I dunno. I like the Place the State game. Start out on intermediate. My first try, I got a 92% correct with a 9 mile margin of error. It is harder than it looks. And if after you master that bad-boy & you are feeling rather cocky... try Africa - It is totally impossible. Hell, Europe was a bitch, and I teach its history four times a day...god damn Malta...

So education actually can be fun. I haven't been crouching in the fetal position rocking ever-so-slightly in vain all these years after all. I can't wait to stump all the fam-damnily at Thanksgiving with these things. I'll look like a freakin' genius to them first-timers.

no way, i was on the beginner. The advanced is a bitch, although, i thought i did pretty good for not being a geeky social studies teacher.

94% which is a shocker bc I often get made fun of for having the "nothing between NY and California except for maybe chicago" mentality

Jesus. I got 53% on Africa on Expert in 196 seconds. I was damn close on a lot but with no lines it's not real forgiving. I did nail Djibouti and Eritrea, however.
