Anywhere?

In the "Annoyed" thread NorthernGent asked why help a country that most people couldn't find on a map. That piqued my curiousity.

We talk about world politics, but do we know where the countries are located?

Good Luck (I know I'm going to need it!)!

I struggled a bit Hlen. I answered England, Scotland and France to all of 'em, so totalled somewhere around zero points.

It asked me where egypt was for fucks sake.

Yer all fukin wrong... TrollTopia is elusive and only the true believer can find it.

Which reminds me... Ron, I got the paint ball guns, how is the crop maze coming for the game of "Run subby Run"?



hlen5 -> RE: Where in Africa Is....... (2/25/2011 2:44:33 PM)

So what did you get score-wise? Out of 162 I got an abysmal 62.

Bigger and better, it has been refitted with special events for the winners and losers and renamed 'Children of the Cornhole'

107. I knew there was something up with the map, didn't realise what until it asked for 'western sahara'.

What do you mean?



Arpig -> RE: Where in Africa Is....... (2/25/2011 2:55:11 PM)

149...I am somewhat disappointed actually.



DCWoody -> RE: Where in Africa Is....... (2/25/2011 3:09:01 PM)

Western Sahara is fairly unrecognised, like Somaliland or Ossetia. It isn't on 'standard' maps.

Scored a 107 myself, surprised I did as well as that.  Reading all those Clive Cussler novels set in Africa has apparently paid off.

Try the Middle East quiz, that one is a bugger.



Arpig -> RE: Where in Africa Is....... (2/25/2011 8:48:42 PM)

75 out of 75 on the mideast one...but I have always loved maps



Hippiekinkster -> RE: Where in Africa Is....... (2/25/2011 8:51:15 PM)

150. I collected stamps as a kid. I also had a set of the World Book Encyclopedia. I liked to read about where the stamps were from. Sometomes I would send off to embassies for stuff. That's how I got a copy of The Little Red Book when I was 14 or 15.

Try the Mexico map. 86 out of 96. I missed Tlaxcala 'cause my mouse wasn't positioned right. Hell, how many Amis could name all the provinces of Canada? Or even all the states?

My education on the Middle East, appears to be of of date, the normal age old countries I know, but not the newer stuff from the break up of the USSR. Similarly, Africa, North Africa, East, central and South I know, but the West coast has always been a problem for me. Mind, my atlas when I was young, was an old British Empire atlas where two thirds of the world were part of the British Empire. The Middle East, I always used to read anything on the Middle East, Arabia etc, as the place always fascinated me. One book by Hammond Innes, I actually found in the country what he mentioned in his book, so his research was very good.
