Quite tough imo. On my first attempt I couldn't get past level 8.

[Dodge]

Level 8 here myself (first time out)

Nice link, cheers

[osarusan]

level 8 also. I guessed with 18km of some mosque in Iraq, but was over 13,000 out with the Comoros islands:o

[DmanDmythDledge]

Level 6 for me. I was 18km away from Trinity College. Was also asked Blarney Stone.

[jebus]

Level 6 for me. I was 18km away from Trinity College. Was also asked Blarney Stone.

Got to within 26km for the Blarney Stone. Have only now realised that I had no idea where the Easter Islands actually are :o

I found it here http://www.myp2p.eu/ on the main page of all places.

It's a bitch and I thought I was quite good at pointing locations out :(

[sonofstan]

Got to 10 - realise i don't know anywhere in China apart from beijing and Shanghai

[BohsPartisan]

Got to 10 aswell on the first go. My African geography is shocking though.

[Red&White Rover]

Level 6.


6km from Museum of Modern Art in NY

[Mr A]

Made L10 on first go- then it's just feckin guesswork!

[MojoPin]

3km from ayers rock in aussie ;)

[Torn-Ado]

Level 10 of 12.

47247 points.

[Schumi]

Level 11. :D

Probably helped by getting somewhere in Bhutan to within 16km. Got Big Ben to within 20. Was 14,600 out for the Marshall Islands. :D

[stojkovic]

Level 10 on my first go.

Traveller IQ of 108.

[dfx-]

Level 9 on my first go, IQ of 108 and 34113 in the round when I needed 35000:mad:

Helped with Galway, 6km from Pretoria and 12km away from Rabat.

Showed I hadn't really a clue distinguishing Singapore/Vietnam/Cambodia/Thailand area apart. And hopelessly guessed for places in Mexico.

[Schumi]

IQ was 122 , just found that bit.

I missed some place in Alaska by 4,000 km odd too, clicked in the middle of the US to hedge my bets. :o

[Torn-Ado]

Got to level 11 on my second go. I never heard any of the cities and basicall you have to hit and hope. These cities in Australia and Russia where you could be 10000 kilometres out.

I did that for Fairbanks:o

[Lim till i die]

Less than 1000 points shy of level eleven on first go the dastards


My African geography is shocking though.

Just click around the west of it, full of little countries :)

Was within 10km of Yerevan but was 400 and something shy of Dallas :eek: :p

Also, just how many pointless Pacific Islands can there be?!?!?!

[Schumi]

Made it to level 12 on my second go with 16 points to spare. Got a load of Russian places though so wasn't even close to getting any further.

[Poor Student]

Got to ten on my first go. African geography destroyed me. IQ of 110.

[Raheny Red]

I did that for Fairbanks:o

Yep me too and I keep on doing it too :o

[BohsPartisan]

Got to ten on my first go. African geography destroyed me. IQ of 110.

Yeah there was even a country I'd never heard of. I was shocked by that.
On Fairbanks, for shame. Wish I'd gotten it, I've been there.

[Green Tribe]

good one, got to level 12, then got tired

[BohsPartisan]

Got to friggin 10 again. Got Fairbanks this time - 39 km off! Got Tikrit to 23 km on a guess!

[pineapple stu]

503 points shy of the last round.

IQ 123.

[Raheny Red]

It can get quite repetitive at times and now it's a game of memory for me more than anything else

[kingdom hoop]

Sweet! I'm the best so far! :cool:

On first go; flew to level 12 with consummate ease and then dramatically faltered at the last hurdle with a few bogey Russian ones. Score of 565,732, and a satisfying IQ of 132. Nice to see Killarney register in the minds of the makers as a famous place.

I'd like to thank my 6th class geography nut of a teacher who taught us every capital city in the world. Those were the days. :)

Those titbits on most places were highly enlightening. I mean who knew Chad's capital N'Djamena meant 'place of rest', or that the capital of Bhutan and Pyongyang are the only capital cities in Asia not to have traffic lights, truly amazing. ****, I also learned that Dublin, Dubh Linn, meaning 'black pool', was so named because it is the largest and oldest natural treacle (?) lake in Northern Europe. Wowzers!

Just tried to find out WTF a treacle lake is and in my search discovered that there are over 1,000 prostitutes operating in the Dublin area on any given night. Most are women from outside Dublin, apparently. I've also just learned something very valuable for a night out; Women from Dublin are the least likely to become pregnant through casual sex. Women from Meath are the most likely. Finally in this sequence of amazing new facts, Dublin boasts more homosexuals per capita than San Francisco. :eek: (that was a copy and paste job, the word 'boast' was not of my choosing)

[kingdom hoop]

On Fairbanks, for shame. Wish I'd gotten it, I've been there.

Can't wait to go to Alaska. What was it like? Need one say more than aurora borealis?! :)

[Magicme]

Level 8. Gutted. Didnt realise that was soooo bad on South America and those little pacific islands. Did well in Africa tho!

[AidoM]

You are getting tooooooo cheeky girl! Sat nite is going to be fun.

Window of opportunity opening wider :eek: :p :D (maybe wrong thread, again)

[Magicme]

Yipeee! After Sat nite, Flannerys will be one of the places you have to locate on the geography game as it will be infamous!

[ollie]

Made it to level 10 in my first go...African geography is poor to say the least

iq = 114

[Schlooooomp]

Level 10 for me

[Magicme]

Did it again and did much better but what really surprised me was that they knew me!

They said "Holy Cow you are good at this". Did some of you email them and tell them about me?

[Raheny Red]

Level 10 - best so far. Got 352,296 points. 110 IQ

[BohsPartisan]

It'd be great if I friggin saw it. It was cloudy so all I saw was a green glow behind the clouds.

[KevB76]

[theworm2345]

****, just lost on level 12...I'm great at geography but Volograd and some odd places in Russia killed me

[strangeirish]

Level 3 :o
You an American????:D:D

[stojkovic]

Volgograd was formally Stalingrad which im sure you must have heard of.
There was a little battle there once.

They had a great team, Rotor (now nearly defunct), who knocked United out of the UEFA Cup in 1995/96 i believe.

Not to be confused with Volvograd which is in Sweden ;)

Yes that is why I said Volgograd and these other places in Russia

[mr miyagi]

Level 10...Traveller IQ of 112
....I missed Mauritius by 12000km :(

[KevB76]

You an American????:D:D

erm, the map was too small..... it was a long day......
ok ok so I need to get an atlas out :o

[theworm2345]

Just beat it a second time in a row... my countrymen may be ignorant of the world, but ****ing around on Wikipedia looking at places like Mayotte and Reunion's national football teams and then going to their main page has helped me alot (did you know Nauru's national soccer team is the only on to have won all of their matches?)
