So, you think you know your states......?

This is an interesting game...

You ain't gonna believe this Doug, but I didn't get Montana. Missed it by 100 miles and got no points. I go to Montana way more often than I go to Saskatchewan or B.C...
Score was 72%, Av error was 144 miles, time was 520 seconds
The no brainers...Washington, California, Nevada, Texas, and the 2 freebees, Alaska and Hawaii undoubtably brought my score up.
And for you Kentucky boys, I was about a half inch out, close but no cigar.

Neat game. Score 90%, error was 23 miles in 356 seconds .

96%..average error 2 miles...346 secs..

I believe the order in which the states come up would greatly affect the score.
I.e.... Stacking in one area first as opposed to have to place a state in a larger area..

I would be willing to bet there are a bunch of folks in the US who would score lower than me on that test, however I'll get my butt kicked here, because BBF guys would undoubtably be more intelligent than the average person.
And I would have done way better on the time, but I didn't realise it was timed, and I spent quite a bit of it swearing at the moniter because I got so close but missed it. The worst ones for me are the eastern seaboard and southern states...never been there. Yet.

This game tells me I need a new mouse, It was telling me I was wrong before I even tried to move some of them, the smaller the state, the harder it was to not error.

Thats what it did to me and it also showed where the state was just when I stated to move it

94%, 22 miles, 311 seconds

After playing it about 10 times, I got my score down to 3 miles, and 294 seconds.I agree though, that eastern seaboard sucks...

it is a B#$ch when the north east has states the size of a shoebox

82%, 50 miles, 306 seconds.

88% 23 miles

94% , 16 miles, 408 seconds on my first try.
Couldn't believe a missed Kentucky

98% 1 mile 300 sec

Adam I don't know about you but where I grew up and went to school we had to learn the states and capitols and know where they were, and this was 50% of your semester exam
