8/10 on the city streets map, and 9/10 on the subway map. :beer:

Oh, and I actually KNEW Moscow immediately - did not guess on that one (like I may have on a couple of others) or take advantage of the subtle hints.

Streets 7/10.

Subways 8/10.  (Had a couple lucky guesses on this one.)

6/10 and 7/10. I guess city planning is not one of my areas of expertise. :-P

9/10 (damn Venice!) and 6/10. The non-US subways really killed me.

Is this a Rorschach test?

There are two things it can be, but since this is a family-friendly forum, you're left to your own devices figuring out what those things are!

Anyway...

All of the streets, nine of the subways. For some reason, I thought Seattle had a more expansive transit network than it actually does.
