YH’s score on the Travel IQ test

Take the Travelpod Traveler IQ Challenge! On my first try Level 10 killed me. I made some dumb mistakes and think I could have passed if I weren’t in such a rush. I am sure you can do better. I think Curzon would rule at this.

I tried that a number of times but I could never clear level 12.

I can’t get past level 12 after two tries – I made the same dumb mistake of putting Jayapura in Java not Papua.

The map is way too small. Its pretty easy, but I cant pinpoint cities as well as I’d like.

Damn, that thing’s addictive.

Got to 11…I can’t make out a whole lot of the, oh, Antilles, Levant, NW euro…Balkins…and where are the “small” islands on that map?

first time only reached 11th, 500k points, IQ127

3rd time better, level 12, just over 600k. IQ136

this is a fun game, but map is too small.

Fun game, although you can click almost anywhere in Europe and get a high score for euro cities. Russia, on the other hand …

Addictive. 1st try – 582,254 (midway through level 12), giving me a 134 score. Russia, Australia and Canada are tough, because of the large blank spaces, and the projection makes the pacific islands pretty hard to pinpoint. If there were some rivers/lakes/mountains (for example lake Winnipeg!) shown in the larger countries I would have had a higher score.

I challenged Curzon to this a couple of months ago. No response. Is the Viceroy hiding something? A slow mouse hand, perhaps?
