I've 'improved' to best score 92%, 9 mile error in 154 seconds.

First time back, I had to place Oklahoma first, worse than my first go round. Had a score of 94%, 17 mile error in 183 seconds for putting Oklahoma in Kansas and Arkansas.

I think I would do okay with Canadian prov/terr, but would fail miserably for states of Mexico.

I despair as well, Meesthere.
I have a splint on the index finger
of my mouse hand-
talk about the "new" America!!
Those poor states were just
slippin' and slidin'out into
the ocean and
Canada and the plains...
Oh,it sure was fun anyway, OO!

Took four tries and a couple lucky guesses to score 100%.

100%, O miles, 1111 seconds. I may have an advantage because I have produced maps and graphic designs for many years. Rhode Island and other small states are the hardest to place because the curser nearly covers up the whole state.

NJ was the very last - small wonder - when I was a child in the late 40's Southern NJ was still a nice place to live - many working farms, great local produce and no subdivisions between Haddonfield and Brigantine.

90% with 17 mi error. I missed 2 state by a wide margin but 3 others by a small # and then the other 45 were perfect. It was fun!

94% 6 miles 277 seconds.

Kansas was my first state. I agonized quite a while where to put it.

Fodorite018 Nov 8th, 2004 12:26 PM

Fun! I was at 86% and average error of 21 miles. Will need to try that again.

Way to go, jor!

They gave me Rhode Island FIRST.

Scarlett Nov 8th, 2004 12:39 PM

88% and I was so sure I knew where everything went :(
Kentucky got me!

GoTravel Nov 8th, 2004 12:49 PM

Aren't we all productive today? I've done it four times and only once beaten my original score. Rats!

indie Nov 8th, 2004 01:01 PM

This was fun..I did better than I thought

88% 31 miles :)


FainaAgain Nov 8th, 2004 01:05 PM

It won't let me in without installing some micromedia program. For me as a foreigner probably 50% would be great :)

SAB, here is Europe: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/European_Geography.htm

Score of 90% avg. error of 22 miles in 192 seconds. Lots of fun!

rb_travelerxATyahoo Nov 8th, 2004 01:17 PM

A fun diversion. 92% 9mi 511 sec.
First few hurt me big time... trying to figure out just how far east/west Montana is with no other states yet on the board to guage by, and it got easier & easier as the map filled in. It could be made a LOT tougher if we had to place each state on an empty US without the relationship to other states so apparent. Guess I'll try again. Thanks for the link, OO.

98%
1 mile avg error
318 secs

That was fun! On my first try I got 80% percent right with an average error of around 30 miles.
