Default Geography Quiz

I usually donīt like to start off-topics but this one I love to do:

Geography Quiz

With US and German states as well as European and American countries I almost always get the perfect score, US state capitals is getting better but still at about 65 %. US major cities is quite funny - I mean what the hell should I know where Escanabe is or Nogales? I even wouldnīt call them "major" cities - with a population of few more than 20,000.

And donīt even try Russian or Chinese or Indian provinces... Never heard of 95 % of their names!

Here's something for all you geography nerds.

This one is aviation related too.

...and turbulence, blown off-course by jet streams, almost collided with another aircraft and have to declare an emergency landing...
