I stunk....but it was fun! I only scored 68%. I always said that if I had to label a blank map or die...I'd die! Geography is always the last category they make me go for on trivial pursuit! I'd be much better the second time.

[Froufy]

Is this like a cruel joke to play on a CANADIAN FROUF??? Well now I don't feel so bad seeing as Vickie got 68%.

I am happy to report I got 50% with a 349 mile average error - I did pretty good with the obivous ones - esp along the east coast - but had some trouble with the "interior".

Waiting to hear how the other "americans" did! (Frannie help me out here!).

Study up, Frouf! It gets better with time. And let it be known that I would score an absolute ZERO if it were a "place the Canada thingy". I'm so stupid I don't even know if you're called states or areas or provinces or countries. That's not good.

[Froufy]

Ya - I was just about to add - just wait til I find a Canadian puzzle map - good luck to you!

So here's your mini-quiz: (no web research/cheating)

1) Name the current Prime Minister of Canada

2) How many provinces/territories?

3) What is the capital of Canada?

Good luck!

Without cheating ... I swear!

1) Don't know
2) Don't know
3) Don't know

Okay, I realize my weak areas and know what I should work on. I faintly remember there being an issue when the war started with something about something ... but oh my am I embarrassed.

Going to do some homework now.

Ooh, I'm bad with Canada. I think I could name most of the provinces - uh, are there like 7 or so? Current Prime Minister? Don't know. Capital? Uh, don't know, Toronto?

But to redeem myself, on the US quiz, I got 90% with a 19 mile average error, so not too shabby!

My brother was way in to drawing US maps on everything, and he'd quiz us on states and their capitals, and he also read encyclopedias for fun. What state produces the most strawberries? What's the major export of Taiwan? What's the national currency of Peru? etc... But I guess we never got into Canada.

I'm going to go research Canada now, to see how stupid I am.

Hint - A Frouf you know lives in the CAPITAL CITY of Canada...???? Can u figure this out?

(insert Jeopardy theme song here.....na na na na...)

Frouf

[aghiowa]

Hey, I was pretty close, geographically. At least I was in the same province.

And now I know how many provinces and territories there are, and their names. Aaah, I feel so educated.

Angela

[Vickie]

Frouf, so you are trying to make me look really stupid?! The only one I know is Ottawa for the capital. I knew this without the hint. Jim guesses 10 for the provinces/territories.

Angela, maybe you or your DB should go on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire! BTW, my average miles off was only 327. So I was in the neighborhood just not perfect with alot of my States. If you were off more than a hair, it would not give you credit.

Darn game......

[Monkeypoodle]

This is fun. I was within 7 miles on the states.

As for Canada, that's north of us, right?
