Americans Better at Geography than Some Thought
CNN has a story about how Americans don't know geography very well, and had a quiz for people. I got all the questions right, but double clicked one of the answers or something, and got this amusing conclusion from CNN.com:
"You got 7 out of 6 correct on your first attempt.On the bright side, you're solidly in the mainstream."

I got all six correctly and was greeted with this message:
You got 6 out of 6 correct on your first attempt.
Excellent work! You must read the atlas in your spare time.
I had to identify New York state, Louisiana, Ireland, Iran, Turkey and Germany. Surprisingly, I do not spend my free time looking at an atlas.
Ha! Beat ya by one (6-5-4)! There were some hard ones on the last levels. If it weren't for process of elimination I would have been in real trouble.
Didn't even realize there was a second and third level first time through. Anyway, I scored 6-6-4 which I attribute to my following of international soccer more than anything else. You get familiar with some pretty oscure places like Kyrgystan when following the World Cup qualifiers.
I got smoked on the second level, I scored 3 for 6 but rebounded with a solid 5-6 on the advanced level.
So 6-3-5, I'll take it.
