I shall return!

Who the hell knows where some obscure town in Burkino Faso is anyway.

Level ten and they kicked me out. Damn.

Hell. IQ only 115 but I finks this relates more to the speed of the mouse than the actual knowledge.

Maybe I got a slow connection at the cafe here, eh.

Re: Play the Traveller IQ Challenge

Well, I have been hammering it on Facebook for some weeks now....I'm going to sticky this as it took a bit of effort learning how to embed this into a forum page, and I don't want it getting lost amongst the "Spank me with greens" threads.

Speed is a factor but not as much as accuracy is.

Re: Play the Traveller IQ Challenge

Get to level 11 and it's those obscure locations in Russia, especially the Eastern-most parts.

Then level 12 you get some really random ones like some Islands belonging to Norway....except they are just north of the South Pole...and fucking Greenland...who knows where anything is there!

I've just done a quick calculation, taking into account how the "sticky" mouse in the internet cafe would have affected my score. Took a little extrapolating and the application of some advanced statistical methodology but when all is said and done I figure my IQ score comes to 137.

So perhaps we have a new champion here.

Anyway, indeed very addictive.

Re: Play the Traveller IQ Challenge

It's kind of curious how they identify Taiwan.

Taiwan (Province of China). What's up with that?

Also I'm unsure of the accuracy, some locations don't seem to be that close to where the're actually at. I sense that there using something other than a standard mercator projection, but may be wrong. Amman, Jordon they seem to have right on the Mediterranean. Beijing appear to be very close to Shanghai, much moreso than it actually is.

Still interesting, but one of those games where practice makes perfect.

Good fun though, I'll give it a few goes tonight.

488,795 on level 12. Not bad, would have been a bit better but for some reason I confused Sri Lanka with Madagascar.

4 kilometres from Brussels. More by luck than judgement of course.

The furthest I got away was about 15k kilometres because I stuck some Indian Ocean Island in the Pacific.

I reckon they're sticking Copenhagen in Sweden myself but it could be my eyes failing due to the fact of the number of years I've spent masturbating.

Re: Play the Traveller IQ Challenge

This game's the only reason I haven't cancelled my facebook account, although now it's on ajarn. I may just do that.

My highest score is 567,919.

LDMA, you should try to link the game to an ajarn league somehow, god knows how, but you could probably do it.
