Oh boy, I'm hooked now... Now I know all the US state capitols in less than two minutes...
A great way of learning geography facts. Similar systems should be used more for teaching hard facts in schools..... See more My result: 42 out of 45 - average error: 14 miles.

A lot depends on the order in which you get your countries. If you get Andorra before Spain and France, for example, it's quite hard to pinpoint its exact location. Likewise for the other small states.
It's also hard to get the right locations for landlocked countries if their neighbours are not yet in place.
cheers,
Pawel Skalinski
p.s. Now, the US states and their capitals, that's a challenge!
