33/44 with an average error of 158 miles. I'm still reeling from successfully getting Belarus in the right place with no help!

75% - but found it really hard. Some I only got because of the shapes of the countries and the spaces remaining.

29/44 but I gave up geography when I was 14 so I wasn't surprised at that, average error was 202 miles which I thought was OK, I got everything in roughly the right place!

You don't have to be exactly right hula, just close - within the range of the box they're in I think.

Aha, just did it again, this time I got several little landlocked ones first and only scored 38 - 86%. (Also managed to misplace Portugal, whoopsie.) Average error 37 miles, 192 secs.

Good game, hula, thanks

Didn't realise it changed the order. Wonder if it is harder depending on which countries you get in which order then? Quite possible I think. Especially those really tiny ones - if they come first it would be much harder.

hula - that's a good point - I had several small ones right at the start - if I'd have had France, Germany, Greece, etc first it would have been much easier

Oh yes, the order does matter, very much! Hula, is this a school test? If so the order should be the same for everybody, shouldn't it, to be fair?

Just looked at link again - and I think it maybe a school's resource - but not Uk based. There are other games/quizes on there too.
