Ok this is in German, but still basic, just click on the map, then aim the dart at where you think the city is & click your mouse button. I was 6,300 km off!!

Yank here, never lived in Europe, got an 86% and 66 miles average error. Those blankety-blank tiny countries (Monaco, Malta, Vatican) really got me.

But where's Cyprus on the quiz?

Oops ! I only got 57% on the Europe one - all the small post-Eastern Bloc countries really threw me - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it !

90%, 38 miles, 284 seconds. Not bad.

Try going to www.torpedosoftware.com and downloading their Eurowin program. Does the same but for European countries. Good fun.

There's also a USA States one but the states sometimes need to be rotated in order for them to fit. It's more challenging.

Not (geographically) in Europe - it is due south of Turkey and everything east of the Bosphorus in Turkey is actually in Asia.
