For any Geography nerds out there.

Traveler IQ Challenge (http://www.travelpod.com/traveler-iq)

Give us your high scores and let us know which game you were using (eg. World, Flags, whatever).

My high score on the world map is 572,845. Took me a while to get to know some places in order to reach that one, though.

[Levian]

Damn, you're a wizard :p

got 443,786. Round 11 was quite vicious with all those island questions.

[Loony BoB]

It took many, many attempts to get that score. My work colleague got something like 700,000+ on the Asia map (he travelled around there for some time), and another colleague got 650,000 or so on the world map. He spends ages playing it, though.

[Flying Mullet]

On the world map, I usually end up clicking on the country as I don't know all of the places but the country. xD

[Rantz]

524,038 on the world map!

[Bunny]

I got 155k on the world map because I've never left the country.

[Loony BoB]

Never last the country? :confused:

[Bunny]

You know what I meant.

[Loony BoB]

I do now!

[Yar]

I got about 90,000 points on the North American Map before being slaughtered on the Carribean Islands portion.

[Kirobaito]

I played this last summer, but not since then.

On my first go, I got 551,699 on the world map. I messed up big time on three answers on round 12. Russia and the South Pacific get me.

World Map: 551,699
US Challenge: 130,999 (completed)
World Capital: 332,574
Europe: 92,682
Photos of the World: 124,376
UNESCO: 810,055

[KentaRawr!]

This game makes me realize how much more geography I should know. :(

[Madame Adequate]

I can't beat round 11 :( I do great until then but something always happens and I just fall short of the score.

[Rye]

I don't even know where most of the states in my own country are. Give me a map and I'll always rock the coast states, but the mid-west is one giant blur of corn fields and farms to me. I can't differentiate states there for the life of me.

To be fair, I've never taken a geography class, and any geography got maybe two days per year at most in any History class I've taken.

[Rantz]

I got 256,296 on Africa. Level 6 was a real bitch, I was miles from reaching level 7.

Edit: Level 7, 351,781 at World Capitals. This is a great way to avoid studying.

[Levian]

Haha, I was also slaughtered on Level 6 Africa, but I got 260,967 so ner! :D

[scrumpleberry]

I am probably the worst geographer you will ever meet. Let's see how this goes xD

[rubah]

I got to level 8 on the world, score of 256,319

my worst mistake was thinking Victoria, Canada was nearer the east coast (but I got calgary)

no, I take that back. Mistaking Equatorial Guinea for New Guinea was worst.

Got 76,000 on US. I should've gotten Coeur D'Alene :(

[Momiji]

161,774 on the World Map. I've always sucked at Geography.

[Kirobaito]

586,086. I woulda beaten round 12 had some place belonging to Norway not been near ANTARCTICA.

Also, I just clicked 4 kilometers from Brussels, Belgium. My lowest distance yet!

EDIT: 596,573.

EDIT2: 609,782.

[Yar]

I was asked to find Dildo, Newfoundland.

[Loony BoB]

Yeah, I got 4 as my closest too. Colombo, I think it was, that I got that on.

[Levian]

586,086. I woulda beaten round 12 had some place belonging to Norway not been near ANTARCTICA.

Yeah, they put that in just to be bastards, even I smurfed up on it. What's possibly worse is that it turned up in a Cities round. Jan Mayen is not a city, it's an island. Also, no people live there.

9 km was my closest, from some city in Jordan.

[Momiji]

What's the big idea of making Hawaii so fucking tiny that you can't even see it on the map?

[qwertysaur]

World iQ of 600,000 from first try. :p

Closest is 2 KM from Edinburgh, Got 2 again for West point on the US map :p

[Kirobaito]

629,005 and I finally beat all 12 rounds.

2 KM from some place in Moldova, as well.

[Værn]

Apparently I'm completely incompetent when it comes to geography.

[Madame Adequate]

516,000~ is my highest now and fuck level 11 for taking me that long to beat and fuck level 12 for the complete bollockery of a Norwegian island in the SOUTH ATLANTIC.

[Laddy]

I play ALL the time on Amazing Race Wiki! =p

[Kirobaito]

516,000~ is my highest now and smurf level 11 for taking me that long to beat and smurf level 12 for the complete bollockery of a Norwegian island in the SOUTH ATLANTIC.
You have to be careful, though, because I think there's another Norwegian city that comes up that is actually IN Norway (way up at the northeast tip), so if you don't pay attention to stuff other than the country you end up needlessly locating something in the South Atlantic when it's actually in Scandinavia.

[DarkBahamut]

I knew a lot of them, but I was clicking everywhere and I got 95 IQ on Asia. LOL I lost after the 8th round! :bigsmile:

[qwertysaur]

I get to round 7 of the flags game and get ripped apart there. I don't know any of the Oceania flags :(

[Bowser]

That was really hard. :(

Final Score on World Map: 204, 414. I couldn't advance past the 7th round. :shifty:

My Traveler's IQ is 95. I have no idea if that's good or not.

[LunarWeaver]

I got 12272. It told me I need 12500 to get past level 1.

Terrific. http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i29/LunarWeaver/emot-golfclap.gif

[Rantz]

I just clicked 1 km from Salt Lake City.

[Laddy]

I hate having to click on a random ocean hoping I hit the Midway Islands. =/

[Levian]

got 427,037 on Asia

[Kirobaito]

got 427,037 on Asia
808,380.

Had no idea on a lot of the World Heritage sites on Round 12. =\

[Levian]

Got 708,321 on my second. :p still a 100k behind! And yeah, screw unesco. Also, I don't like how they try to trick you by picking cities that's in the very corner of each country! stupid oman, uzbekistan and china.

Oman and Uzbekistan are small enough where you can still get some points, but in China and Russia you're effed if you don't guess right.

Yeah, me too. xD Had to go by what clues I could get from the names. 742,921.
