Do americans really know nothing about Europe?

[UATrewqaz]

I don't disagree, I think the average European knows more about the whole world than the average U.S. citizen does.

However Europeans like to think this somehow means that all US citizens are instantly drooling fools and all Europeans are somehow magically informed.

This game is in a way a close equivalent for US states. Let's see how Europeans do on this...

EDIT: Actually, that's not quite the one I was looking for. That one is strange. If you get it right, it disappears. If you get it wrong it stays. Adds an extra level of difficulty, but if you can have very few states on the map at the end, you did good.

On mine: 35/50, 121 miles average error, 415 seconds

Most of my misses were barely off or those small East coast states.

Nice. I got 49/50. Put Colorado too far north.

Best was Madrid at 84km.

I totally blew Athens, 1329.

9071, American, and have never left North America.

23 year old American. I have been to England and France

I am embarrased with my results: 13774 km

It did not help that I missed the following by more than 1000 km:
Helsinki, Kiew, Belgrad, Ankara (missed by 2041), Den Haag

I was under 150km with the following:
Lissabon, Madrid, London, Paris, Dublin, Rome, Oslo, Athens

German

2291km and 34/50

But methinks knowing US states isn't the same as knowing European Contries/Capitals...

I would't ask an american either if he knew even 2 of the 16 German States...
