I blew it on World Capitals (Medium), Level 6. 165,138 points up to then. <Sigh> Third-graders (or equivalent) in China and Japan probably would make me look sick.

Level 11 and 479,871 points. On first try. Gotta try again... I'll be damned if I can't make it to the 12th level.

I need a bigger map. It sucks getting old.

One of the joys of moving around like we did is that I missed a lot of stuff at school. Geography is one of the biggies. I never did capitals, or countries or state capital. I did the states in fifth grade, but can barely recall what I learned - it was 19 years ago.

I need a bigger map. It sucks getting old.

it also sucks doing this on a laptop with a touchpad not a mouse.

[FurryFury]

Ubi I'm not good at.

The map is very small though.

*grr*

Many thanks for the link WriterDom, my Geography has been appaling ever since my long, long gone schooldays, but this quiz has helped me sharpen it and will continue to do so...I love quizzes of all sorts.

Map-size sucked. Oddly enough, I rocked the central and eastern European stuff. Surprised myself there. The Middle East? Not so rockin...

Thanks for posting this WriterDom...I needed a new obsession. At least this one reactivates those slumbering brain cells!

A larger map would help tons with the accuracy.

*It will not beat me. I shall conquer all levels! Unfortunately at this moment it is kicking my ass.*

These puzzles really help if you have weak areas. Mine is Africa.

I got to level 12. Map needs to be bigger. How they managed to get such particular distances on such a small map is beyond me.

*grins* I love this thread...

The phone rang at the end of level 10, but I ended with about 490,000.

I'll try again later when I'm feeling a bit better but am tempted to use it for my kids at school hehe.

 

[sureibu]

I got to level 6 with 156,253 points.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

Level 8 (World Capitals - Hard) this time, 254,523.

I think I'll go back to the grains of rice thingie. That's just words. I can do words.

 

[Etoile]

Score - 388,158
Level - 10
IQ - 113

My closest mark was 31km, for Ankara, but then again I've been there. I had a 33km mark too but I forget where.

 

[Etoile]

Decided to play the USA one too: http://www.travelpod.com/traveler-iq/usa

Closest mark: 5km for the City of Brotherly Love, which is probably as close as you can get on that size map.

Final IQ: 111

 

[Plucky19]

Grrr... still stuck on level 11...

I got within 10 km on a few, but get rushed by the time and wind up slapping my forehead as soon as I make the wrong choice... hehe.

This game is addictive!

 

[Plucky19]

*Sighs* I am obsessed and keep getting stuck on level 11.

 

[EmpressFi]

I love it and get stuck on it all the time..

 

[Plucky19]

Grrrrr.... up to 500,000 and IQ of 125, but still can't get past level 11. I think it's because I click too fast... and generally do each one in 2 seconds or so.

I love this game

 

[Plucky19]

I have no life... lol.

556,000... almost made it past level 12 and even got my traveller IQ up to 137.

Ok, I give up for now hehe

 

[VelvetDarkness]

I'm a bit hazy on parts of Africa and places that used to be the USSR and Yugoslavia. I missed Pearl Harbour by about half the pacific. Guess that's what comes of not fancying Josh Hartnett.

 

[Plucky19]

I keep messing up between mauritius and mauritania *sighs*

I just hit trafalgar though at 1km
