Woohoo! 10 out of 12. That's better than I did on the math quiz last month. I have a math degree but I love geography.

Congratulations Cody!

11/12 - and the one I got wrong I had narrowed down to 50/50! I beat Al, and that is all that counts! Great job, Cody.

I got beat by a girl! Love you anyway, Krista! Rematch: Scrabble tonight?

10/12 Mexican states... that was a doozy.

I won the geography bee for my school in fifth grade, but never went any further. I won an inflatable globe!

Here is National Geographic's daily Geo Quiz, if anyone is interested.
