QuoteI think there should be a time limit. I got 10,988 with no more than 1 minute per location.

I certainly didn't get that score with 1 minute per location. I poked around a fair while. One minute wouldn't be very long, you might France or Spain say, but would not have a region.

QuoteBoy, in places Australia looks like Texas.

I knew it was Australia, but still 1000km out!

QuoteHow did you offer a challenge?

There is a challenge URL at the end of the game, I just copied this into tinyurl.

Don't mock my ignorance, but what's "tinyurl"? I find the abacus hard. Can you challenge particular people? I want to have a go at my wife (there I go again, O'N & TB).

Actually, I may have it.

tinyurl.com is a way of translating a long URL to a... tiny one.

Handy for those who cant cut and paste, or use the editor

I managed 27,000 without checking offline, just looking at the inset map.

Good man Deeler, if you got that without other research fair douze to you. I picked the wrong road at the Czech border, the road I picked was a lot wider. I was well out in Australia. Places in outer Alaska/BrazilAustralia are hard to locate precisely!

Very small URL indeed

Orior, you certainly do obscure places. I did beat your score, as I recognised Estonia and it isn't that big so my guess wasn't too far way, but the American locations were pretty hard to get.

OK, lads and lassies, using Google I score 32145 on this one. Anyone want to have a go?

9,500 points and no googling.

Did that guy in the fourth picture have a Tyrone jersy on?
