10/10.

I am really good at geography. I stare at google maps a ton and watched a ton of the weather channel as a kid.

The 2 I missed:

Dallas/Ft Worth
New Orleans

 

[BadOctopus]

9/10. I missed Dallas/Fort Worth.

Which makes sense, really. I like looking at maps, but I've never had any interest in Texas.

I have to admit I just guessed on Paris. I thought it might have been London, I had a 50/50 guess and ended up correct. If I had zoomed in I probably could have been able to distinguish the two based on the river, but I couldn't find the Seine/Thames amid the wee little picture I was looking at.

I was torn between paris and london on that one, I chose london. this is why I don't gamble

I don't blame you. They look a lot alike from afar.

Could be worse.

You didn't do too poorly! Consider my expectations exceeded.

Hmm, and I guessed all of them. The clues/words made it easier than to just click random. Because I only recognised the first one only.

10/10. Shorelines and rivers give away some of them. With Dallas-Fort Worth, the lack of rivers or shorelines (plus two beltways) give it away.

 

[Dyslexxie]

Oh I suck at this. I struggled my way through it and I barely got 3 right.

 

[Yama]

3/10. One of them I only got right because they said "it's the name of the newspaper!!!" And the other two I completely guessed and just happened to get them right. So it might as well have been a 0.

Dang, nice work!

Pretty impressive, all things considered. I hereby proclaim you a Wonkblog-Certified GeoWhiz. Put it on your resume!

I missed Benghazi, not surprising since I didn't even know of the city before the embassy attack. All the other cities though were pretty obvious to me since maps have always been fun to look at for me.
