Title: Geography Olympics
Post by: Gambler on September 19, 2004, 09:51:04 am

How well do you know the world?  Can you find the newest countries or the oldest countries around on the map?  Take the Geography Olympics (http://www.geographyolympics.com/challenge.php) and find out.  Represent your country!  Right now the US and Canada SUCK!

Wow, first try I got really low, than I got a 70% and finally a 100%.  It's luck of the draw.  They ask about really small nations.  I found the trick to be speed through all the questions and answer the ones you know, and then go back and try to figure out the others.  Much better than the average for my nation, it was at 49%!

I only did it once so far.  Got a 30%.  Of course I ended up with Lichtenstein, Armenia, Tajikistan and a few other little countries.

100%, 90%, 100%--I've increased the US's score by 0.02%  :)

 Thank goodness my Alien has a world map next to the desk (To track my progress during deployments) for me to double check my answers with.
