this is simmilar to the freerice link I posted, but it donates water instead. Again it sounds insignificant, but if you have nothing better to do with your life why not?

I gave 526 cups.
Some of the locations they wanted were not correct. One time it asked for Guam and instead it pointed to a different island group.
Also, it kept going between Argentina and Algeria. A lot of countries never were even named like Brazil, India, and Russia.
Still had fun.

Geography isn't my strong point. First time I didn't make it to hard level, took to long trying to answer some of them, and only gave 88 cups. Second time it asks different questions, I made it to hard level, and gave 179 cups, for a grand total of 267 cups.
I think I'll play again.

The locations in the USA are hard... IMHO.

| I got to 224. Unfortunately I have no idea on African geography except for the Mediterranean area and South Africa and Zimbabwe (cricket and rugby.) |

My best score so far was 272. Australia really throws me off.

I barely made it to Super Hard level (220 cups of water), mostly by luck and inordinate knowledge of Western Europe.
Too bad... I was hoping they'd ask me to point out something in Azerbaijan. Not that I know where it is (although I'm not terrible considering I've never had a geography lesson outside Carmen Sandiego), but I've always liked the sound of it.

I really liked that almost as much as freerice. I'm definitely better at vocabulary than I am at geography, am going to bookmark the page and send it to some other people. Thanks for posting it.
Oh, I only got to 189 cups of water, this first time.
