Geography Quiz time: I expect perfect scores - The United States
I mean, we're intelligent progressive thinkers - you better all score a 150 like I did on this geography quiz. After all, we're not republicans!

3. It said I clicked on CT, when I clicked on RI.
So, 149/150. Stupid quiz.

Michigan is a nice BIG state, out in the middle of the Great Lakes. It is very easy to find on a map.

24. Well, I got 149 out of 150
When I went to hit Rhode Island, apparently the pointer was still somewhere over Connecticut. But I DO know the difference between the two.
We gotta get some bigger states. At least Delaware-sized or larger.

It is now 29 days, 22 hours and 16 minutes to FUNDAY. Everyone is invited, no matter what you scored on this test.

35. Done! That was easy...
no Guam, Northern Marianas, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, or New Texas (formerly Iraq)! (We actually have branch offices in the first two; that New Texas contract looks tempting, too, what with all the people on both sides who've just acquired disabilities there :-) )

36. Horrible, horrible
Edited on Thu May-20-04 02:12 PM by JCCyC
I gave up. BOTH the flyover states and those teeny tiny East coast ones stump me. I had to go get a perfect score in Europe to cheer me up.

On edit: Middle East 78/87. Ex-Soviet contries = tricky. And where the hell is Djibouti???

Question #1: Where is Mississippi?. No, that's Alabama, try again.

If that's the only confusion in my map of the US, I'll live with it. (Ok. I should have taken 1/2 a second to think which of the two was next to the river, sue me.)

38. 150, but
I know I won't do as well on the Europe map, as the USSR split into so many countries since I studied geography in school.

But that's ok, because a site like this is a great place to get to know where all those countries are. Thanks! :hi:

One of those was a problem with Rhode Island, which I know pretty damn well - lived there for long enough.

The other ones that I didn't get right off the bat were Nebraska, Arkansas, Colorado (clicked Wyoming first), and Iowa. Did the East and West coasts just fine... what's that tell you?

:D
