Silly little facebook app that has caught on face. Tripadvisor put a lot of work into it and deserve some kudos for it.

MillNic Media Blog - The Best CPA network » Blog Archive » Viral Facebook Apps - Can you beat my IQ Score?

Just for kicks, $50 and some link love to who scores highest amongst the wankers here as well as my blog readers and Millnic publishers.

Facebook | Welcome to Facebook!

Word is that most Americans can't find themselves on the world map. From most of the inane shit that floats around here I suspect it may be true.

I made it only $50 so you wouldn't waste your time writing a script to answer the questions for you.

Fun little game - try it out.
 


Damn, this is addicting. I keep getting 92. Canada and Texas are killing me, and it doesn't help that the map is so tiny for the middle east, either.
 
Not addictive at all. Got to level 7 and around 200,000 points and just got annoyed and bored. I missed three badly, the rest were close (the map sucks).

Nice try Tripadvisor.
 
If you aren't into geography and travel this won't float your boat. But if you are then it is fun.

150k or so have added this app to their profile this week alone. Some people like it.

About a dozen have taken the challenge. Best challenger so far is at 370k or so.

I'm into geography and travel (just a little ;) ). I've got about 1,000,000 miles driven under my belt. 48 states and 2 Canadian provinces.

And, it still annoyed me. Not the challenge or the questions, but the map more than anything. It just seemed like some things were way off. I couldn't tell so much on the world stuff, but the US didn't seem to be dead on.

No big deal, I'm prolly just being a nit-picky fuck. :D
 
There are a few places that are waaaaaaaaay off (Glasgow, Scotland being one). Nice game, but if it were accurate I could score much higher. I may give it a go later when I have more time, though.
 
On my 1st try:

Final Score: 186,285
Traveller IQ: 96
Rank Overall: 82,049

I love Geography. Sadly, geography is not respected in America and most Americans probably can't find and name all 7 continents correctly, let alone specific countries on the world map.

BTW, making generalized derogatory statements about Americans is probably not a great way to make friends on Facebook, here or anywhere else. Not all Americans are as obtuse as you may kid yourself into believing. Additionally, your sweeping generalizations about any large group of people, American or otherwise, only serves to encourage the notion that you're not all that bright yourself.

How so? Seemed pretty bang on to me.

Southerners are indeed stupid, though. :D
 
Haha! I've got addicted to this the other day!

112 - Above Average
Rank Among Friends 2 of 6
Rank Overall 43,918 of 137,262
Highest score 361,503

125 to beat eh? Nice waste-of-time-and-learn-something challenge. Won't add you though, keeping facebook for actual friends for now - sorry.

It's Africa that screws me... but learning a lot doing it! The continent specific ones are harder - they don't say what country a place is in.
 
Just got 396,310

I like the small map too, bet it would be a lot easier with a touch screen and stylus - might try on my pda.
