This is harder than you might think....at least for me it was!

Good one

52% 121 Miles 263 Secs

That is a good one alright! I expected it to be the old put a name to the state puzzle.

98% 1 mile ?? seconds

I only missed Iowa and that's really embarrassing considering I lived in the Chicago area for 10 years. I knew *about* where it went but was off by a bit.

80% 75 miles 500 secs

74% 116 miles 472secs.

Definitely not a snap! (but great)

78% 102 Miles. A lot better than what I expected I would do.

Sigbjoern

100%, 0 miles, 30 sec.

I've also got some waterfront/back/side/bottom land in southern FL for sale along with a bridge in Brooklyn :laughing:. I'm also having a clearance sale on some ocean front (as soon as the next big one hits) property in Utah.

84% 37 miles 474 seconds

86%, 81 miles, 337 seconds (but I had to explane what I was doing to my wife:naughty: )

86%, 51 miles, 303 seconds. Not bad for a Canuck!

Lining up the state with the coastline or previous states helped a lot. So I
look smarter than I am

Yeah, Texas, Oregon, New Jersey, Michigan, Minnesota and Louisana were easy. Florida and Alaska were REALLY easy!

Hey, I'll give you full marks. I know that there are 10 Provinces and 3 territories in Canada...but I'd be hard pressed to name them all let alone put 'em in the right place!

Here too Greg! I got lucky on the order I got the states. There were some that I would have missed for sure if I didn't have other states filled in around them.

To be fair I should probably take the test again. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Like that's gonna happen!

That was interesting!

47 out of 50 correct
Avg error 17 miles in 486 seconds.

Not at all what I expected

Damn you Steve for posting the link, this was way to addictive.

My best so far: 100% 178seconds

Sigbjoern

90% 17 miles 515 seconds.

Neat game.

I did it a second time and did a little better. But it does depend on
the order they pop up. If some of the non-costal states show up first
it is very hard to place them with enough accuracy even if you know
where they (roughly) go. Too bad the Mississippi river isn't on the map
to help with east/west alignment.

I'm a pretty smart guy, so people laugh when I say I failed Geography, but I think this proves it's true!

Anyway, after being embarassed about having the worst score up above, I tried again.
Round 2:
66% 108 Miles 244 Secs

*EDIT*
Woohoo! Now I think I have *both* of the lowest scores.

Now do you know why my GPS is my favorite piece of portable electronic gear?

Humliated
