I haven't even heard of some of these countries.

 
evslin 2005-07-23 12:41:49 AM  
Average off was 76 miles. Part of it was the little dots known as Monaco, etc., other part was the fact that I don't know eastern Europe as well as I know western Europe.

/lived in Germany for 5 years

 
jonmori 2005-07-23 12:45:53 AM  
Western Europe, pretty good, eastern, not so good

51% correct.

Not a total retard I hope.

You forgot Poland, didn't you?

 
TheRevHairless 2005-07-23 12:51:17 AM  
Same as some of the above, Western Europe I got pretty good, was off a lot on the Eastern Europs, but I think that is becuase of how it has been so broken up in the last 15-20 years.

/at least that is the excuse I am using.

Yeah, like I'm supposed to be able to drop Luxembourg onto a blank fricken' map....

Second try: 42 / 45. I know where Monaco, Andorra, Lietschenstein are. What's France?

 
Mr. Programmer 2005-07-23 12:53:12 AM  
LOL Yeah rigth1!

 
Shadow Fairy 2005-07-23 12:53:22 AM  
I got most of them within 26 miles, but I farked up on the little dot countries. My boyfriend and I have contests once in a while where we have to name as many countries and their capitals as we can in 15 minutes. We also do the States and their Capitals, but thats gotten too easy. The bonus is that it gets harder the drunker we get.

We are such geeks.

 
Will N. Dowd 2005-07-23 12:53:51 AM  
80% / 75 miles / 414 secs

Why can't we just do all the EU countries as one?

And why isn't the average error in kilometers?

 
evslin 2005-07-23 12:54:02 AM  
Steep Spiral:

Yeah, like I'm supposed to be able to drop Luxembourg onto a blank fricken' map....

Haha yeah no joke. Only reason I had even the vaguest idea was because that area's known as the Benelux. If you know where Belgium or the Netherlands are, Luxembourg is right there.

 
Yesdog [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 12:57:07 AM  
C'mon guys, I went to Texas public schools. You should be happy I'm not making meth out back in the shed.

 
kronicfeld [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 01:01:00 AM  
76%/56 miles/400 sec

Starting with Moldova, San Marino, Liechtenstein, and Macedonia didn't help my accuracy. I know where most places are only in relation to the bigger states.

 
Steep Spiral [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 01:01:20 AM  
evslin

Monaco and Liectenstein sucked too!

 
JerseyTim [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 01:01:54 AM  
Andorra? They made that shiat up.

I still can't believe I placed san marino in the right area of Italy

The little countries screwed me up.. that and I kept getting close but not quite close enough.

 
log_jammin [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 01:04:53 AM  
"Russia (european part)" Was nearly impossible to find...

Has the other continents, plus other types of games for each (trivia for each country, one where you have to rotate the countries and place them, etc.).

A friend sent me this a few weeks ago. I found that I averaged about 80% across all the contintents, Africa being my worst.

 
rcf1105 [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 01:07:49 AM  
I failed miserably, but to be fair, the judge in that game is brutal. Who really cares if half of France is submerged?

 
neeners 2005-07-23 01:09:24 AM  
Y'all are wimps! Try something really hard, like:
Africa (pops)

 
theding0 2005-07-23 01:10:01 AM  
I put France somewhere between Russia and China.
/on purpose!

 
Sphinx16 2005-07-23 01:10:31 AM  
Yeah, too many tiny countries.
But, that's Europe.
I know Eastern Europe like the back of my hand. 1986 Eastern Europe. Was a hell of a lot easier then.

My score was something like 65 miles off. 40/45. My most egregious error was placing Vatican City in the wrong side of Italy.

 
RyoShin 2005-07-23 01:10:40 AM  
71% correct

32/45

 
Action Replay Nick [recently expired TotalFark] 2005-07-23 01:10:52 AM  
Well, at least I don't believe in Jesus.

*raspberries*

 
BillCosby 2005-07-23 01:11:29 AM  
77.5%, 38/45, 49 miles.

F'd up on Moldova and all the little cities (except vatican city).

 
JerseyTim [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 01:12:54 AM  
I totally guessed on Belarus and nailed it.

 
BillCosby 2005-07-23 01:13:34 AM  
Wait a second, I got 38/45 but it say my score is 84%. Is that European math?

 
kronicfeld [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 01:16:30 AM  
BillCosby: Wait a second, I got 38/45 but it say my score is 84%. Is that European math?

As your attorney, I advise you to buy a calculator.

No, but there is a time thingy that factors in there somewhere.

 
DivineKittyCat 2005-07-23 01:19:48 AM  
HAH second try I got my clicking better... 100%

/can I help it if I've always been good at geography?

 
kurt-roges 2005-07-23 01:23:59 AM  
stupid malta, stupid san marino, stupid slovenia. other than that, got a perfect.

 
NightWulf 2005-07-23 01:24:13 AM  
78% 35/45 Avg 90 miles

 
schief2 [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 01:31:13 AM  
39/45, 87%, average error 19 miles. PH3AR MY L33T G30GRAPHY SKILLZ. It's also just about impossible to drop some of those little craphole countries like Andorra in the right place, I think that's where most of my errors came from.

 
zmiley 2005-07-23 01:36:24 AM  
34/45, and I SUCK at geography. The only one I should've known is that France isn't really in the Middle East.

 
LordPistachio 2005-07-23 01:39:04 AM  
69% 111 miles. I sucked at eastern Europe.

 
mscrankyangel [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 01:40:24 AM  
56 percent, and sometimes I was the victim of a twitch in my mouse clicky finger

god damn belarus!

 
cranberryzero [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 01:43:37 AM  
they really skimped on the coastal detail of scandanavia, didn't they?

 
costermonger [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 01:45:57 AM  
Europe - 80% 64 miles, 278 seconds.
Africa - 68% 426 miles, 380 seconds.

 
Quick1 2005-07-23 01:47:41 AM  
I forgot Poland.

 
mrCasual 2005-07-23 01:53:11 AM  
Here's a hint: Ireland is the one shaped like liver disease.

 
Sphinx16 2005-07-23 01:58:58 AM  
Holy shiat that Africa one is hard as hell.

It's not like Risk at all. Except for the Congo.

I thought Andorra was Samantha's aunt.

 
some_random_guy 2005-07-23 02:05:02 AM  
Damn. 49%

Missed all the little dots and most of eastern europe. :(

Sorry guys

 
BillCosby 2005-07-23 02:10:16 AM  
On Africa I got 41/53, 77%, 200 mile error, 306 secs.

 
cmunic8r99 [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 02:10:48 AM  
76%/53 miles. Not quite close enough to go dropping nukes on Lichtenstein, but I could jack up a crap load of France with that accuracy!

 
Peaceboy [TotalFark] 2005-07-23 02:19:09 AM  
I'm so proud that I remembered the song "Albania... Albania... it borders on... the Adriatic."

It's awesome that it actually proved useful.

Some of you will know.

Otherwise, I pretty much got my ass kicked, with the eastern countries.

 
spelunking_defenestrator 2005-07-23 02:23:06 AM  
I got a 64%. I got a slew of tiny countries first, so I had no reference points. I got Lichtenstein, however, because I have always been fascinated by that country. I don't know why. I want to live there.
