    How's your geography? Take this little test to find out.

    The concept is simple: you are presented with a series of increasingly obscure locations around the world and your task is to pinpoint them on the world map. The closer you are...well you get the idea.

    Pretty good, I'd say.
    But to get a more accurate number it would be better to take multiple tests and average the results. Which I will not do.

    110, though it should have said Democratic republic of the Congo instead.

    I was nailing everything until it came to sub saharan africa, and then the random middle of the ocean islands that i'd never heard of. Also the map was too small so I couldn't even really make out some of europe. Pretty cool though, I remember taking this a long time ago but leaving before my final score

    I wish the map was bigger. What really got me is when they started asking about countries in the middle of Africa and then the little random islands in the middle of the ocean.

    Wow the later ones are real hard and the map is a bit too small to mark something as small as Uganda or Swaziland.

    Got a 91... FROM MY PHONE. Touch screen brutalizes the pinpoint clicking, and for the first few my pinch-zoom counted as a click.
