I got it with half the time left.........sheesh.....Its not really that hard
:stupid:

Of course, I remember vividly in a high school social studies class a girl not knowing where *China* was on a world map. F'ing *China* - she didn't have a clue.....

I guess I should stop being surprised. I blame the parents. :D

I got them all. I only got tripped up on one. I think it was Kansas/Arkansas. I guess that's what I win for being a geography major and driving across the country this summer.
You're a geog major and you missed KS/AR? :nuts:

Geezus. There is no hope for our society........

30 of 39 on canada (got nunuvat, yukon and NW territories screwed up)

96 out of 111 on europe, missed some of the balkan states (and i got screwed by 2 pts in a glitch, where i knew where kaliningrad (fka konisberg) was, clicked on it, and the thing said "no, that's where kaliningrad (russia) is". doh!

got all the US right.

75/84 on asia (got vietnam, thailand and cambodia jumbled, but guessed right on some of the new muslim -stan countries)

75 of 87 for the middle east (georgia/armenia screwups, and how did they forget bahrain?)

36 of 39 for south america (missed uruguay)

18 of 24 for australia (although if they didn't correct you, i would have probably missed a couple others)

33 of 42 (missed obvious ones like belize and puerto rico, doh!)

78 of 147 for africa (definitely my weakest continent, but pulled togo and senegal out of my a$$).


good stuff! do i win the geography geek award?

I'm not really sure what this is supposed to mean. I got one of them wrong (might have been OK, not sure) but I could have figured it out if I had thought about it and not just guessed.

Besides, it's social geography for the most part. It's not like I sit around and memorize zip codes and stuff all day...
