How's Your Geography?

Another time-waster for you - addictive, though!

That was interesting and the boss even thought I was doing something offical since I just happened to be planning a trip.

Wow. I REALLY do not know European geography. I lucked out on a couple towards the end, but overall I scored 21,433.

[JeffG78]

Wow, it's a good thing I'm not a pilot. My passengers would be REALLY mad I was waiting for an easy one like Miami, but it never came.

[JR]

26,631 on the first effort. I seem to lack mouse skills more than geography skills!

JR

28,556 on the third try. I'll retire now.

Well shoot! If it asked me to land the plane in the correct country I'd have done well! But the correct city? From red dots? I gave up!

They asked for Birmingham and I gave it the old college try for Alabama, but turns out they were looking for England!!!

I'm sure glad we've got GPS!

I surprised myself, getting 18040 on my first try. And I landed in the wrong country a time or two.

All due respect Ray, but I was surprised to learn how small Europe is. Of course that shows how bad my geography is too.

[Ed62]

It's not a fair game. I don't think Ray tried landing in Chattanooga or Boise.

Well, compared to the USA (9,826,630 sq.Km. or 3,794,083 sq.miles), Europe is 10,180,000 square kilometres or 3,930,520 sq.miles, according to on-line sources, so maybe your eyesight needs a check!

Europe (which includes Russia) has a total population of around 710,000,000. USA current population figures are around 303,824,500, so perhaps that's why the USA feels bigger?

I excludeded Russia, though by rights I probably shouldn't. In two weeks I will drive 1000 kilometers and only travel through 3 states - 4 if you count the one I am leaving. Here I can drive for 3 days and never leave the country. There I can drive for 3 days and cross several of them.

That's like excluding Texas from the US!

Proves the old adage that the best things come in small packages.

Wow, 18,083, apparently there are other countries "over there" LOL
