Geography game

[Bricklayer]

Let me continue on my free throw rant. I live in Singapore, it's a south east asian country for those who don't know. We are not very good in many sports at all, to be honest. But anyway one day I was watching an ASEAN cup game or something like that between Singapore and Thailand. Our national teams. For the several minutes I watched, Singapore and Thailand combined to shoot 12 Free throws. Of the 12, only 1 was made.

Oh how I do love the standard of my national team ... Anyway. Kings, kindly do not follow the example set. Go kick some blazer butt

1) Don't sell us short just yet -- we could still make a run at that sort of FT streak with the way we have been shooting them.

2) you guys are basically a single big city on an island, not being one of Asia's dominant sports powers isn't terribly surprising. China probably has more mailmen than you have people.

3) As an aside, I find it sad that we Americans have developed such a bad reptuation for crappy geography that posters from overseas feel they have to describe their country in detail so we'll know where the hell it is.

I saw a show one time where a guy standing in Times Square was asked, "what city is the Empire State Building located in?" He answered, "Chicago?" You could see it in the background behind him. And people wonder about our education system.

"Like such as, uh, South Africa, and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as."

I heard an interview a while ago on NPR about this website:

It is a fun geography game where you have to pin-point geographical locations (you can specify, World, U.S., Europe, etc.). I remember in the interview, the interviewee was saying that the U.S. ranked near dead last as far as average scores (for the world challenge) goes.

I must admit that I did not score close to as well as I thought I would. Give it a try. It's fun.

i honestly cant get past level 2, doesnt look like ill be traveling out of the country anytime soon

 

[cstorm]

92. Thought I'd do better. Next time I'll make the map bigger.

92, the middle east killed me. The small map makes it difficult and the timer adds a bit of pressure to make you hurry. Fun game though.

 

[Warhawk]

IQ of 93.

Seen this one before and the score really depends on the randomizer at times.

 

[Jespher]

Level 10 complete with 389,094 points. Traveler IQ 112 .

They start to load up on really small city countries in Africa and southeast Asia. Ouch.

^Haha the first time I saw that was on one of the Keyboard Cat videos

I agree with Warhawk that this seems to depend on the randomizer for me. Didn't we have a thread on this already? Because I remember playing it before

It's been a while but I got 495,072/11/123 on my first try.

I can't believe how much I've forgotten. It's almost as if I don't look at Mauritius on a map very often and it fades from my memory.

Slater should get an award for not losing it on the stage right then and there. You see him almost break...but he pulls it together and rides it out like a pro.
