If you knew Europe , like I know Europe....

Remember awhile back there was a test where you had to drag the states to their EXACT position on the US map? I did pretty good.
Well, here's your chance to drag European Countries to there proper position.
I only got 67% on my first shot.

Yeah we'll any fool can do England, France, Spain and Germany but lets see you place Andora, Vatican City, Lichtenstein, Malta and all those newbie countries EXACTLY where they go.

elSicomoro · 07-28-2005, 08:49 PM

I got 89%...I was close, but not close enough on Belarus, Macedonia, Slovenia, Bosnia and San Marino.

melidasaur · 07-28-2005, 09:27 PM

I got 76% but i think it really depends on what order you get them in... had Switzerland and Austria been on the map, I would have gotten Liechtenstein... had Belgium been on the map I could have gotten Luxemborg. I had a general idea of where the places were, but it wasn't good enough.

Clodfobble · 07-28-2005, 09:32 PM

I got 59%, and that's about 30% better than I expected to do. I suck so hard at geography.

07-28-2005, 10:13 PM

77% European geography was a lot easier back when I was in school. Everything was either France, Germany, Italy, or the USSR!

Queen of the Ryche · 07-28-2005, 10:48 PM

53%. But bring on the US and the capitals.........

BigV · 07-29-2005, 10:27 AM

82%, avg error 62 miles. cool.

Silent · 07-29-2005, 11:11 AM

91%

Stupid Liechtenstein. Stupid San Marino. They aren't real countries.

Slovenia and Belarus I should have gotten.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-30-2005, 12:47 PM

Gave it another shot for 73%. It's a lot easier once some key countries are in place.

elSicomoro · 07-30-2005, 12:55 PM

I got 91% this time, missing Luxembourg, Slovenia, Belgium and the Vatican.

[Cliff Clavin]I'll give you Liechtenstein (their Prince threatened to leave the country if he wasn't given more power not too long ago), but San Marino is the oldest republic in the world. Most other countries are babies compared to it, even though it's 1/3 the size of Washington, DC.[/Cliff Clavin]

mrnoodle · 07-30-2005, 01:03 PM

not even close. gave up after about 7 former soviet republics in a row right at the beginning.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-30-2005, 08:45 PM

Third and final try 87% but my finger slipped off the mouse on Ireland. I did however figure out why I have so much trouble with the "new" countries....I don't care. When I learned the "old" countries there was a test later on but not any more.

Urbane Guerrilla · 08-01-2005, 01:40 AM

84%, avg error 28 mi.

Queen of the Ryche · 08-01-2005, 12:27 PM

Mulligan: second try, 89%, 26 mi.
