OK I played it - got 10 out of thirteen (bloomin Belgium)

Best answers:

  • I was on 9 out of 9, but only ended up with 10 out of 13 :/
  • 4.
    There's a reason I never took O level geography.
  • i got france and uk right
  • 12/13...
  • 11/13 (a couple lucky/educated guesses tho)
  • At the end of the quiz I was told that I had 12 out of 13, but when I went back to see where the mistake was, I found that all 13 were ticked - much better
  • 10/13 but some were more luck than knowledge.
  • I thought my geography was ok but only got 9
  • I knew watching the Eurovision Song Contest would improve my geography.
  • 13/13 - no sweat.
  • Ouch only 6 out of 13!
  • 13/13 surprised I got them all right, took a guesstimate at a few.
    I guess UKIPpers wouldn't do too well?
  • Some of the outlines weren't that familiar to me because at school the focus was on Western Europe. Plus the fact that a lot has changed in Eastern Europe during that time - if you'd shown me a picture of Yugoslavia or Czechoslovakia I'd have been bang on the money.
  • 5/13 oops! I should have got a couple right that I got wrong though.
  • 11 out of 13 - Turkey and Serbia let me down (at that scale, Turkey looks like Russia and Serbia looks like Portugal to me)
  • 9 out of 13, a few lucky guesses
  • 12 out of 13. How could I get Finland wrong?!!
    What happened to the 'banging my head' smiley?
  • 13/13 but some of them were by a process of elimination rather than knowing what country was represented. Finland being one of those. It was so small!
  • All, though I did take a bit of time about one or two
    I wonder how much trickier it would be if they rotated some so they weren't all north upwards
