How well do you know the locations of the U.S. States?

I got 100%, 50 correct, average error 11 miles, 300 seconds first try. Had I realized I was being timed, I could have sped it up.

How well can you do?

Not as good as you....
Score 78%
Avg Error 60 miles

I did terribly on my second try because the program is darn picky. If you get a lot of interior states to start with, it is a lot harder. If you are off by 50 miles with a big state, it calls it a "miss".

Score 86%,,,, Avg Error 33 miles ,,,, 372 seconds

96% ave error 3miles 191 seconds. I dont know how one gets 100% but has anything more than 0 miles for error.

Cute game

I'm off an average of 100 miles but I call foul - you have to try and get the little state down far enough that you can get it in place while you scroll down the map... If you drop the state and scroll down to where it belongs it counts it as an error.

My biggest true error was Hawaii - not had problems scrolling but I didn't know it was down there across from Mexico, I always thought it was just west of the Central Coast - learning experience!

A big monitor (and remembering to wear my reading glasses) should help reduce the error.

You learned the states and capitols of Germany in middle school? Impressive.

I suppose I didn't do too bad...considering I don't even live in USA. :lol:

Only did European countries in middle school but I personally learned all of Germany in freshman year. What can I say, I find WW2 stuff interesting so it was pretty much a prerequisite.
