Check your geographical knowledge about Europe and mark on the map 39 european capitols so precise you are able to do.
this site is in german, but I think it's no problem, because the names of captiols & countries are similar as in english.
on the right margin of the site you will find the button START

Anybody solved it without the help of your friend (google)? I needed it for a lot of steps, actually.
I have to admit that I made heavy use of google and ask.com. I considered this to be what the puzzle is about -- knowing the right questions to ask, like "Who was the 16th president" or how to find a periodic table of the elements online. Only a total savant could have all the lists and languages memorized.

Particularly as my first response to "acht" was "negen".
I got it right at the second attempt.

It's a bit sad that my positioning for London was 42.70 kilometers out, and I live there.

Maybe, but with google it was just too easy -- no idea what "buchanan" is about? Just google "buchanan 15 16"...

I got 1825 km. I think I was furthest off for Kiev (200 km).
On the German one I got more kilometers! Especially those in northeast and eastern Germany I was clueless about.
