Do any of you visit this site? It tests your knowledge on the placing the Countries of the World in their correct location.

Sometimes I get 100%, but occasionally as low as 60%! My weak areas are the Pacific Islands and Caribbean Islands. smile.gif

60% is the best I've managed..........

Got asked about a lot of the smaller Pacific islands in both my tries........

I've now tried it as a 'Capitals Challenge'.

And got 40%.

Oh dear...... rolleyes.gif

I find the Capitals one very challenging too. The European one is easy though. smile.gif
Trebor
10% ph34r.gif

I hope with all these low scores that you say that you're from Syria or Chad to get their national average a bit lower! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Tried it several times; the best one was 60%... that was HARD! Got 100% on the European one though tongue.gif

Didn't know there was a european one!

I got 30%, bit annoyed though because it registered a click on Luxumborg when I was aiming for Holland, you have to be a bit accurate with some of those tiny countries!!

Will try again another day...
Trebor
Managed to get a 40, so I'm at least vaguely respectable now.

Just realised you can only play once every 24 hours for your result to be submitted into the league table.

I thought it said 3 times?

I managed better on N American countries, and got 90% on Europe I think - had a blank moment with Belgium *blush*

I practiced the African countries... just managed to get 100% several times in a row. Time will tell if I remember any of them though...
JohnS
It is three times a day.

I practise here.

This is a great site and gives you a lot of detail about each country. smile.gif

10%......
sarah-flute
I just upped the official UK score on the African countries challenge by slightly over 1% biggrin.gif
Boo Radley
I got 70% then 80%. I used to be good on capitals but I only got 30%. Evil countries though.

That's pretty good going unless you were really lucky with the countries they picked!

I just got 60% on the global one... got all the African ones right though laugh.gif

Geography was always my best practical subject. Lets try it now, see what I get. . .

EDIT: 70, 50 ph34r.gif , 70 (although on the 50 one of the countries was Holy See! Which then turned out to be the Vatican, what's that about. And how am I supposed to know where Nauru is!)

80, 80, 60, 70, 90, 100! biggrin.gif Yess! I'm taking a break now before I suffer a geographical breakdown!

One of the few random ones that I knew was the Holy See wink.gif

Need to learn Europe now... ohmy.gif
