How well do you know your states?
 

See how all you formidable travelers do with this test. I've taken it twice...first time with a score of 88% and average error of 14 miles, 2nd time with a 92% but average error of 15 miles. This little bit of fluff is an interesting and quick diversion in your day, and guess what--there ARE NO RED NOR BLUE STATES!! LOL

That was fun. I had a 97% with 4 mile average error and it took 144 seconds. I have always been a geography nerd and I guess it shows now, eh?

First time 92% accuracy with average error 15 miles. Fun!

Thanks for the link, OO.

92% first time, but average 20 miles off. I missed Missouri and Maryland bigtime!

Fun!

But my daughter was trying to help :)

I pride myself on US geography and I got a 88% 14 miles and 274 seconds. Not bad but I wasn't rushing.

90% with an average error of 14 miles. I think I really sunk myself with Colorado. It was one of the first states I got in the game and I didn't have any reference points - I was off by almost 400 miles - oops!

90% accuracy error 15 miles.

This was such fun for me - a geography buff - even though I dropped Massachusetts when my mouse ran off the pad!! Only had trouble with Utah. I sent it to my all kids who are geography challenged. Can't wait to hear what they say. Thanks for the diversion. :-)

I dropped two states with my mouse. Do they penalize you for that?

I thought Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, and California were the hardest states to place.:-D

88%, 17 mile error, 169 seconds. But I would have done better if North Dakota wasn't my first state. I had some of the state right, but a lot in Montana.

Fun, I'll try it again later to see if I 'improve'.

You guys are great! The order you get the states in really does make a difference in your score of course. Then too, the first time I did it I didn't realize right away that they were telling me WHAT state I had. My first was one of those ubiquitous little rectangles so not only was I trying to figure out what it was, but where to put it. :)

Glad to see there are others who got a kick out of this. I was afraid I was going to be ground under someone's heel for introducing pap!

90% and 20 mile error for me. Not as good as some of you guys but not bad considering I'm from the UK.

Delaware was my big error. Not sure why I didn't really know roughly where that one was.

Great, I lost to a Brit. Now I feel dumb.

94%, 9 miles, 305 sec. I now have gotta beat myself.

That was SO neat! I won't tell you what my score was - I'm an ignorant Canadian - but you might get a laugh out of the fact that my average error was 107 miles. Hmmm... looks like I need to do a little homework. :)

92% 24 miles 289 secs--I kept dropping them as I was trying to drag them over to their places. That's what happens when you use a laptop!!!

I'd love to see one for Europe or much more difficult for me-- Africa!!

Don't feel bad, Meesthare. I'd hate to think what I'd score in a similar game for Canada, with, what, only 10 provinces and two territories?
