Where were the FA cut finals held between 2001 and 2005 while Wembley was being rebuilt?

If you said Cardiff you’d still have 1,000 miles on your clock in Google’s new fun trivia game based on Google Maps called Smarty Pins.

The free game starts the player with 1,000 miles and asks them to put a pin in a spot on the map the answers a trivia question. The questions range from the easy to the devilishly hard and cover a whole range of categories including arts, science, geography, sports, entertainment and history, plus rotating featured topics which currently covers the World Cup.

Answer incorrectly and the game deducts miles from your odometer corresponding to how far as the crow flies from the correct answer the player placed the pin. Fast, correct answers earn up to 15 extra miles to keep the player’s journey going longer. When the odometer hits zero it’s game over.

The game is a surprisingly fun time waster, even if geography isn’t your strong suit and those that do well can share their scores via Twitter, Facebook or Google+.
