			89% 90 miles I suck at Eastern European Geography. The ones I did get were all because of matching shapes. And Malta? Sure, I know it's a small island near Italy, but which one? |

			I got all the major pieces right - it was the tiny little countries buried in the middle of others, or the little islands, that threw me off.

			%73.  Trying to find the little dots where Monaco, Andorra, and Vatican City are supposed to go is a bitch even if you know their relative positions.

			64%, 316 miles off.  I usually get my bearings from the big countries (like Germany) and then start on the others.  The small places like Monaco and San Marino were hard.

			84% avg error of 91 miles San Marino and Malta were the ones that I didn't know at all, so they killed me. The landlocked countries like Belarus and Slovakia were difficult too. On my second try I got 95% with an avg error of 11 miles (I was lucky that Slovakia was one of the last countries to show up). |
