squeegebeckenheim on Sep 24 '06 at 2:52pm

ummmm. there are 50 states though.

i'll try anyway.

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 2:52pm

This little test has done more to teach me

America's geography than any class I've

ever taken.

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 2:53pm

It doesn't include Alaska and Hawaii

partyrings on Sep 24 '06 at 2:54pm

thats so not fair....

Noodlegirl on Sep 24 '06 at 2:54pm

yes i did.

squeegebeckenheim on Sep 24 '06 at 2:55pm

i did it!

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 2:56pm

alright Noodlegirl ! You can go the fourth grade now ;D

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 2:56pm

squeegebeckenheim is movin' up !

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 2:57pm

It took me 6 or 7 times to finally not make any mistakes.

You guys are good !

melston on Sep 24 '06 at 2:57pm

Weak.

Wot, no capitals?

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 2:58pm

Hey, it's for third grade !

blonde8007 on Sep 24 '06 at 2:59pm

yep i passed.

miss mraz on Sep 24 '06 at 3:00pm

20/48. damn!

Noodlegirl on Sep 24 '06 at 3:01pm

Really, we had to know capitals, and I was the best at capitals...I'm good at capitals of countries too...twas the life when school was easy...just memorization of cities.

OlliRudi on Sep 24 '06 at 3:01pm

hey, i'm not from the us, so i don't need to know where to put your stinkin' states! you lose!

ir0cko on Sep 24 '06 at 3:02pm

i got em! :)

davidd on Sep 24 '06 at 3:03pm

It took me twice to get them all...I need to review my states.

.moto. on Sep 24 '06 at 3:05pm

i nearly did it...

chenonceau on Sep 24 '06 at 3:06pm

It's not fair, the game wouldn't recognize when I was trying to put Delaware on the map because it was too small. :(

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 3:06pm

here's your diploma, blonde8007. Ok, it's greek and it's for graduating from 4th to 5th, and your name is now Katerina Siamidis, but at least you know your states.

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 3:06pm

WE STILL LOVE YOU OLLIEEEEEEEEEEE !!!

Cactus Pirate Jr. on Sep 24 '06 at 3:07pm

Dammit, I fail!

Cactus Pirate Jr. on Sep 24 '06 at 3:08pm

It wouldn't let me put North Carolina where it should be!

It took me like 5 tries! It's rigged!

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 3:08pm

chenonceau, yeah, I found out that hitting the F11 key

increases the viewing space on my monitor so the map

actually enlarged a little. That made it easier for me

to drop the arrow on Rhode Island and Deleware.

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 3:10pm

Cactus Pirate Jr., the very tip of the red arrow has to

land in the area of the map where the state is. Otherwise

that stupid red X gets thrown onscreen.

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 3:11pm

Can someone tutor miss mraz, please !

Unrivaled Silence on Sep 24 '06 at 3:12pm

I live in alaska, and im never counted for anything : (

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 3:15pm

Urivaled Silence, well then you need to get on the Threadless Member Map. Michelle01 is up there in Alaska with

you and you two could count for something.

Unrivaled Silence on Sep 24 '06 at 3:18pm

I had it all, doing great. till i got to the east coast..... never did learn the difference between Maryland and Vermont

ofthecoast on Sep 24 '06 at 3:19pm

I had to do it like 4 times before I could actually finish within the time limit.

Though I think I did alright for never having studied American geography.

Unrivaled Silence on Sep 24 '06 at 3:20pm

Done and done, two spots on the map now

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 3:21pm

Alask finally counts! :P

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 3:25pm

I took a whole year of Geography during my

junior year in highschool, but I don't remember

any of it. Where's Iraq ?

drumminondawater on Sep 24 '06 at 3:25pm

igts hard on a laptop

phones on Sep 24 '06 at 3:33pm

i got 10- not bad for a clueless Brit.

It's good to see you blogging, Helo!

flourpower on Sep 24 '06 at 3:33pm

I fail...I can get the border ones pretty easily, but I have no idea about the heartland. I guess that's what happens when you're a damn elitist commie northeasterner.

rholliday on Sep 24 '06 at 3:39pm

For balance:

Europe

Australia

Canada

(All of these from .)

Also fun:

US Capitals

European Capitals

World Capitals

European Rivers

European Flags

World Flags

(Most from here or here.)

And that's just geography. History's good to know, too. :)

rholliday on Sep 24 '06 at 3:40pm

Bah, that should have been:

(All of these from here.)

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 3:44pm

rholliday to the rescue ! ( He's in Georgia - near me ! )

I'm sure rholliday did it all just for you, OlliRudi !

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 3:49pm

rholliday, I love how the comment box helps me out

when I get it wrong.

" No, that's Libya, try again "

" No, that's Ethiopia, ...one try left "

" That's Madagascar. No more tries ...click next question "

" No more tries...click next question "

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 3:55pm

Here's a hard one for Europe. You have to drag the country

onto its place on the map without any border lines already

laid out. Here's the a href="http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/country_europe_G2_drag-drop.html">test.

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 3:56pm

oops !

here's the test

BrewHaHa on Sep 24 '06 at 3:58pm

What does knowing imaginary political boundaries have to do with the study of Earth, human interactions with Earth, and enviroments found on Earth's lithosphere?

Hmmm?

helo on Sep 24 '06 at 4:03pm

It allows us to have fun on Threadless blogs!

Wheeeeeeeeeee!

OCandCO on Sep 24 '06 at 4:04pm

So I take it you didn't pass third grade?

rholliday on Sep 24 '06 at 4:04pm

Fine BrewHaHa, it's the cultural subset of geography, not the full spectrum. For the record, those "imaginary political boundaries" end up having a large effect on how humans interact with the earth, directly or indirectly. :)

Yeah help, those do kind of help you out some, but hey, learning's fun too, right? We don't always already have the answers. :)

rholliday on Sep 24 '06 at 4:06pm

*helo, not help. What an unfortunate typo. :)

Unrivaled Silence on Sep 24 '06 at 4:11pm

YAH, i got a 71% on the Europe one with no borders. Would gotten better but i didn�t know any of the city/countries

BrewHaHa on Sep 24 '06 at 4:13pm

Representin North Carolina's Region 2 Winner for the National Geographic Geography Bee in 2000

An asian girl from region 3 beat me in the state finals...but she didn't place to go to the championship in DC, so we technically tied.

And I was on vacation the next year when they held it at the school level for placement.

And then I don't ever remember having another geography bee.

Unrivaled Silence on Sep 24 '06 at 4:14pm
