1. You kicked MY ass, Lynne...
Edited on Thu Oct-09-03 04:55 PM by Richardo
I only got a 67 of 87 on the Middle East quiz - which is embarrassing since I <edit: used to> consider myself pretty good at geography.

2. I started, but there were too many popups
After 3 questions, I had to kill about 6 or 7 popup ads. :puke:

Also, it seems a bit out of date: Stapleton hasn't been Denver's airport in nearly a decade.

Oh well.

Congrats, LynneSin!

3. They go away after the 5th question
The flags kill me - especially those in foreign countries!!

5. Yeah. What do flags have to do with geography/maps anyway?
Too bad I had to quit because I got Paraguay's flag correct in a wild guess. I'm not likely to be so lucky next time.

8. Paraguay's flag is easy
Because it has the word 'Paraguay' on it.

You can even see it when you do the quiz

12. I guess I have bad screen resolution
I couldn't read the text on the flag.

:shrug:

15. Ha! I came, I clicked, I smited...
Got in just above your first try (I';m #12 and you're #13) with a score of 370 - three of the five I got wrong were flags (used to know them all, dammit). The last error was just a too-eager click, unfortunately - I knew that Nairobi, not Mombasa, was the capital of Kenya. :-(

Just as well, 'cos I've got to go somewhere and I thought I'd never finish that quiz. :-)

Looks like your second try got you even higher - have fun! :loveya:

21. Nowhere near, and I only got as far as I did due to lollipop questions

30. Not so good at flags of Africa
Edited on Thu Oct-09-03 10:52 PM by Ramsey
I knew all the questions pretty much about geography and capitals and such. But which random African nation flag is this? Nope, not so good in that category.

31. I have triumphed! Fourth place.
For today, so far, anyway, with 750 points.

Lost one 'life' through bogusity, though - for the answers to 'capital of New Hampshire' Concord came up twice - if you clicked on the wrong one, as I did, you got a 'try' taken away. :-(

The Concord thing. Did you pick the first one, too, or does the "correct" answer change?
