How much are you allowed to look around?

I look around and zoom in, but don't move from the original spot. And no googling!

That's a tougher proposition.

Just tried it and got 10,851. Would've been loads more but mistook Malaysia for Brazil.

Malaysia for Brazil.

"That looks like Finland. Maybe Sweden. No, look at all those pine trees and rocky outcrops, it's definitely Finland"

*Clicks on Finland*

New Fecking Zealand. Every bloody time.

I've clicked on Botswana about 1000 times and it's never been Botswana.

This time I thought 'I'm not clicking on Botswana - it's never Botswana. I'm going to click on Brazil'

Guess what... Botswana!

Seriously though, the number of shanty towns is unbelievable. Seems like half the world is living in a one-room shack with a tin roof and a goat in the yard

Has anyone else played this game?

You are presented with a series of 'Google Street View' images, and must use your judgement to pinpoint the location on a map of the world. I find it quite entertaining and weirdly addictive.

Agreed.

A lot are down to pure guesswork though. An advertising sign showing Timur was a penalty kick mind.

Explains lack of question on the Music Thread.
