my school had a geography bee (or something like that) but first they tested the kids in their classes and i got ZERO POINTS but i come home and play this for an hour and i practically know the globe. I conclude that either A. life sucks B. education these days need to be improved or C. all of the above

Final location, final level, still a few hundred points needed to complete the hard badge, as well as a strike. Being British has left me unable to do most US cities throughout. I get London, England - Strike and hard badge in one!

EASY WAY TO GET HARD BADGE:
Okay, if you are like me, and have tried a million times, and continuously get reminded of the fact that I ..... at geography - do this:
Open a new window with Google-Maps. When you see what city you need to find, quickly (alt+tab) to google, and find the city there. I use Firefox, and when i change windows, the Flash program will temporarily stop (infinite time in other words). Do this until you are finished! Easy piecey :)
+ if this helps

One of the easier hard badges. a few tips: to zoom (works in firefox. Internet Explorer I havent used in a while, you may have to go to the view menu bar), click anywhere in the browser outside the game box and use the mouse wheel while holding CTRL. Create a new tab (CTRL+T or click the add a new tab button on your browser), and go to google maps. The timer does not count down when you are in a different tab! For inland cities on the levels with no borders, memorize the position of the city relative to the coastline, and use those coastlines as your vertical and horizontal coordinates. The crosshairs really help out with this.

Please add a zoom function to help with the exact placement of our cursor as I swear I have "hit" the target perfectly then it tells me where I clicked was over 200km off

Easy but unfair to get the achievements is to open up googlemaps in another tab.
As you leave the game the timer stops.Although its a nice way to learn your map...
But i have no needs to learn albarajhabankaderbi in somwhere afrorussia.
Hope it helps for those who want the achievements.

the island was a single pixel. I clicked and got 18km instead of a strike.
how do i get more accurate than a single pixel?
Get a zoom in feature!

Can't get past level 7.
Ironically, I could tell you the lat/long coordinates for most of these cities, but I couldn't point to them so precisely on a map. You probably need a better map... I can't see geographic features.

i am also better than most americans at geography, this is because I am not american and U.S americans are stupid. The japanese however are people who are very intellegent, if an american is more intelligent than the average japanese person he/she has something to smile about. I am british but also a nerdy/geeky/knowitall type
