Speaking of geometry...er, geography, has anyone ever see Al Franken do his map trick. I remember him doing it years ago on SNL. I've always found it impressive.

I wish that I could full screen the map so that I could have a little more precision with my clicks.

That was pretty neat. Good strategy to do each state individually by matching up their borders. I think most people would try to draw the perimeter of the country and then try to carve out each state, probably with terrible results.

Level 7 215,808 but that is because I'm an idiot and chose Australia when they said Austria. Damn reading comprehension!

I was much better at this in sixth grade.

I blame the other countries for failing to be at war with us frequently enough.

I can't seem to get past Level 10.

Places that sound like they're in Spain/Portugal are in South America. Places that sound like they're in the South Pacific are in sub-Saharan Africa, Guinea is nowhere near New Guinea, and Fenway Park isn't in Chicago...d'oh!

Kinda hard to nail things when the countries are small as hell.
