From the website:
The best way to figure out how the game works is to simply play it.
The game works by showing you a series of geometries that need to be adjusted a little bit to make them right. A square highlights the point that needs to be moved or adjusted. Use the mouse to drag the blue square or arrowhead where you feel it is 'right'. Once you let go of the mouse, the computer evaluates your move, so don't let up on the mouse button until you are sure. The 'correct' geometry is also shown in green, so you can see where you went wrong.
You will be presented with each challenge three times. The table to the right shows how you did on each challenge each time.
Here are my scores:
The odd thing was I got worse in several categories as I played the game.

$5 Worth of Food
How much food can you buy for $5 around the world? (Personally, I've never considered beer to be a food, but *some* do, I suppose.)
Interesting look at the different food prices. I was surprised at the cheaper ground beef price in the U.K.

Stamp Out Fakes!
Did you know the Statue of Liberty depicted on the "forever" stamp issued by the U.S. Postal Service in 2010 wasn't the real statue, but the replica outside the New York, New York Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada?
The one on the left is the one on the stamp, the face of the replica in Vegas; the one on the right is the face on the real statue.

Sorry, RR. That's impossible.
To be fair, I bet he said this before internet forums and msg. boards were even dreamed of.
