Oh very well, Orange, if you insist.

Like I said earlier, I'm not impressed by the quality of this test, but here are the results it's given me so far:

Asia: 80-84
Canada: 34-39
USA: 150-150
Mideast: 86-87 (No, I don't the UK is in the Middle East... )
Central America: 41/42 (Scr*wed over on Uruguay after clicking on it three times... )
Africa: scr*wed me over on Rwanda...
Europe: Again, scr*wed over on Slovenia...
Obviously not gonna' bother with the other tests...

I scored pretty well in the geography. Not as good as I should of though as I have forgotten some names of countries...

But... umm... I flirt with every gay/bi guy at apolyton... don't you know that by now?

You weren't too shabby yourself, orange.

One thing I've learned from this: Now I know how little I know about Caribbean geography. Had to rely heavily on "intuition", and it still wasn't enough.

That was really easy. Although I admit I screwed up New Hampshire and Vermont. I have never been up there.

I travel a lot, and I'm really good with map. I'm also a big hiker.

My U.S. score 146 out of 150 (I missed both NH and VT because I forgot which one I picked the previous time)

24 out of 39 on Canada. It's hard doing well on places I have not been. I should do really well on Europe and the Middle east as I have been to both places extensively.

77 out of 114 on Europe. I'm still used to having the USSR around. I could not remember many former USSR and Yugoslavia countries . When I was in still school those countries were big and still there.

72 out of 87 on the middle east

edit: 32 out of 39 on S. America

79 out of 84 on Asia

33 out of 33 on the World (continents and Oceans)

But I could get every Australian state correct (yep, all 7 of them)

The quiz contains certain blatant imprecisions. E.g. it places the Kuril Islands with Japan. Also, it places Russia totally in Asia.

Got spare money?

As most of you, I did very weel on all but the Caribeans...
I dont think thats very important though.
I knew all thsoe islands were in the Caribeans, and I knew the big ones (Cuba, haiti, dom rep, jamaica and puerto rico, even curacao from playing pirates in the good ol days) but identyfing the exact island is even less important than knowing the 4 big islands of japan for example even though they are independent. Thats whats ez to forget, as someone pointed out, the republics of russia, the big states of US (California, Texas), even regions of China or maybe Brazil are way more important worldwide than St Kitts & Nevis (spelling?)...

You couldn't get perfect for the World quiz, because there's one "undefined" question you couldn't possibly get right

My scores:

Africa 116/147
Asia All
Canada All
Carribean 25/72 ( I suck)
Central America 38/42
Europe 110/114
Middle East 83/87

Agreed. They could have completely skip that and nobody's going to miss a thing.

Like usual, the Aussies and New Zealanders are skipped, though I am sure they are more important than those tiny dots.
