Not bad at all as some of the places are way "out in the boonies"

The only Portuguese cities that appeared when I played the former were Lisbon and Funchal. The latter is the capital of Madeira, not Azores: much further east and south than the Azores.
World Challenge.

This is what popped up: Vila da Praia da Vitória

The map is veryyyyyy small. At this minute, Iraniens have to pack cause I said they lived in Portugal
And New Zeland is somehow on the same island as Japan
Other than this I did well this is Christmas and I was helped by a few beers.
I'll try that on a morning coffee

What are the places/regions that you have most problems with?
I'm good at Europe (I should be), Asia and Africa (I can pinpoint the places at around 50km (Europe) and 200 km (Asia and Africa) accuracy).

I have the MOST trouble with islands around Australia (never know which side they are on so I can easily misjudge 6000 km) and Canada (also so big that the mistakes cost me A LOT of points).

I got to level 12 on my 4th attempt (was stuck at 11 for a while) but would love to better my score.

And you are right, it is addictive!
