    Very good

    Average error 163 miles, 435 seconds, 63% correct. Mind you, my mouse stuck and I dropped Finland on Germany Central/Eastern Europe is quite hard.

    40/45. 89% correct average error 38 miles time 363 but I was lucky as it did some big countries first and I could work out where many of the others went. The baltic countries caused me problems. I had to guess a few of which I got bang on. YAY

    Shamed myself. 58% correct. Bloody dots. Who gives a monkies where Andorra is?

    I agree Shiato, what we need is a non-crap map of Europe. Any country that is pre-dated by items in my fridge, is immediately discounted. So that makes most of the map the U.S.S.R.

    Then, we set the game at the height of German agression during world war II, so most of the rest is Germany, France I insist on being refered to as 'Occupied' or simply 'Pwned' France, and I want Wales removed completely. No reason, just makes me smile.

    Great little game though.
