For everyone out there who have always wondered where Europe was.

FYI I live here and I still got 6 wrong (though only one waaaaay off).

Anything smaller than Luxemburg, I missed. BTW, the Vatican is now on the East side of Italy.

oooh, shame on me. I didn't do very well at all. I got most of the big countries (Western Europe and Scandanavia) and all the ones with obvious coastlines, but the ones in the middle I didn't do very well on at all. Places like Latvia and Albania and stuff I completely misplaced. Hell, I even put Austria in the wrong place which isn't good. Admittedly it also listed me as having got Andorra, Vatican City and Monaco in the wrong place despite the fact that I was only very slightly off, which I thought was a bit mean since I put Belgium way out of where it actually is and it still said it was right.

But you know the really sad thing? I did it a second time straight after and still got about ten wrong.

I got 11 wrong. I think I would have done better if I could hav controled the order in which I placed the countries.

And the small ones were almost impossible to place.

I got 75% or 6 wrong but in reality did better because my hand slipped on one and the exact location on some smaller ones i didn't think was fair.

I'm kevin the CM of interlac the LSH APA. I don't come into this forum often but glad I did, I enjoy geography.

It was all those little countries and all stupid eastern europe all spilting up....

I got a 91% with four wrong. Average error of 24 miles. And same as everyone else it appears those stupid little countries are impossible to place. They need a zoom feature so you can pin-point those small countries if they are that picky about their placement.

I only messed up on the tinies (Luxembourg, Vatican City, San Marino and Malta) and on Macedonia. I was counted wrong on Slovakia, but I was close enough that I'm satisfied, even if they weren't.

Actually, I mean Leichtenstein. Luxembourg I got right.

I got three wrong - Belarus and Moldava were close, but hard to place exactly without context; as they came much earlier than their neighbors.

And I put Malta a little too far east.

93 percent, and an average errors of 16 miles. close enough that I can sleep tonight.

Second time out, missed two. Estonia, as a mental fart (I tried to but where Lithuania should go), and still misplaced damn little Malta! Avg error 15 miles.

My Eurpoean geography is terrible! I got 68% or 30/44 and would probably have done way worse than that if I hadn't gone searching for spaces that fit the shape of the countries I had, like a jigsaw puzzle.

At least I got the countries I've been to right.

I got 34/44, and a few of them were just trhoguh luck too - San Marino, Luxembourg, the Vatican City and Albania were all guesses.

43/44 (Stupid Czech Republic! How was i supposed to place that correctly first country up? )
Average error 4 miles... 98% correct... 189 secs

Of course, I kinda have an advantage from my job.

I only got 66% DOH!

I have done this so many times now im addicted. are there any more? I think europe would be my best I could have a bash at south amrica and would suck severly at africa.

Also I head about a site called something like the world geography test and you register what country your from and do the test and they rank how world aware people from various countries are. Apparently australia isnt doing to weel does anybody know that address?

More of the same available here Geography Quizzes - including versions where the names aren't listed, and the size or orientation needs to be selected properly as well as location...

And could this The Geography Olympics be the contest you're looking for? Off there myself to get some points for OZ!

Geez I got 6 wrong which I guess isn't that bad. All in Eastern Europe ofcourse. I have to admit I had no idea AT ALL where Slovenia and Moldova where. Kinda sad because I befriended a couple of young people from Slovenia this weekend. Got the girls email (yes i am a dog) and I couldn't admit to them I had no idea where the hell it was. But I think they knew most people don't know since she said "I'm from Slovenia...it's by Poland".

Well most of Eastern Europe is new geography basically. Damn Iron Curtain had kept us ignorant for years. doh!

There is no such thing as 'new' geography... (says the history major hehehehe)

Jorg-Em - are you sure those girls weren't actually from Slovakia? That's a lot closer to Poland than Slovenia is.

(Slovenia being one of the only countries on the map I got right.)

Slovenia, Slovakia, Slavonia

They oughta just start giving em numbers. Same for all the "stans."

57%

booooo

I assume the same goes for all those totally forgettable US states then?

Blacula, doh! Yes she was from Slovakia. Geez. The other from Europe...both were hot.

And I forget about some of the States as well trust me. Middle america is the weak point. And it came be some that are very far apart. I mean who knew that Iowa and Idaho aren't the same.
