Kottke's embarrassed by his score, but I'm pretty pleased with myself after scoring 36 on this Periodic Table of Elements quiz even though I wasted a good 30 seconds trying to correctly spell #9.

I Remembered Where Gambia Is
Or, at least within about 500km. Here's another geography quiz, similar to the one from last year. This one purports to test your world traveler IQ.
Be careful though, you have to get within 2000km or so, which is pretty tough if you don't remember whether Perth is on the East or West coast of Australia.
My first IQ score was 112.
