Katie98_KT		2006-09-14 10:04:28 PM

30, 20, 20. Stupid quiz. If you're going to do a geography quiz, you have to weight it for importantance. I don't care where "Andorra" or "Monacco" are.

Oh.. 50%. mwhahahah.

shallowminded		2006-09-14 10:06:31 PM

30 on world, 70 on NA, 10 on capitals (thx. Beijing!)

peachy92		2006-09-15 01:13:46 AM

peachy92: /Former Georgraphy Bee winner.

My team got 2nd or third place in the county in 7th grade.

funmike		2006-09-15 01:32:20 AM

I don't believe Nauru is really a country. They just made up that word to confuse me.

JerseyTim		2006-09-15 02:54:53 AM

60, but I totally guessed on Zambia. I think I should get points for Bahrain, since I picked Qatar and it's right there.

TheXerox		2006-09-15 03:11:01 AM

70% world, the small west African countries and the tiny islands in the Pacific got me.

shady_lady		2006-09-15 05:12:14 AM

Europe & Asia = good, good.

Africa & Islands = bad, horrid.

there's another test floating around atm where you have to grab the outline of the country and put it into a map of the world, like a jigsaw puzzle. went better at that.

/moldova?

NickelP		2006-09-15 06:19:14 AM

I'd just like to say, if the country isn't big enough to actually show up and all you can see is an arrow, it shouldn't be on this ;p

Eat More Possum		2006-09-15 07:07:29 AM

shady_lady: moldova?

Interesting place...Sandwiched between Ukraine and Romania. 4 million people, 1/4 of them in the capital of Kishinev. Major export is wine.

/read atlas' for pleasure

urger		2006-09-15 07:19:56 AM

LZeitgeist		2006-09-15 07:19:59 AM

Wow, I suck at geography.

olddinosaur		2006-09-15 07:20:36 AM

50%, sucked at finding Samoa among a bunch of islands in the Pacific. Didn't do any better in the Carribbean either.

PoopsMcGhee		2006-09-15 07:23:57 AM

Death by Misadventure		2006-09-15 07:24:05 AM

after doing that I realize that there are too many countries. Seriously, People, WTF? We need like 20 countries tops.

udeng01		2006-09-15 07:24:28 AM

80% Missed Mauritis and Liberia.

tshauk		2006-09-15 07:25:02 AM

That does it.. I'm putting a stop payment on my student loan check.

lhclubs		2006-09-15 07:26:03 AM

It's sad that this test implies that the subject of "Geography" consists of nothing more than knowing the shape and location of various countries.

protonfury		2006-09-15 07:27:09 AM

thats annoying. most of the ones i missed, i was one country away. argh

ZombieStomper		2006-09-15 07:28:18 AM

50%.

Damn those banana republics and African tin pot dictatorships.

Eclipser13		2006-09-15 07:29:14 AM

Africa completely screwed me over...

CloudBoy		2006-09-15 07:29:23 AM

Geography major here....40%. Had the region of the world perfect on each question, but picking which farking island was "Tuvalu" was a biatch.

/zoom in tool WOULD have been nice
//extra slashy to hang my head in shame

YoungSwedishBlonde		2006-09-15 07:30:12 AM

90% - I selected Malawi instead of Rwanda.

Guessed correctly on Greece, Sweden, South Korea, Central African Republic, Bhutan, Nauru, Mauritania, Malta, Afghanistan

autopsybeverage		2006-09-15 07:30:23 AM

Didn't I already take this test here?

ZombieStomper		2006-09-15 07:31:38 AM

My wife tried. First country she got was Mali.

She abruptly said "fark it. I have more important things to do..."

lhclubs		2006-09-15 07:33:55 AM

Sometimes, when I swear, I replace the swear word with the name of an African capital city. It's educational, and just as effective, but without being offensive.

/Example: "Oh, Mogadishu! Where did I leave my Ouagadougou car keys?"

Have You Met Miss Jones		2006-09-15 07:35:26 AM

By the time I made this post, several African nations have changed names. Twice. That's Africa for you.

Sloth-Man		2006-09-15 07:36:21 AM

80%, just stay away from Africa and im fine :P

/read the atlas as a kid

tremorr		2006-09-15 07:39:50 AM

80% but I got the bunny quiz - missed trinidad and tabasco (I picked Jamaica) and the democratic republic of bongo (I picked neighboring Sedan). I got paraguya, uruguay, and slovakia, though. But it also asked for Somalia, Netherlands and China and Russia (which it asked for 2x), so it was kinda hard to get below 50%.
