Awesome map simulation of world births and deaths:

That was in 2006. Do you have an updated version?

At this resolution the 2013 version looks exactly the same. If you can zoom in, it has been updated to show Manhattan listed as midfingerese.

I bombed Damascus, Maryland.

i have my reasons.

[CardiacCoug]

12 miles.

We have bombs that destroy everything over a 12 mile radius, right?

[Sizzle]

29 miles. No, I did not cheat.

[Moliere]

I got 110. But I didn't see the zoom button. I thought to myself what a dumb game when you can't even zoom in.

I only post my results in these kinds of threads when I do well on the test.

89 miles. That big palm did me no favors. I know where it is and couldn't get the target on top of it.

66 miles off. If they'd used a pointer instead of a grabber I would have nailed it (that seems like a pretty big programming error).

I made it in Syria - just didn't realize Damascus was so close to the coast.

Same here, 75 miles off. At the point that you know where Syria is, I bet you would look at the map to bomb the correct city.
I wouldn't expect the average person in Europe to know where St. Louis was exactly located.

A game to test those who may wish to bomb Damascus. Among Americans, most can't get within 100 miles; some are bombing Africa or even India. I was 35 miles off.

I'm surprised Utah County made the list and that certain states don't have any counties. Louisiana is probably the biggest surprise. I can't see any blue in there.

LA may have had one shaded 10 years ago.
