DJT Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I got 8/10 (in about half the time they gave me) and raised our score by 0.003%. I got such countries as Kyrgyzstan and Chad correct, but, damn it, I missed Tuvalu and Guinea-Bissau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Pretty cool game. Played it the daily maximum three times. Random draw can give you some easy ones and some terribly difficult ones so the score can vary a lot. The small African countries and South Pacific Islands can be killers. One time I got a bunch of killers and only scored 5/10 but the next I got mostly European and South American countries and got 8/10. Never heard of Palau before so I obviously got that one wrong. I now know that it is a small island group east of the Phillipines with a population of 20 000. Next time I may just sign in as an American and enter all wrong answers.

DoyleG Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 9/10 Wrong on Vanuatu. Picked Nauru instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canso Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 10/10 then 9/10, clicked on Gabon instead of Equatorial Guinea. To paraphrase Camus, "Everything I know about geography, I learned from soccer!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devioustrevor Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Every single time I play I get 8/10 I keep mixing Togo and Benin up. I also keep clicking on Micronesia every time a Pacific nation is to be located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theglove0 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Yeah, Africa's killing me, too, along with the South Pacific. So far, I've gotten anywhere from 3 to 10, but probably average somewhere around 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Berton Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 "'Holy See' is also what Sid Caesar demanded everyone call him. Right up until a Vietnam USO tour and we beat the holy 'c'-r-a-p out of the poor bugger. I still laugh at the memory of Sid yelling "Uncle! Uncle! with Dean Martin giving him a beatdown with a bullwhip." --- Bob Hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free kick Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Sorry Guys, I brought our score down . A couple of brutal efforts on my first two tries. But but got six out of ten on the last effort. Got to agree about the African and asian nations being a challenge. Can't belive I got Costa Rica wrong. Good thing I didn't go down there to watch our WCQ match. I might have ended up in Nicaragua instead[8D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Well I got my best score ( eight out of ten ) on my fouth try. I represented the vatican city hoping that it would allow me to compete again. This time I got easy questions. Poland, Austria, Albania, Laos, Nicaragua....

theglove0 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Don't worry, keep at it for a few days and you'll be pulling 9's or 10's everytime like I am now. I didn't realise how poor my knowledge of geography was until I couldn't get over 7 at first. A little practice and everything gets easier. I'm glad I can pick out virtually any country on a map now.
