US vs. UK Geography Contest

Reuters on Thursday spoke of a US vs. UK geography contest organized by two folks, one one each side of the Atlantic.  This contest can be found out at www.geographycup.com.

Currently, the Brits are ahead with a score of 57 to 54.5 for those of us in the colonies. 

I've attempted to take the test from home, but somehow their system doesn't recognize my home IP address as a U.S. IP address.  I've checked out some other places (like ip2location.com) and it is registered as a U.S. IP.

Sounds like someone's geography test isn't so up on web geography.
