Geography quiz  I was a geography major in college. As such, everyone thinks I can name all the state capital (is it capitol or capital?) and know all the countries of the world. That wasn't exactly part of the curriculum. We mostly studied spatial analysis concepts, air photo interpretation, computer mapping (on IBM cards no less), but not tests on state capitals or county locations.

However, I've always thought of myself as being knowledgeable about the ways (and countries) of the world. That is until I took the Geography quiz. After selecting a region of interest, you are presented with a color choropleth map of countires without names. You are asked to point to the country in question. I flunked. I keep trying. I keep flunking.
