US: 40/51 - AVG Error: 74 miles
EUR: 32/46 - AVG Error: 102 miles
Asia: 22/32 - AVG Error: 358 miles

I guess I suck at geography then XD. At least those 3 continents.

I suck at knowing where things are. :lol

40 out of 51 perfect, Average error: 44 miles

US: 47 out of 51 perfect, Average error: 11 miles
Asia :23 out of 32, average error:  358 miles
Europe: 37 out of 46 perfect, Average error: 91 miles

I need to learn more about Asia.  Also, I didn't know there were so many "dots" that are countries in Europe.  What's up with that?
