15 Questions
| Total Attempts: 1679
When I was a kid, reading road atlases for fun, I realized very quickly that not everyone else shared my obsession with maps and geography—that it is, in fact, considered a little bit weird to actually know where places are. But I came to terms long ago with this quirk, and was surprised to find, later in life, how many other people shared it. On this monthly geography quiz, mapheads, it’s finally our time to shine.
