So imagine youre 10 years old. You only have to move about half as quickly as the fastest shuttle-runner on the planet, but you have to keep it up for 45 seconds, not four. Also, you have to lug around a beacon thats almost as tall as you are. Oh, and you must simultaneously demonstrate a thorough knowledge of African political geography. Oh and hey, and the map is upside-down. Good luck, junior. I was supremely confident, then, that I could destroy the final round of Carmen Sandiego if given the opportunity. The contestant was given 45 seconds to run around on a giant map, without labels, and told to identify the locations of countries by placing a series of beacons on them. The map in question varied from episode to episode. I would have breezed through the United States map. Europe would be tougher, given all its brand-new post-Soviet breakaway nations, but Id study. Asia would be fine, so long as I could remember which one was Cambodia and which was Thailand. Africa, though.
