That was fun. Level 10 for me.

I got level 10 also. It's getting pretty hard at that point.

No problem getting to level 12. But achieving 60,000 points in it is a matter of accuracy and speed.

My accuracy problem is that the resolution of my screen is very high and the map appears somewhat small. I do not see Palau, Mauritius and the Marquesas islands, for example. I just point in the general direction. As far as cities, I am always within 200 to 300 Km.

My speed suffers in level 12 because although I am ambidextrous, I am slower with the left hand, which is the one I use in my main machine. I will try with a lower resolution laptop and a right hand pointing device.

-------------

Tried again and finished level 12 barely above with 60,902 points. You get a message saying: Hey, are you still there? They give you your total score and your traveler IQ.

The total score was 589,193. What is a traveler IQ of 134? :hmm:

In case anyone missed it, there are links below the map to try out Europe, Africa, North America etc. specific maps (and they zoom in so that islands are visible).

Once I build my African geographical vocabulary a bit, I'll get back to the main quiz.
