Just thought I would let you know we played it tonight after our Christmas dinner with our friends. We all were incredibly bad at it but had lots of fun. Think they could hear us in the next neighborhood.

I had the same problems, Stephen, and possibly worse, since I used the trackpad on my MacBook instead of a mouse.

I probably could have whooped you on a level playing field, but as things stand, you take the crown again

Yours in sour grapes,

Level 11
126 IQ

It was more of a mouse challenge for me than a knowledge challenge; I made 3 actual errors in 11 levels. I had a lot of trouble with the mouse and couldn’t see the map well enough to get much better than within 126 km of cities I knew very well.

Well it is well known before I did the Traveler IQ challenge that I really suck with geography. Source of great amusement to my hubby (even struggle with Australian capital cities!)

In my defense I am a scientist and many scientists struggle with areas like geography, language and history. So how about a science IQ challenge? Score = embarrassing – never get me to give you directions. Level = 3 IQ=80 want to play Trivial Pursuit?
