Does this really proves how smart you are?

No, it tells how well you know your geography. Nobody has said otherwise.

Level 6.

The hardest part is the time. Five seconds to think about it leads to stupid mistakes like hitting Africa instead of South America, when you actually know the answer.

Also stupid is the distance thing, coupled with (as mentioned before) the size of the map. Just clicking on Greece ought to be enough, without having to actually see where Athens is.

similar on the second one, with IQ 126 :hmm:

:rotfl: :up:

My first try.

Final score:475,892
Final level:11
Your Traveler IQ:123

I got 49 907 points on the 11 level and you need 55 000 for the next,
what did you get?

I actually forgot about the points, but I think I had closer to 48000, so I'm guessing you'd be a little ahead.

On my 3rd and 4th tries I'm getting closer to 130s and level 12, but I think by then these things start to repeat and it gets a bit unfair :p

Agreed....it would also have helped me if I hadn't been drinking http://imgcash4.imageshack.us/img231...ngover2ug2.gif

First try...Level 10 with 111.

Level 7 with IQ of 98 on the Oceania one. It's pretty damn hard when it comes to cities in south east asia as I know the nations and major cities but it gets a bit ridiculous. It's like me asking anyone not from Australia to point Nathalia or Sheparton on a map... not going to happen!

After seeing the size of the map I decided to pass and not wast my time on something as silly as that.

Yup, I gave up on level tree or four after missing everything for >100km. The size of the map is ridiculous on a "22 screen. Just give me a list of all the locations and I'll play by myself with a huge world map. Then the distance and accuracy really count, as you're not just missing because you can't really see where you're clicking, you're missing because you really don't know it accurately enough.

First try:

542,756 pts
Level: 12
Trav. IQ: 130


The phone rang while doing it, and too slow to find out about a pause button, so I expect to be better the next time... However, this is time consuming...
