soylasagna, giving me a run for my money! Salut! Some very near matches, but overall I think I am a bit less accurate. But if I study up on Canada, Australia, and China - LOOK OUT.
Noticed some more bugs - at the end of the last round it briefly will flash the one that will be first in the next upcoming round - so if you're good and you can bullseye that sucker in 0 secs - you got some cheesy points.
Also - at least twice that shit was really way off - something in Pennsylvania, the yellow dot claimed was way off in Minnesota - not even close - and another supposed Arkansas ended up on the Mexican border somehow...
As others have said - way too many repeats, even in advanced mode.
And so many times it does two UK cities in a row... so I always lose seconds on the second one, because I don't notice that it has changed right away (urg.)
But because of the speed that you have to operate under, I don't think I am actually learning like I should - how many times am I going to completely miss Whitehorse, Canada or not find the countries of Eritrea, Togo, Gabon, etc. - AUGH. Damn game. AUGH.

You looked it up.
No, Lemuel. Electrons learns.

4252 second time.
Shitty score the first time. Under 2000. Too much Africa and C. Am.

it's the Mercator Projection skewing stuff (globe stretched on a flat piece of paper). Greenland is 1/8th the size of South America.

I was sleepy.

Linus-
Beat by 47 points is so weak. Maybe I farted while clicking and my mouse moved two microns or something. Didn't bother you any. You put that shit in your signature.
Beat by over 700 points, though, that's getting your ass blown out.
Your ass, Linus, is now blown out. Blown right the fuck out.
Don't feel too bad. Tom and kerble's asses are orbiting the goddamn moon or something.
I got a new signature for you, Linus. I'll separate it from the rest of the text so it's easier for you to cut and paste.
Second Place = First Loser
