    Eastern Europe done me too, hard to place them exactly on a blank map. Got easier the more countries I put in, like doing a jig saw. Apologies to Estonia, must have been at least 300 miles out with that one. :o

    Couldn't get the countries near Greece right.

    Be interesting to see one of these for the counties in Ireland.
    I wonder would people do better or worse?

    I've done better on this before, it all depends on what countries you get to start with as that can make it easier to slot in some of the harder ones.

    I had a lot of trouble with the little ones. I know androra and monaco, but not san marino, I also got malta wrong :P

    I also think they are wrong about slovakia :D

    never even heard of san marino and the small ones are VERY hard to place on a map of that scale.

    Too embarrassed to post my own score, considering I did a degree in Geography! (and I did a lot of study on Austria/Germany in history, but managed to misplace Austria...)

    Am sure I'd do a lot worse on the counties of Ireland (hangs head in shame!)
