try the advanced version. it's quite a bit better. more city variety and all.

4172 on the first round. Tokyo, Beruit, and Panama City helped.

I average about 4,100. I just can't crack the 5,000 mark, Africa and Central America keep fucking me in the ass :c

i can't get Geosense to work on this machine, here are some good alternatives though;

County Count Up (for UK peeps) http://www.mousebreaker.com/games/count ... p/play.php

Geogenius (for US peeps)

have a go!

We just got a new shower curtain with a map of the world on it. I was 20 minutes late to work today and my feet and fingers were prunes because I was amazed at how huge Greenland is.

I'm generally hitting in the mid-4s. Sometimes as low as the 3s, occasionally as high as the low 9s. I got one above 10k, but that was against somebody, so I don't know if it counts the same. Great fun!

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

Yeah - because this bad boy* would make one hell of a leaky shower curtain:


* Interrupted Goode Homolosine Projection

I did some keeping track on the world map. I guess the high scores I was bragging about must have been on the US map. Here are some data:

Rounds played: 33
Mean score: 5023.42

Record: 6406 (avg. distance off: 200 km)

Bullseyes: Taipei, Fez, Cleveland, Yerevan, Tel Aviv, Winnipeg, Manila, Wellington, Halifax

Wrong Continents: Cayenne

Score-ruiningest countries:
1. Russia
2. Indonesia
3. Brazil

Most embarrassing repeated screw-ups:
1. Spain for France
2. Iran for Iraq
3. Colombia for Venezuela and vice versa

Okay, question: How do you play 20 rounds at once? I notice big bragger vockins is playing sets of 20 rounds! My record of 6406 is only 10 rounds - a per-round average of 640.6! Okay!
