    Europe: 111/111

    Africa: 123/147

    Asia: 84/84

    Australia: 21/24

    Canada: 27/39

    Carribean: 33/72

    Central America: 39/42 (confused Honduras and Nicaragua)

    Middle East: 87/87

    South America: 39/39

    USA: 108/150

    World: 33/33

    Overall: I think I could have done better... but the Carribean and the USA really killed me, while in Africa I actually did better than I expected.

      caribbean: 53/72, lots of guessing there

      Can't be bothered to do the rest, I know I'd score 100% anyway.

          USA - 146/150 (I quite clearly clicked on Rhode Island, but they claimed I did Connecticut, the bastards!)

          Europe - 111/111
          Central America - 30/42
          Asia - 79/84
          Canada - 38/39
          SA - 34/39
          ME 80/87

          not too bad...

            71/147 Africa (this was the first one I took and I didn't know you got second or third tries, I just clicked next question when I was wrong )
            110/111 Europe (clicked too near the border on Serbia and it thought I meant Bosnia...)
            35/39 Southamerica
            80/84 Asia
            56/150 USA (thanks to civ scenarios I could probably point out all of the state capitals though...)
            28/39 Canada
            33/33 World
            76/87 Mideast
            32/42 Centralamerica
            42/72 Caribean (it's been too long since I last played pirates... And some of the islands have changed their names too )

              99/111 Europe

              71/150 USA

              I was happy with my Europe score. The USA quiz is completly out of format with the others. I was expecting a easy click to point where the USA is and then done I managed to scrape the score I did through learning which states were which when I got it wrong.

              The obvious justification is that this is an American quiz, and they are batty about learning all their states. How would you compare if the rest of the countrys were divided up into adminstrative districts?

                  Well, I used to be the champion of my High school 5 years running. The teachers were sad when I won in grade 8 beating out the grade 12s.

                  I earned a free trip twice to Vancouver, and the third time I was 'too old' by a month to go.

                  Would probably have gone back east, but I hate oral tests, because I don't hear all that well.

                  Interesting to see all the Canadians scoring higher than the Americans on their own states. Doesn't surprise me, given the quality of public school education.

                        I once ranked #6 worldwide in a geography quiz for capitals (also US states). Mercator was #1 there.

                        Asia: 83/84, damned central asian republics but now I know it all
                        Australia: 20/24, who cares
                        Africa: 127/147 damned Congos, Guineas etc...
                        South America: 38/39, damned Guyanas
                        Canada: 36/39
                        World: 33/33

                          USA 53/150 (I'm a silly european, don't blame me)

                          South America 30/39

                          Asia 71/84

                            100% for everything except for those bloody specky little Caribbean islands...

                                My, I can't believe I really scored 53/150 about USA... what the hell is Vermont, a state or a red wine?
