,considering 3,850 of 1,282,387 is in the top 0.3% of all quiz-takers, i'd say that it's QUITE good.
i just topped out (for now) at 597,113 (iq 135). I was one location away from completing level 12. screw you, norway!!! (anyone know which location i'm referring to? I was about 12,000km away)

Unlike most Facebook apps, this one actually has a bit of a redeeming quality - play it a few times, and you WILL figure out your geographical weak points and they will (somewhat) improve. How many of you could have nailed Senegal on a map before you played this game? Now you can...
Also, my understanding of the distances between the various Asian cities has improved somewhat. I could always find most of those cities on a map without too much difficulty, but never really considered relationships between cities. Probably old hat for a lot of FTers who fly these routes often, but for someone who doesn't do much intra-Asian travel it's a bit enlightening to get a bit more familiar with geography of the hemisphere as a whole.
I wish they had a larger overall database of cities in the game. Lots of repeats... I'm at the point now where I reach the last level often and get stumped on those Russian cities.
