3. 34/45 76%, avg 132 mi, 282 seconds
not too bad. I only really screwed up the tiny countries, and a couple of the former Yugoslavian republics.

24. DAMN YOU! I got the same score but FOUR seconds slower!
The first country was the Czech Republic. I missed it by 37 miles. I also missed Slovenia by a few miles. Nailed all others.

5. 31/45
Not bad for someone who's never studied European geography. The tiny countries were the ones that usually threw me off.

7. I got 39/45 right
trial 1
39/45
87% correct
avg. error 45 miles
295 secs.

The Eastern European ones were tough cuz I'm shamefully ignorant about that part of the world. And San Marino, for that matter. I'm still not sure where it ended up.

10. I got 31 out of 45
Which is pretty good, I guess. I messed up mostly on the countries that were essentially dots, except for the Vatican. Some of the separated countries of the former Soviet Union were a bit messed in my brain as well. But overall, at least I know where most of Europe is!!

17. Got 38 Right. Average Error 72 Miles
Missed slovenia by the most. I think i was about 120 miles too far west. A couple were cheap wrongs. I missed Lichtenstein, but by only about 60 miles, and the thing is only a dot!

18. 42/45. Not bad for a dumb American.
Misplaced Lichtenstein (wrong side of Switzerland)
Macedonia (I somehow blew up Greece)
and San Marino (wrong side of Italy - that was the only one I really didn't know where it was).

22. It's not hard 96%
My score: 43/45 96% 10 miles error 289 secs

San Marino and Liechtenstein really screwed me up. I put Liechtenstein on the eastern part of Austria instead of the western. D'oh!
