June 14, 2005 A European excursion From our unofficial ambassador... While Europe is on the agenda, take a diversion with this European geography quiz [Shockwave file]. Hmm.. According to Paul's own rating system, my 80% result means that, even with an average error of 162 miles - "Mr Euro-Cosmopolitan's in town!" Heh. I got 80% yesterday. Was a bit disappointed how strict they were with my positioning of the Vatican and Belgium!! Posted by: beano; EverythingUlster.com at June 14, 2005 12:48 PM first class little game got an averaged error of 84miles, should without doubt be distributed to local schools... Posted by: glensman at June 14, 2005 12:54 PM 73% first time out. Posted by: maca at June 14, 2005 01:15 PM 54 miles, 84% genius Posted by: Michael Shilliday at June 14, 2005 01:18 PM Average error 136 miles 75% correct Albania was the real killer for me! Posted by: PS at June 14, 2005 01:27 PM w00t I managed to get 91% with an average error of 42 miles but its a very good game. Everyone in our office seems to be playing it now Posted by: David at June 14, 2005 01:45 PM Average error 76 miles. Sorry, Malta Posted by: Cathal at June 14, 2005 01:53 PM 95% (wrong on Belarus and San Marino) and average error of 10 miles. I have watched too much Eurovision! Posted by: Keith M at June 14, 2005 01:55 PM 84% average error 69 miles (apologies san marino) Posted by: fair_deal at June 14, 2005 01:55 PM You beat me Keith but just about! 95% with average error of 14 miles, Hungary was slightly out whereas Moldova (the first one I had to position) was the real killer and even then I wasn't too far away! The joke is I've never studied geography but travel, following international football and international politics can usually improve the anorak! Posted by: Valenciano at June 14, 2005 02:10 PM 77% and 85 miles out. Posted by: Occasional Commentator at June 14, 2005 03:05 PM 82% - not bad for a Euro sceptic me thinks. Posted by: Baluba at June 14, 2005 03:14 PM Mine must be broken - part of Ireland kept sticking to the Briatain map!!! Posted by: KC at June 15, 2005 04:32 PM 91% and 19 miles. They were a bit strict about the exact positioning of the principalities weren't they? Great little diversion! Isn't Cyprus in Europe then? Posted by: GavBelfast at June 15, 2005 07:38 PM KC Classic!
