40/45

You misplace the thing a little and it counts it wrong

As if people ever go to war if a boundray is a little off or something

tell me about it like I didn't know where the hell Greece is. They should specify to place exactly on location, gotta love the Vatican City one, didn't even show a dot on the map of Italy, just drop it on Italia.:tongue:

Hmm Yoepus, let me draw your attention to Eritrea and Ethiopia (Border a geographer's nightmare) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/special_...horn/396571.stm

Then yet again those two fought over everything under the sun.

w00h00 i got 40/45...i think it's a nice score for the first time as most little places, it was almost impossible to put. I guess....if u get the smaller countries first, u have less chances to have a good score...they should let us pick the ones we want...

Posted by metalgearsolid on Jul-24-2005 02:37:

hey man i got a 42/45 the first time i was just upset because i didnt put turkey, spain, UK in the EXACT spot. They were on it just a little piece was missing and they marked it wrong.

Posted by kaffeemeister on Jul-24-2005 08:28:

Got 42/45 only screwed up on those countries that are soo small, that they shouldn't even exist namely Liechtenstein, Luxemboury and San Marino

I did fairly well

43/45 with 8 mile avg error in 158 secs.

I missed Slovakia and Liechtenstein early on in the piece, and obviously not by much

I'm gonna go off and try and get 45/45 in under a minute

I got 35 correct, with most of the errors being caused by the requirements on accuracy which the page requests. If the exercise had been to identify the names of countries on the map, I'd reckon I would get all of them right. But I did totally misplace Moldavia, thinking it part of old Yugoslavia for some reason.
