Title: Geography quiz!! Post by: Cedric6014 on July 12, 2007, 05:58:04 am Any geography geeks out there? There must be! This site lets you locate countries/states on a map and scores you. I got 132 pts for USA! Helps having an American girlfriend. I ALMOST got all of Europe except I screwed up on Serbia dagnabbit.
Russia was a bit trickier… http://www.lizardpoint.com/fun/geoquiz/ Title: Re: Geography quiz!! Post by: Amiga_Nut on July 12, 2007, 07:10:24 am (http://www.softpedia.com/screenshots/Google-Earth_1.png)

I'd get close to 0 for the Caribbean/Oceania/China/Russia/India. :P And obviously I'm not very good at sub-nation regions. :-X Title: Re: Geography quiz!! Post by: Zeep-Eeep on July 12, 2007, 10:06:39 pm I used to be a geo geek in high school, but I've forgotten where many of the countries
are now. Alas. (Atlas?) I have a fond memory of geo class in school when a girl asked, "Is Asia in Russia?" Ah, fun times. Title: Re: Geography quiz!! Post by: AngusThermopyle on July 12, 2007, 10:22:34 pm I used to be good at this too. There have been a lot of changes in the world since my high school days though (like the Balkans for example).
Oh, well...at least I can still ace the USA quiz. :D Title: Re: Geography quiz!! Post by: Zeep-Eeep on July 13, 2007, 05:30:16 pm I'm from Canada, and we only have 13 regions. It was pretty easy to pass the test.
Title: Re: Geography quiz!! Post by: Death 999 on July 13, 2007, 06:13:51 pm 149/150 on US (I switched Vermont and New Hampshire)
112/117 on Europe (Yugoslav fragments nailed me, and I mixed up Molvania... I mean Moldova... with Ukraine) 37/39 on Canada (PEI, and I figured the NW territories would be in the NW. Go figure.) 95/96 on Asia (I thought Tajikistan was Uzbekistan) The asia quiz is broken. I answered Singapore correctly and it said I was wrong, TWICE. Really, they should have set aside the entire interior of those little circles as belonging to the encircled state. Oh well. Title: Re: Geography quiz!! Post by: Cedric6014 on July 14, 2007, 12:48:04 am 94/96 for Asia (screwed up the central Asian countries)
But get this: 158/162 for Africa! I challenge anyone to beat that Title: Re: Geography quiz!! Post by: Resh Aleph on July 14, 2007, 05:50:18 am But get this: :o Impressif [sic]. Africa is a really despairing one.158/162 for Africa! I challenge anyone to beat that And indeed, the stans in Asia and former Yugoslavia in Europe were troublemakers. :P I managed to get a perfect score for USA on the sixth attempt (up from 89/150...). Now I actually get the states joke in the Simpsons trailer (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/fox/thesimpsonsmovie/). :D Title: Re: Geography quiz!!

36/39 Canada $%&@$%&%#@* @$^@!##&$@%$#!%#@ Thanks for ruining my perfect score for an entitre continent, Prince Edward Island. I did not know that little floating turd even existed. Outside of North America, I do not trust my geography at all. Maybe I should try memorizing South and Central America so I can say I know half the planet really well. |
