World Travelers' Quiz! I'm embarrassed as to how poorly I did on anything African.
Oh yeah, I was addicted to this for a while (via a facebook app). Didn't stop until I was better than all of my friends.

Wow, Russia's a lot bigger than than I remember it.

In communist Russia, World Traveler Quiz finds you!

Ha! The city I went to visit this summer (Tallinn, Estonia) was in the "Very Hard" category.

I was worst on Africa (although I knew some that I have specifically paid attention to for various reasons in the past), and the middle east.

A bigger map would be nice.

I got "held back" on level 10. It's like I know where stuff is but the time element makes me do poorly.

(psst... the only test I ever failed in high school (and by "failed", I mean "19 out of 100") was African Geography, so don't feel to bad.

How addictively fun!

I agree with mischief - in many cases I was straining just to see borderlines. And a couple questions about Caribbean islands....? Just clicking in the blue. Couldn't see 'em at all.

Still, quite cool. I couldn't break a score of 92, level 6, which means I didn't get past "Medium." But it was good practice, and also an excellent reminder of how big this world is.

This was a lot of fun, and I agree with everyone who said they wished there was a larger map.

This reminds me that I haven't done any of the National Geographic quizzes like this in quite a while, and I'm off to waste some time doing that rather than wrapping Christmas presents to be mailed! :)

I didn't notice at first, but there are a whole bunch of other quizzes right there on the same page:

Flags of the World
Photos of the World
Unesco Sites
World Capitals

Not to mention that they also have the individual continents as quizzes, too.
