Default How's Your Geography?
Just click on where you think the city is and the plane will land there, then it will show where the city actually is!! Good luck !!

I've been managing between 20 and 25K pts. per session. Some of the city names that come up are a HUH? moment.

I barely know US American geography, European is just a crapshoot. Reminded me of my test taking days, I'm still a pretty good guesser.

I had several "HUH?" moments with some of those city names that popped up. My best score, so far, was 24,615.

Yeah, I know - I already said that.

I was just short of 22k but I spent four months in Italy so that's somewhat pathetic.

Done. Waiting for scratches to finalize my tix.

You should be utilizing a slow Tuesday to brush up on your Scavatars. Plenty of material here: http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39976
