain things threw me off(such as major places, I only know the ones in Japan, Italy, US and a few in England

I got within 4km of Bay of Fundy, and 18kmb of Vatican. :D

I also got within 60 km of the Old Faithful geyser in the US. come on, that's impressive, aint it? (although more likely due to sheer luck than knowing exact longitude/latitude of all test questions.

my closest was 3 Km when I randomly clicked by accident lolz I spose the only thing I am lucky with is accidents lol

You think Africa is bad? (well, it is, actually.. St Tome & Principe is an island off Africa?.... wow, i was WAY off.. i picked Caribbean) but the amount of tiny Russian village they throw at you in Level 11 is insane. Also, its so mean when they give you Micronesia. yeah, its in the Pacific Ocean... somewhere... can't exactly see MICRO islands on that map, can i? lol

All the easy and medium Russian ones are on the western side. But level 11, they give u Irkustk which i remember from my Risk playing days that its somewhere out in siberia. and that's about half the world map right there. lol

my latest run was only 477k. BLAST THAT MICRONESIA!!!

I also learned the hard way that Banara Island, Brazil, is right in middle of Amazon rain forest, NOT out in middle of south atlantic ocean I naturally assumed it might be. :)

But I do have to share this:

WHOSE THE MAN NOW, DALE??? oh yeah, oh yeah... Can anyone beat a 4KM pick in only 1.79 seconds?

I think Dallas... Im no good at Geography either T_T it took me like 18 tries just to get to 60,000...

see, thats the problem in the US... who really cares about state capitals? they keep testing the kids on that (and 50 states + 50 capitals can be overwhelming) and by the time they drill it into them, the kids hate geography so much that they can't even be bothered to find Canada on the world map.

I mean, I can see the excuse of not nothing where Erithrea is (it recently separated from Ethiopia to form its own country) or which of the hundreds of islands of Indonesia became its own country (East Timor), but if people taking this test can't find France, Italy, or New Zealand on the map, something's wrong with them. :|

btw, its Austin. christ, even a Canuck knows that lol

for all ya Yanks, try the USA Challenge:

(to be fair, i did the Canada challenge and I bombed horribly on Level 6, BC. no idea where ANYTHING is over there)

The World Photo quiz I did awesome on.
www.travelpod.com/traveler-iq/worldphotos

First try, I finished all 7 levels, score of 236,228.

All those hundreds of Webshots shots that circulate my desktop background sure pays off. :)

first (and probably only) try:

Level 6
175,985

Thank goodness for Modern History class or I wouldn't have got through the first round. I hate Geography, there's a reason I opted not to take it in highschool.
