hee hee - this game is actually quite competitive!! i wonder what top score is.....

michelle

193

It gave me luxembourg first, arhh. the only ones i got wrong was moldova and most of the pin prick size countries, it didn't help that i was didn't know all the codes.

198 I would've done better if they'd given the full country names

There is a hint button if you don't know the country code. It seems to penalize you for clicking it, though.

woo hoo i did it got a top score of 230 - man that was tough - i just realised that im really quite sad and very competitive! it took me like 15 goes but i got there

ok need to go and find another quiz to keep me amused - can you tell i leave for my trip soon!! seriously need to keep my mind off the fast approaching monday as it makes my head spin

Overachiever.

I finally hit 200!!!! The codes are still killing me.

Geography isn't made for mollycoddles, Callilucy.

Just tried again, and I'm still a few points away from the 230 mark. No progress is being made, as this time I accidentally placed San Marino a few millimeters too far south. That's the third or fourth time now. You'd think I'd have adapted by now.

At this point, I am comfortable conceding the Silver Medal to someone else, as I don't want to play this game more than five times. That's just way too many do-overs for one to maintain one's dignity.

On my second attempt I got 222 points.

That is the coolest game ever. I got a 199, a little beter than my first score. I was in the right area on most but i guess you have to be exact. It would be cool if there was a game like that, that covered the entire globe.

I'm a geography moron and while I do hate to be mollycoddled it may take me awhile to catch up with the rest of the class. Which means for me, the dignity thing is out the window.

Haha! I didn't even notice you'd played the game 15 times until now. No offense meant. Perhaps I should say "too many do-overs for me to maintain my dignity." (Fragile as it is. )

nah its cool man i can take it! plus i didnt take offence dont worry - you gotta keep trying though mate its lonely up here on the podium by myself
