It's a 10 question geography quiz where you have to pick out the locations of randomly selected countries. They ask you your country and state and they track each state's progress. So help your state be the smartest geographically!

And help your country while you're at it.

So far, the top five countries are:

1 Italy
2 Ukraine
3 Ireland
4 Mexico
5 South Korea

other countires of note:

62 Canada
90 United States
106 United Kingdom

out of 179 countries with players.

As for the states, the top five:

1 New Mexico
2 South Carolina
3 Missouri
4 Tennessee
5 Oklahoma

and the bottom five:

47 Delaware
48 South Dakota
49 Texas
50 Maine
51 Arkansas

Help your state beat New Mexico! Unless you happen to live there of course.

God that's the truth! I live in Texas now, but I'm also in a state of denial. I just tell people that I live here, but my heart is still in Michigan.

Mysty Eyes · 11-21-2004, 12:47 PM

ThirteenInchEscape · 11-21-2004, 02:10 PM

70%, and I got Liectsechen (that's actually pretty easy if you know where it is at all)

The only ones I missed were Senegal, Somalia, and some other African country, and I think I accidentally clicked on one I didnt mean to for Somalia, because it said I clicked on south Africa, and I have a pretty good idea where Somalia is (North of South Africa and South of Ethiopia)

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 11-21-2004, 02:16 PM

I was gonna represent NH, but felt the need to help out Maine since we're one of the worst 5. Though with my knowledge, it could go both ways.

OMG I got one right!! I had no idea. Tajikistan. Whoda thought?!

The ones I got wrong:
taiwan I SAID indonesia
burkina faso I SAID malta
central african republic I SAID DR of congo
equatorial guinea I SAID sudan
holy see I SAID bahrain
romania I SAID poland
tajikistan RIGHT!

argentina I SAID peru
guyana I SAID columbia
