How well do you know your states?

My mom got this in an email and sent it to me.

They give you the state and its name and you have to put it where it goes on the map.
On my first try I got an 84% with a 45 mile error average.
On my second go I got a 98% with a 7 mile error average.

Whew.. 88% and 36 miles.. not bad for a legal alien.

Falkirion · 01-28-2009, 04:33 PM

Not bad for an Aussie. 82% avg error 91 miles. Okay second round same score but a 52 mile error this time

Neal Stevens · 01-28-2009, 04:46 PM

I got Texas and Florida right!

We have a state named Minnesota? I always thought that was football city!

Avg score 90%/Avg error 21 miles/ time 361 seconds

How the hell am I supposed to know where Rhode Island is without the surrounding states?

I got RI on my first try by looking at it and then the map. If you look there is a U on the side where a river starts and this same U can be found on the map.

96% and 7 miles average error.

A Very Super Market · 01-28-2009, 05:47 PM

90% Avg Error: 14 miles Time: 275 seconds

Did I beat any Americans?

Honestly, the game screws you over with Kansas and Arkansas. In the middle of the map...

Letum · 01-28-2009, 06:39 PM

92% first try
89% second try :hmm:

How odd.

Still, Did I beat any 'merkins?

I was lucky and didn't get them till late on my first try.
By the second try I had remembered them, but the first threw me off a little.

Digital_Trucker · 01-28-2009, 06:57 PM

Yep, y'all beat at least one 'merican. 80% 80 mile avg error. Guess that's why they gave me a map with my truck:rotfl:

Edit. That ain't fair, I got the middle states right off the bat

Sailor Steve · 01-28-2009, 06:59 PM

86%, 32 miles.

Exactly! If you get a lot of the central states first, even if you know them you can't get them right.
