More geography fun

I was having fun with geography here recently, and now ran across another cool game - The Geography Challenge.

You get to represent your own country and play a game where you identify random countries from a world map.

The navigation takes a bit of getting used to, so your scores will probably improve with retries - mine did.

I scored six, eight, seven out of ten. I was pretty much doomed if anything in South America or the Pacific Island nations came up.

If you care, an easy way (for me, at least) to learn this stuff is to play around here, and open up another tab (you do use Firefox, don't you?) to Wikipedia or the CIA Factbook and find one factoid you can associate with the country in question. Having some other associated fact in the brain makes it stick better.
