GeoGuessr Throwdown!
Came across this great time waster... GeoGuessr - Let's explore the world!
It dumps you somewhere on Google streetview, and you have to guess where you are (no cheating with google open in another window!). One of the fun features is that you can create challenges for others, where they are presented the same locations, and compare scores: TheMentat's Throwdown My score... 11,912: TheMentat's Score

The challenged player lost the challenge with 8924 points against 11912.
Yes, it is a cool time waster to us geography nerds.  Ian

9100 points. 2 answers were continents off. I don't know what the time frame was to make a guess, but I think given a few minutes I could have pin pointed a go kart track in Japan. As is was, I was within 100 miles by chance.
Damn, 2nd time through I was doing pretty good until I picked South Africa over Australia. What side of the road do the SA's drive on? I assumed same as any former Colony. Last edited by Zeke; 08-10-2013 at 08:43 AM.. |

I love XKCD. A coworker introduced me a while back and I spent the next several weeks going through every page from the beginning. I haven't kept up with it since then.
