    After the success of the science quiz, I have another one for you, where in the world are you?

    Random places from around the planet, you have to guess where you are from the google streetview images.

    You need to "drive" around to get clues as to the place.

    I scored 10,999 (not sure how good that is) but it's the score to beat. :P

    Found it cumbersome and boring and more of a test of 'find a sign' rather than geographical knowledge.

    546

    I was clicking on the map thinking it would open up, didn't realise that was the actual guess.:(

    I put them all in Antartica.

    I think that the fewer km away from the target the better your guess.
    The score is the total kilometers away the correct locations.

    Ah, but of course. That would make sense :o I've had 1 or 2 :D
