The Managing Director Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 So I just thougth I should share this website with you all because it is brilliant and educational (not about chickens though) , I don't know if anyones already mentioned it but for anyone with kids it is a great way for them to learn the sort of general knowledge that is always useful, you know like 'what is the capital of Kazaghstan' er not even sure I can spell that It started as a geography site but has branched out into all sorts of other areas now. It is very satisfying when the CA can get more of the european capitals right than the adults, mind you we are all at a bit of a disadvantage I'm sure at least half the countries in EUrope didn't exist when I was at school So it's called sheppardsoftware and there is a very small chance I will be able to post you a link below http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/ if the link doesn't work maybe a kind moderator will fix it for me technical support is as ever unavailable anyway hope some of you find this fun, I think the geography part is best but then I'm the sort of sad person who likes the challenge of learning all the African Capital cities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Yep I outplaced bosnia by a few mm which was the loss of the 2%! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Chick Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hey Martin, very clever, only reached 69 % and even missplaced Switzerland by an inch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Managing Director Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hey Martin, very clever, only reached 69 % and even missplaced Switzerland by an inch I think that sounds a very good first attempt Sonja although I can see that misplacing Switzerland might be a bit embarassing a useful tip if you ever try Mexican state capitals, just put the name of the state in, you get 50% even if you know nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
