Test your knowledge of European geography

The link to the test is here.  My results are at right, and when you beat them you are welcome to announce the fact in the Comments. 

I took the test three times and noted that the degree of difficulty depended (for me) on the order in which the countries were presented - especially for the Balkans.

If you cruised through European geography, try this much more difficult test.

  1. Woo-hoo! Perfect score on both tests!

  2. The "much more difficult test" was a lot easier for me than Europe. The Europe one told me I got Russia wrong because I placed it slightly offset from the actual borders. Grrr...

    1. Russia should be trivial due to the tiny bit of Russia that's located to the west of Belarus.

  3. 83% for me - you're obviously better @ geography than I. (salute)

  4. 100%, 0 miles error, 169 seconds. I guess being European is a form of cheating.

  5. I scored 80 percent, but I feel even less clever than that score would indicate. The more countries you get right, the more the test becomes a simple puzzle--find the Bosnia-shaped hole--and less a true test of your knowledge of European geography. If the countries you get right disappeared after you placed them, this would be harder.

    1. That's what happens on "level 4" after you get 90% on level three. No shapes at all.

  6. Try level six; the countries disappear, which should be exactly what you are looking for.

    Here it is.

  7. It is true, the order in which you are presented makes a fair difference. I got Andorra first up :-X
