Very good. Took me quite a bit of trial and error to get through that one. Learned a lot.

I didn't do any better, interesting challenge. I had one left over...Bahrain. Didn't see any white spaces left for it either, am I missing something?

That took longer than I expected. Honestly I did fairly well on the fist few Iraq, Iran, Isreal, Palenstine, etc. Then I hit a string that I had never heard of (...-stan) countries and just started trying to drop them in places until they fit.
I didn't do very well at all, but I did have fun trying.
Thanks for the game.

Thanks, Sugerbear. We all need a good geography lesson.  |

I was only slightly better on the second try!  This may require a little more work. |

Good stuff! I'm a Geography nut and little tests like this one always enlightens me. Never get them all correct.

have fun and no cheating I didn't cheat.
It wasn't nearly as much fun as I had thought it might be.
I was able to spell Israel and Palestine correctly. I was troubled to find I didn't really know the location of Afghanistan.
Your definition of the middle east stretches further into African than I would have thought. |

I was really surprised I knew the locations of the former USSR stans. Only had a problem with a few mainly in western Africa.

Did horrible. Was right on the first try maybe 30% of the time. Guess I better read more in the newspaper than the scores and the comics!

When I first started, I got about 6 right. Now after after about 5 or 6 tries, I get them all fairly quick. I guess I'm not too old to learn.  Thanks. |

I rationalize my difficulty with the fact that so much of the middle eastern geography has changed since I studied it in school. I attended my 50th high school reunion 10 days ago.

I did pretty well. Kind of makes you think. I wonder how many took the quiz and couldn't find the countries that we are fighting in?
