Wow, it looks like I go to the head of the class. ;;) I didn't even have to polish any apples.

What changed the IQ results there?

I took the test shortly after it appeard on Tripadvisor and had an IQ of around 138. A few weeks later it fell to 114, even though I hadn't done the test again.

A couple of days later, it bounced back to the original score for one day, then dropped back to 114 and has been there for several weeks.

My score was 538,461, IQ 132.

Anyone know if there is another level above 12?

It's the Russian cities out in the middle of Siberia and the islands that aren't on the map that frustrate me. I think the closest distance I got was a few in the 20km range but I think that's luck. 50km is more typical if you know the location.

I am a turnip.

This is fun and addicting.

Thx for sharing.

Man, you guys rock. I can get over 100 but I'm cracking under the pressure!

I got a 122, level 11. A lot of fun!!!

I'm starting to develop carpal tunnel syndrome :0 Man, that map is small... First time I got 53somethingthousand points but it wouldnt give me an IQ and the second time I got 122. Fun link, tnx for posting.

ok, I'm addicted...I keep getting 122, I can't get past level 11, this where i start getting the 'this earth you know that, right' comments :(

134

I landed within a few km of Thimpu and Libreville.

One flaw with that program. It calculates distances based on their map, not on a globe, giving distances over the real maximum of around 12,000 miles

In the unlikely event that you click fairly close to a mid Pacific location, but on the wrong side of the map. They will tell you that you were off by nearly 24,000 miles:-)

Should I be proud that I clicked within 16km of the Hofbräuhaus? :) Then I blew it when the screen said Papua, New Guinea and my brain read Equatorial Guinea. :(

Points 600,275
Score 135

111 on the first try, didn't make it past level 10. Does anyone really keep track of all the new countries in Africa?

Yippee, got a 135! Wouldn't let me advance past level 12 though, even though I beat the "score to advance" (just barely!).

"For those who want more practice identifying countries while being timed, try National Geographic's Geospy website. My 7th grader had to identify all 53 African countries in 3 minutes."

I have to ask why teachers require this. I had to do something similar and find that after 35 years the country borders have changed, the names of the countries and even city names have changed. Why did I go through all that memorization?

Because that is where the education is supposed to start, not where it should end.
