Cleared level 9. I agree about charitable. If you just get it in the right country, you're fine. Still not easy, though. I finally went down when it started cranking countries I couldn't even put on the right continent.

It was some of the Pacific islands that messed me up, plus mixing up places like Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan

Me too, Ash. In Africa, I know where South Africa, Zimbabwe(sp?), Morocco, and Egypt are and that's about it.

Level six 83

Not bad for not taking a geography class since high school ^_^

Level: 8
I've been to many places ^^'
I agree--those African places were hard. Should've paid more attention in geography class.

Doesn't help. Some African countries change their names every decade or so. ;) :grin:

Level 10 complete, 381552 points.

I got 17km from some place...

The distance points should not be linear! It seems like it kind of is..

Norskies... building the Norwegian World Empire one island at a time, since the Eighth Century!

Yeah, you laugh now, but in the year AD 3924 you won't be laughing!

To be honest I'm ashamed of my geography skills. Managed to get through eight levels here, mostly because it's pretty generous.

Not to mention city and street names. :rant:

Final level = 5. I'm not a geography fan unless I get to go there.

10. I can get everything but Africa pretty well. On level ten I got almost nothing but Africa. The closest I've ever gotten to a target was 15.

I got to level 8 this time...I sure don't know my African/Eastern European countries...

I fell a few thousand points short of clearing level 9.

I general geography is pretty good, but city locations are a tad trying. I felt good about knowing Lesotho is in South Africa, though.

I f only I had been playing that day that came up on the million dollar question.

Heh, I got to level 11, and was about 5000 pts off from level 12... Too bad. I like geography enough - it's okay, but not my fav subject.

The closest I got to a city was about... 26 km, I think. Too bad. My computer's so slow it's almost impossible to click fast. >.<;;

That game was fun! I'm going to recommend it to my mom. She likes those geography-type games. ^^
