Just click where you think its geographic located. My closest has been 3 kilometers from a location. The object is to gain enough points to go to the next level, and so on. Speed and accurancy count, while misses will cause your downfall.

I have problems with all the "stan" countries that were or still are under the soviet(russian) flag, in the asian challenge.

dude, i've already beat all your scores and the page hasn'teven loaded yet...

Just to be a complete <deleted>.

3rd go scored

565,355

Level 12

IQ 132.

Good game that - could be randomised a bit more though.

Level 11

564,960

IQ 107

First go with three incoming phone calls (put on call back) can't remember the score but level 10 and IQ 111. I have big troubles with the 'stans as well also the bluddy Aussie places are always way out apart from Ayers Rock (Ulhuru). I'll try again after a cup of tea.

Good game, good game (said in a Bruce Forsyth voice)

Did it on my laptop though and the map was really small. Even the one'ss i knew for definate (instead of around and about) i was missing the spot by about 50Km. I'm gonna try it again on my big pc at home.

Typical, I can't leave it alone now !!

574,139

L.12

IQ - 132 - I am sure the cpu is overestimating this.

Pearl Harbour Doh! and some of the African countries, lost it on level 10 again.

(can this thread be linked to the other one, so that if it ever dies and gets resurrected later, people know that I am not talking about a live hamster fixation)

Closest to target - 5 km (Maparto, Mozambique)

Anyone beat this?

Yep - 3km to Bangkok on a 14" monitor and a shaky mouse.

Beware of carpal tunnel syndrome - playing these 22 games over 3-4 days nearly killed my arm.

^^^ or deep vein thrombosis from sitting in your chair all day.

Improving anyway

19 ks from K2 Pakistan How ? Will never know !

Map too small - I was 114 km from Geneva. Probably in the vineyards of France somewhere....

well that's my excuse!!

105 IQ

Shall try again later.

Well on another try i got within 19 klicks to the Hofbrauhaus

24 kms to the Vatican

I only nailed one place perfectly - San Marino! I was 100km from my home town of Dublin!

It's a bit hard to land close to some of the Pacific Islands like Paleu and Easter when they don't even appear on the map.

My biggest miss was by about 12,000 kms. A Norwegian Island that I had never heard of and turned out to be a looong way from Norway.

I think most of us will fail 'bigger' on places that are part of a vast expanse...

Can someone please explain to me how knowing different locations throughout the world has anything to do with IQ?

I was awful at geography at school, I'm not that much better now even after visiting some of the places that came up in that quiz........ that little Q and A session is like pin the tail on the donkey when you have never seen, been to or been told about the donkey.

I think the IQ bit is a sort of joke - as all IQ tests tend to be...
