TORONTO- North Americans fed up with being ribbed over their geographical incompetence are trying to get even -- pitting their skills against Britain in a transatlantic geography quiz.
Two geography enthusiasts from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean designed the 2006 Geography Cup after numerous surveys highlighted the geographical ignorance of both Americans and Britons.
Open to anyone in the United States and UK, the online quiz http://www.geographycup.com gives contestants two minutes to place 13 randomly selected countries on an interactive political map.
