Basically, you're donating virtual cups of water for every location you get correct. The number of cups you score for "donation" depends on how close you click to the actual location. Getting 10 cups is pretty hard >.> but I managed it for a couple of locations in North America. Having to memorize the whole map of USA (states and capitals) in fifth grade pays off at last.

The easiest regions to score 7 or more cups were in Europe and North America and Asia (including middle east). Africa and South America were the hardest for me because I don't know much about either continent. Australia was slightly easier but I only got Canberra correct.

Made it to 178 cups before I lost (game over after getting 0 cups six times). I guess I need to improve my geography!

Play it and post your score!

Also, I had to print screen the badge I get at the end, anyone know how to embed the code here?

I got to super hard level and donated like 272 cups

E: Just got to 280, after that it starts doing tiny islands in the South Pacific, throwing me through a loop more than the random Argentinian and Australian cities I missed.

Faggots.

The hardest ones for me were in the US, surprisingly. I have all the Asian, European and South American places down, and obviously I know where shit is out here.

You beat me because it does a disproportionate number of places in Australia, which is a big ass place that can only be ruled by the assumption that it's on the coast somewhere.

:/

E: :haw: SUCK IT :haw:

It only did two for me, don't try that.

I could draw accurate maps of South America at age 7, so

sorry, but it kept giving me all these Australian places, and let me be frank, outside of Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Canberra I'm kinda lost

i'm not even going to bother with this one, i already know how well i'll score.

My history / geography / whateverthefucktheyfeltlikeatthetime course was the biggest waste of time i ever did.

i know fuck all about world war 2 or anything at all about the geography of the globe because they dummed down the class to allow dead beat dipshits to pass.

seriously though as long as you know where the country is you shouldn't really ever miss one unless it's in a big country where the only major cities are named gay shit like "canberra" and "perth" and the projection messes it up and fuck australia http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c251/CN3089/Emoticons/emot-argh.gif
