I need to dust off one of my atlases, as most of my trouble involved names of African continent nations, which are very different than ones I learned 'back in the day.' You're right, Lee .. would be a better game if the map was large enough to see. Hard to gain accuracy points with this version.</p> <p>**EDIT**</p> <p>That sound you hear?

You know, the trouble with being old (ahem) in the age of computers is much of the geography I knew as a youngster is no longer valid. I remember one of my teachers pointing out the proposed development of Brasilia. She told us that a planned capital was an extraordinary event that probably would not occur again in our lifetimes. </p> <p>There are, what, a half-dozen planned capitals now? </p> <p>Methinks I need to find a test circa 1956 :} </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3204#post-27957 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 18:24:19 +0000 Lee 27957@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Had another go top see if I got lucky before, 163,000 this time. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3204#post-27944 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 15:39:42 +0000 Bobby 27944@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>ooooh .. good one, Funky! </p> <p>* Lee .. that's impressive!
