Yeah I liked it, too. It gets a little too easy, though, once you start to fill it in some.
Man, I'm looking at everyone's scores and feeling like a shlob! Time for me to get serious and do a little studying, it seems. |

I always get Kansas and Nebraska mixed up too. Tip: think of the song Elvis song "Kansas City" ("Kansas City...Kansas City, here I come...").
Kansas City is near St. Louis, which is in Missouri. |

US - 150
Europe - 110 (Latvia/Lithuania issues here too)
Asia - 86 (my -stan was Turkmenistan)
Africa - 154 (but it seemed much worse while I was doing it)
I highly recommend the Oceania quiz. |

Me too. Perhaps I'm not the geography genius I've always thought.  |

USA 148/150--Rhode Island is too small & I had a brain fart on Arkansas (clicked Alabama first.. dangit)
Europe 106/111 Darn those stupid former Yugoslav republics!!
Asia 82/87 Couldn't find Brunei & missed the first time on a couple of others.
In my own defense, it's Saturday morning and I have a headache. 
**edit: Canada 39/39 
Perfect score on the Middle East too...

Okay, if we're going to post our excuses, I took those quizes on prescription (codeine) nighttime cough syrup.
I'm still awake, though.  |

ummm, No. KC and StL are about 250 miles apart, and both are in Missouri. Kansas City is on the western border where the Missouri River turns off the border and heads into the state of its name, with Kansas City, KS across the state line near the Kansas River. St. Louis is on the eastern border near the intersection of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers opposite East St. Louis in Illinois.
Saying "KC is near StL" is like saying Seoul is near Busan.

Anyone feel sort of old when taking the quiz? I kept realizing how many changes happened to the world since my 6th grade class.
Took the middle east one and what should be done is a quiz on past and future places the U.S. has and will attack or fight in.
ME 84/87 |
