Test your general geographic knowledge

[Renard]

level 10

 

[Melvil]

Level 10, too. It doesn't help having a macbook with a tiny screen and a tiny map to boot - well, that's my excuse anyway.

 

[gbb]

Failed on level 10...it gets hard then

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Level 6, 143 000 - odd points. I have a pretty good practical knowledge of UK geography, but my world geography is shamefully bad.

 

[Fnaar]

399,178... but it's been a long day!
Closest I got was YORK! I was 23 k away...

 

[Noodley]

Closest I have got is 16km...which, considering it was a guess, is very impressive even if I do say so myself!

 

[Dayvo]

My closest was 14 km! To Ayers Rock!!!
I knew it was more or less in the middle of Aus, but within spitting distance . . . !

 

[summerdays]

I only got to level 6 - 180,076 points but my closest was 10 km to Glasgow.

 

[Lardyboy]

Got to level 10 - was 900 points short of going to level 11!!!!!!!!

410,349 points.

Micro-Polynesia did it for me.

Update.

Level 11 - 478,611.

 

[Rab]

so THAT's where the Phillipines are!
(nowhere near where I thought...)

Snap, I went wrong on the phillipines and malaysia, got them mudled up

383,777 was my score level 10

 

[Canrider]

Missed the last level. It would be nice if they could code it to give you more points for hitting the right zone of the smaller countries. Asking me to hit '____, Bhutan' is going to give me nearly maximum points merely because it's such a small place (yet visible on the map), so you'll always be 'really close'.

And I disagree with the location they mapped for Quebec City.

 

[bryce]

Played this a while back on facebook, got 580,000 ish points after about 20 consecutive goes (it also displays all your friends' results on a leaderboard, which brought out my competitive streak).

 

[cisamcgu]

387,287

Closest 23km "Trinity College"
Farthest 7907km "Mauritious" (see, I can't even spell it, never mind find it on a map!)

[radger]

My knowledge of west Africa is abysmal. Although I only got the wrong continent for two. 393,410 and stuck at level 10. A nice distraction from the imploding email server which I should now get back to

Level 10, too. It doesn't help having a macbook with a tiny screen and a tiny map to boot - well, that's my excuse anyway.
