Guess The Spot
Michael,
I tried this and identified 14 out 16 earth spots viewed from space. Try it, it’s fun!

12 our of 16 but I missed three I should have known which boosts my score to 15 out of 16 but I guessed at six which brings me back down to 6 out of 16.

i got 13 of 15, the three i missed, i should have gotten too so by mikes reasoning i got 16 of 16

I only got 10 out of 16. But with my gold star for the gas cap photo, that brings me to 16 out of 16.

You’ll always be a winner to me.

It said I missed the first couple, but upon checking the answers I know I answered them correctly. Then I remembered that I left my computer for about 30 minutes and then resumed the test. Must have a time limit on correct answers. I still got 80% right, but I missed Times Square!

I beat you all… Igot all but one (times square! really, I should have know better). I am a “big picture” sort….

Anon, can we compete for lowest score? By Mike’s reasoning, I got 3 of 16 (Hoover Dam, Niagra, and Statue of Liberty). OK, so I wagged (wag’ed? El Kib, how would you make “WAG” into a verb?) on 6 others (and got them right). But who else won a plasma tv? Oops, I let it time out; I’ll never know what the asterisk meant.

WAG or SWAG (Scientific wild-ass guess) worked for me. Eliminating 2 of the 4 possible locations was pretty easy most of the time. (SWAGging got me through grad school, especially the French reading exam.)

Wouldn’t that be FWAGging?

Well, the approach is scientific–narrowing down the possibilities, looking for un-obvious clues, or comparing previous questions–just like scientists approach nature’s secrets.

Wagged. But I all but didn’t to tie rakkity. I guessed wrong on # 2 only because I made the mistaken assumption that the correct answer couldn’t be photographed, and I won’t say on what other I guessed wrong lest someone like LaRad cease to speak to me.

I have a feeling that if I tried it again my score would be even lower.
