Beat you Matt- 3691 - most of my answers were about a millimetre out!!

Difficult to get spot-on accuracy, it`s so small!

4056 - too small to pinpoint accurately, so you always lose some points!

It is a bit on the tiny side.

I could hardly get my cursor onto Sri Lanka, let alone pinpoint Colombo.

Some of the provincial cities of South American countries and Central Asian republics can be a bit tricky to locate......

Still, it's 'educational', I suppose. Perhaps our American cousins might find it informative, given their acknowledged lack of awareness of the big wide world.

I was asked which state Eire is in; later I heard an American asked where in the USA Marrakesh is. Both questioners were merkins - the latter was, at the time, the senior vice president responsible for international business in one of the largest New York banks.

Every time I try this I get 2 cities in and AOL shuts down. I have the latest version of IE.

It has never happened before and only on this site.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
