Yes, but you must work on improving it.

92 IQ as a 20 years old american would not be respectable ;-)

Well, had a cup of coffee, ate some breakfast, took a shower, took a hard look at the map and the blue countries that blend in...

Come on now. That's like...a pixel. Gimme a break here...

I think this would be better if the ocean was blacked out, and if it didn't list countries with the cities. They ask cities and places in real small countries and all you really gotta know is where in the country is to get within 100Km of most of these places. But if you just had "Antwerp" on there...I'd be much further off. I feel like I'm testing my ability to know where countries are, much less the cities themselves.

And stupid similarly worded Mauritius, Mauritania! Gah!

lol, that one and one where i confused mali with malawi costed me most, though misplacing some US beach on the wrong coast me a lots of points too!

119, not bad for doing it at work and having to pause it every few seconds due to interruptions.

[Phlegmak]

Woo woo! I made it to level 10 with IQ of 114.

 

[warpus]

I got 114 too, and got stumped by a bunch of 'famous places' questions.

If I don't know about them, they can't be that famous, now can they?

I made it to level 12, but fell short by 6000 points. (Apparently Burundi is in Africa.)

Wasn't fair though! The islands were barely visible and the map is tiny!

In some cases, naming the country and at times even the state/province is sort of essential. Losing points because you clicked on Kingston (Jamaica) when the game wanted Kingston (Ontario, Canada) would be fifty shades of horsehockey. Same for Portland (Oregon, Maine, England), St John (Newfoundland, New Brunswick)...

It's actually St John's Newfoundland and St John NB. Man, where did you learn Canadian Geography?

138, the only one I really missed was a Norwegian island in the north atlantic.
The closest I ever got to a single site was 44km. If you get closer than this you're just lucky.

I did this on Facebook too. I made level 11 the first time, then tried again and got to level 12, but that was simply impossible...
