Does anyone remember this geography quiz. It's been a while since it was last here and we've got tons of new people, so I felt like I'd post it again.
(I have trouble with the East European countries! )
Africa: 73/162 (Oh dear goodness! I'm a failiure at Africa and last time I memorized the whole thing, sigh) Asia: 68/87 (much better at Asia) Australia: 20/24 (This one I put down to my sloppiness, it's really easy to get this all right if you think) South America: 22/39 (No excuse, really, I even had a bit of trouble finding Argentina!) United States: 77/150 (I passed! ) Canada: 39/39 No excuses if I hadn't! Middle East: 73/87 (if you're in the news a lot...) China: 27/93 (considering I went in knowing NOTHING, I think I did well! ) Oceania: 43/96 O.o Central America: 21/42 *sniff* World: 33/33 (woo!)

I got an 83. Every single one I got wrong were the eastern european countries, and mostly the baltic ones. Its not my fault though, as a kid those were all labeled "U.S.S.R." in my text books.

I kind of kicked myself on a few. Being a German student, I know all the bordering countries... but I got a few of them mixed up (Belgium/The Netherlands and Austria/Switzerland). I've actually studied some of the craziness down by Macedonia and those countries, but I guess I'm still not sure which one's which
Edit: 78/87 on Middle East - I didn't think my knowledge on anywhere but Europe was worth reporting, but I guess my Intro to Black Culture class paid off!

When I was younger, the shower curtain one of the bathrooms was a huge world map.
We use new maps (read: postUSSR) in school. It's always easier if you look at the blank map and try to name all of them first, and then answer the questions.
Europe: 109/111 Africa: 128/162 Asia: 80/87 Austrailia: 20/24 A lot of these were just made sense... Canada: 31/39 Carribean: 38/68 Central America: 39/42 China: 21/93 Mostly guessing. Inner Mongolia and Tibet were easy. Hainan was that little island... Middle East: 85/87 Oceania: 54/96 South America: 37/39 USA: 149/150 !@#$ Vermont and New Hampshire... World: 33/33

I got 145 on the US and I know I was hitting the right ones, but I guess I wasn't lining the cursors up correctly. Grr....those tiny New England states are hard to click!
Got 100% on the world. That one was easy.
haven't done the others, I'm sure I would fail miserably
