    TO be fair if you asked for the US states I think you'd find an equal number of non-US citizens struggle with the less well known ones too

    31/44 (70%) in 516 seconds. Av. error: 315 miles.
    i was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came. all the billion other moments, were just slipping all away. i must have been tripping, we're just slipping all away. just ego tripping.

    This game isn't very well set-up. It can be different depending on which order stuff pops up in. I think they should also give a little more leeway. I don't think many Europeans would get an "A" grade on this one.

    You'd be surprised e-n.
    Remember all our media - tv, papers, magazines including teenage-focussed items - covers the different nations of Europe very well.
    In general Eureopans are better educated and up-to-date on international matters than US equivalents.
    We also travel aborad MUCH more than US folks do.
    Lots of folsk will have been to at least 3-4 of the countries and many will have been to half the countries !!!!
    Of course in 100 years from now when it's the United States of Europe we'll probably be just as myopic

    I realise that you are very knowlegdable of all these countries, but I'd be quite surprised if most Europeans god, say, an 85%+ score on this particular quiz. I absolutely agree that "In general Eureopans are better educated and up-to-date on international matters than US equivalents.", but this doesn't necessarily make it easier for the average person to pinpoint a landlocked country's location exactly in this game, unless they got lucky and got all the "easy" countries first

    So basically what I am saying is that I'd be shocked (and highly impressed) if the average European could get 85%+ on a game like this one:
