I got full marks, but surprisingly it was two football teams who gave me the most trouble.

Yep - a very good one! 62/64 - kicking myself about the one Rugby Union side I failed to get, although wouldn't have got the one Rugby League side I missed...

Same here Matt, but it was two Rugby Union teams that did for me, one of which I should have got.

Some good user-contributed ones here...

50 largest European urban areas - I got 45, albeit there's a fair bit of controversy on the boards about the "City Mayors" source!

Flags with neither red nor blue - I got 7/10 and 2/4 bonuses. Surprisingly hard!

8 out of 10 and also missed 2 bonuses on the flags.

Snap. Good quiz that one.

Enjoyed the other quiz too, although only a disappointing 40/50 there. Always controversial with those population ones.

Good fun for those of us who got in to the NFL in the 1980s...

Countries with the highest low point - 23/25 plus the obvious bonus answer...

I don't think the bonus answers are a thing to be proud of.

Think of them as traps or those answers in QI that set off the alarms.

Anyway, I did rubbish at that one. Spent most of my time trying to work out how I was misspelling Bolivia and ended up with just 11

Warning: their map seems a bit off, Blackpool was in the sea and West London appears to be just north of the Isle of Wight.

Some of their London and Manchester locations are plain odd. Good game, though.
