Cool little flash toy/game

Test your "Traveler IQ" by seeing how quickly and accurately you can find various cities and pieces of geography and such.

They have different variations on the game at the link above. One of the more interesting ones shows you pictures of a place, building, whatever - and then you have to find it on a map. I've embedded the basic world geography version below.

this is fun!

I dunno, I didn't write down the detailed scores. But my "IQ" was a 91 for the world geography and 92 for the picture placement one - so not so great. ;)

It is surprisingly fun, considering how bad I am at geography and how much I used to hate it in school. Games like that and I might've actually been ok. :)

this was the final score. i only made it to level 10. the thing is, each time you take the test, you're bound to improve.

Yup, I know what you mean, I just didn't bother writing down the final score. I did the world one once, and got a 91 IQ (you got 111 you said) and I did the other one, and got a 92. I only remember the IQ numbers, the other numbers were big 6 digit numbers and too hard to remember. ;)

I was thinking I might actually spend some time practicing - it's actually enjoyable, and might help me sound less ignorant in the future. ;)
