Where In The World?
Confess! Even if you are at your computer, you're not doing anything productive this afternoon.
Therefore, I present for your consideration the Traveler IQ Challenge. You simply use your mouse to click the (unlabeled) map of the world at the spots indicated. Points are awarded based on accuracy and speed.
I got as far as Level 10 and would have made it further except for some embarrassing bad guesses about African countries and obscure islands. My grand total score was 367,434 and my Travel IQ was 111.
Yips! to Dave Barry.
UPDATE: It seems you can take the test more than once with different questions. Got to Level 10 again, but an IQ of 114 and a score of 392, 598. I might have done better if I hadn't been talking to a Llama-ette on the phone, or if I could finally convince myself that Suriname is indeed a country in South America.
So what are you waiting for? Taken the test already? Do it again!

Traveler IQ: 114
Just can't get past that level 10. I admit when it comes to sub-saharan Africa I completely blank out.
