I got 10/10, but there was a bit of guessing. I would have got 6/10
without looking at the 4 options.

9/10 (without looking ahead). Afraid I made a silly mistake quickly
jumping to an erroneous Ringbahn conclusion...

I got 8/10 (should we really count no7) several of them because of the
coastline they were butting up to.

How many of the cities have you visited though, again it's 8/10 for me.

Many more maps he

10/10 - pretty easy. The Guardian did a version of this quiz. I got
all those right too.


I got 9/10 on both the Washington Post quiz and the Guardian one:

But I got 10/10 for identifying the station from the satellite photo:

but you didn't get full marks for spotting that there were actually 12
questions :-(

They were bloody hard. I got 8 out of 12, but I only actually knew 4 of
them, the other 4 were just lucky guesses

OK, 12/12, it was a couple of weeks since I did the quiz...

Of these, 4 were educated guesses (the dome in the bottom right of the
Florence picture was a good clue to question 4), I've travelled through
Liege to get from Germany to Brussels, and I've used the other 7 stations.

One out of ten. Might have got more if I'd guessed any of the nine I
didn't know.

presumably that 1 was London :-)

I got 9/10 by educated guessing, but I actually only knew 3 (plus one that I
remembered seeing in a guide book)

7/10 but I'm surprised they didn't include Glasgow. Now there's a
Ringbahn for you. :-)

8/10.

I had no way of guessing the Asian ones. The Sydney map was fairly
instinctive.
