SitiWanMahani - DOD bermasalah mencari Damsyik pada kuiz peta baru. Sebagai tindakan ketenteraan terhadap kerajaan Syria tetap menjadi topik hangat rundingan, ia telah memberi inspirasi kepada quizzers profesional untuk meminta orang ramai untuk menentukan Damsyik pada peta interaktif. Jabatan Pertahanan Amerika Syarikat nampaknya telah menghadapi masalah.
“Di mana Damsyik? Amerika Syarikat dan United Kingdom (terlintas keluar) mungkin untuk mengebom itu. Adakah anda tahu di mana ia? “Meminta pengarang permainan, menunjukkan bahawa pemain klik pada peta dan menentukan bandar.
Peta segar kemudian muncul, menunjukkan anda berapa banyak batu dari realiti jawapan anda.
Secara umum keputusan menunjukkan bahawa orang tahu ibu negara Syria terletak di Timur Tengah dan berhampiran dengan laut. Media sosial laman web usvsth3m.com, yang pasukannya mencipta permainan ini, katanya dalam satu analisis yang dikeluarkan pada hari Jumaat bahawa “Lebih daripada 50% daripada pemain kita fikirkan dalam jarak 200 kilometer.”
Walau bagaimanapun, keputusan jabatan-jabatan kerajaan yang telah dikesan dan menghasilkan beberapa anggaran membimbangkan yang tepat.
“Kami . . . mempunyai 65 tekaan dari dalam Jabatan Pertahanan Amerika Syarikat,” mendedahkan statistik. “57% mendapat ia betul-betul di DOD, berbanding dengan 64% di [UK] Majlis Parlimen [daripada 139 tekaan].”
DoD has problems locating Damascus in new map quiz. As military actions against the Syrian government remains a hot topic of negotiations, it has inspired professional quizzers to ask people to pinpoint Damascus on interactive map. The US Department of Defense has apparently encountered problems.
“Where is Damascus? The US and the UK (crossed out) are probably to bomb it. Do you know where it is?” ask the authors of the game, suggesting that players click on the map and pinpoint the city.
A fresh map then appears, showing you how many miles away from reality your answer is.
In general results show that people know the Syrian capital is located in the Middle East and close to the sea. The social media website usvsth3m.com, whose team created the game, said in an analysis released on Friday that "More than 50% of our players guessed within 200 miles."
However, government departments’ results were traced and yielded some worryingly inaccurate estimates.
“We . . . had 65 guesses from within the US Department of Defense,” revealed the statistics. “57% got it right at the DoD, compared to 64% in the [UK] Houses of Parliament [out of 139 guesses].”

Walaupun beberapa ahli parlimen British seolah-olah sengaja melibatkan dalam diri-sabotaj, meletakkan negara di tengah-tengah Lautan Atlantik Selatan, sebagai contoh, ia kelihatan seperti pekerja DOD telah membuat kesilapan sepenuhnya ‘Obliviously’.
“Penduduk di DOD tidak pergi untuk tempat-tempat yang terang-terangan salah, sebaliknya mereka masih meneka di seluruh Timur Tengah. Kami tidak fikir mereka bergurau, “kata laporan yang dikeluarkan pada Jumaat.
Walaupun ia mungkin sukar untuk menentukan bandar pada peta kosong, masih “hanya beberapa orang yang tahu” di mana Damsyik, menurut pencipta permainan. Walau bagaimanapun, sesetengah sengaja Hitam atau Kaspia Laut bukannya Laut Mediterranean sebagai menyentuh pantai itu.
“Kebanyakan fikirkan suatu tempat di Gurun Sahara, atau di negeri-negeri Balkan. Dua orang dipilih Siberia. Satu orang dipilih Texas. Mereka mungkin bergurau, “pasukan kami Vs Th3m menulis.
Secara keseluruhan, lebih daripada 100,000 orang memainkan permainan dengan masa laporan itu dikeluarkan, menurut angka mereka.
While some British lawmakers seemed to be engaging in deliberate self-sabotage, placing the country in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, for example, it looked like the DoD employees were making errors completely obliviously.
“The folks in the DoD haven’t gone for blatantly wrong places; instead they’re still guessing all over the Middle East. We don’t think they’re joking,” said the report released on Friday.
While it might be difficult to pinpoint a city on a blank map, still “quite a few people knew” where Damascus was, according to the game’s creators. However, some accidentally picked the Black or Caspian Seas rather than the Mediterranean Sea as touching its coastline.
“Many of these guessed somewhere in the Sahara Desert, or in the Balkan states. Two people picked Siberia. One person picked Texas. They were probably joking,” a team of Us Vs Th3m wrote.
In total, more than 100,000 people played the game by the moment the report was released, according to their figures.
