38, 36 then 52.
That's a very fun game, thanks.
52 again, but I did get lucky with a few. The W African states are killers. Central/East Europe are tough as well.
I know! The -stans and the central european countries were my downfall :P
Ouch - just got a 30. Lots of central African nations.
I know!! kinda maddening :P
Dear God - 22? That's just awful.
Get with the program Lod.. bring it up to a 30~ :P
Doubtful, when you haven't even heard of the "nations." They didn't even give me BFEgypt.
I got 72 and 87.
"It is the old practice of despots to use a part of the people to keep the rest in order; and those who have once got an ascendency and possessed themselves of all the resources of the nation, their revenues and offices, have immense means for retaining their advantages." Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1798
You cheat!! :P
LOL!
I did find a way to cheat, sort of, but after I did the test. My only problem was I couldn't remember where Eritrea was, and that is right above Ethiopia. If I did, the second would have been 100. :p

82 and 81
Gad... lemme guess you had the US, Canada, France Germany and Russia ?? :P
Brutal round - a very unmanly 4. Magellan, I'm not. I swear, I did not know some of these places existed, and certainly not where they were not located.
Malawi, East Timor, Mali, RoK, DPRK, Myanmar, Bahrain, Oman, Paraguay, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, to name a few. This is too much fun, I'm going to try it again.
Seems to be fairly random, with emphisis on W Africa, and that will kill most Americans (And most Africans as well I suspect). They have nations I have hardly heard of.
Don't. You will never in this life, get 82 again. Trust me. Good luck, and have fun with it.
DRAT!! .. Agreed it is fun.. well that is if you want to feel like a dolt :P
I kill it on Central and S America. Even know all the official languages of the continent. English, Portuguese, French, Guranni (sp), Spanish.
They have nations I have That's better. 91.
Brunei and Bhutan were the two toughest on that one.
well this does bring to mind the Nigerians even if its not in west Africa.. :P
-- Tori Amos interviewed on German TV talking about the geography in terms of land and peoples. Interesting insights on Americans. She talks how we are so drowned in information we are kept from the truth; "to keep a people unaware, that is how you control them."
history and geography--my two worst subjects in school
I got 55. I lived in Netherlands but missed that one as it was too tiny to see, I think I was hitting on Belgium.
I assume you aced calculus and trig?
Good grief! What's with people getting 2 scores? I want to look up to see where Bhutan is.
You don't have to share everything with us, Diana. ^..^
Most Americans are terrible about both. I once asked a bogus Vietnam Vet to point to Vietnam on a world map for me and several people and I laughed hysterically as he poured over it totally lost. (He was looking for it between China and Russia.) It is the easiest way to debunk false vets.
Think Nepal/
I thought it was in that general area, elephants came to mind.
yeah, cute guys. both. :P
Saw a video that I think was for real where poeple at the mall got easily convinced by a con guy that Iraq was Australia. Funny for a minute then scary and depressing.
If you did a crusade that we never went to Iraq and the war was all done in the studio like the Moon landing was according to some scammers selling "proof video tapes" I'm sure you could sell some on that. This is an element that makes the truth movement on 9-11 a harder sell. Those hiding the truth can deflect by pointed out that people are gullible anyway and get mileage from that.
I believe that is a pretty well established fact well known by the PTB. And they exploit often. We have been trained to responed to authority dresses (suits and ties) as if they were our potentates. Put the idiots on TV and they are our God of the hour. It is really an impressive pysco control mechanisum imbedded in all of our minds, though the bodygards and machine guns help alot.
Geography am not my my strong smoot. Man, my sense of direction is abysmal.
