Those New England states are messing with my time! lol

 

[WalkingintheFog]

I had 72%...
When I started, I thought I'd do okay, but then as it progressed, I thought, oh no.
So, I'm okay with 72%. Good educational tool tho! For kids and adults, American or not!

 

[Ohiodislover]

80% Not too good.

 

[NMAmy]

I got 84%. I have issues with the New England states, as well. My average error was only 30 miles, though, so I'm ok with my score.

 

[dbogen]

84% here also, with an average error of 60 miles. Funny thing is being from CT new england and the east coast was easy, it those darn midwestern states I messed up on.

 

[TnTsParty]

I agree - being from Florida the east coast states didn't trip me up as much as those mid west states. Guess I didn't pay too good of attention in school. LOL

 

[java]

88% average error 42 miles! 44 perfect

The midwest tricked me up it's hard if you don't have anything on the map and they give you Idaho.

Okay, on my second try I got 90% with an average error of 18 miles. For me, it all depends on which states I start with. For example, being from Louisiana and having lived in NC for a few years, if I start with either one of those (or anywhere close), I do much better. But if I have to start with the New England states, I won't do as well.

 

[lemondog]

86% with an average error of 33 miles. Not too shabby!

 

[Lintasare]

92%, avg error 10 miles.

 

[BCV513]

Those New England states are messing with my time! lol

Hey, we're easy! It's those midwestern states.

 

[Linda in sunny SC]

I got 94% with average error of 11 miles.

 

[Rora]

That was harder than I expected!

 

[ElleBren]

94% with an average of 8 miles. Did anyone have issue with Oregon? I was placing it where it went and it turned red. When I did it a second time it did the same thing, Maybe I just has a bad hold on the mouse.

 

[CruiserMom]

92%, 13 mile avg error, 46 out of 50 perfect.

Trust me, the only reason I did so well is that I've been helping DD11 study the locations of the states for the last month of school for her geography test!

 

[dejr_8]

90%, 26 miles, 319 seconds

 

[INDISMOM]

1st time 92% Avg error miles 11

2nd time 97% Avg error miles 2

Probably helps that I have been playing a geography game with the kids!

 

[monkey68]

The only one I didn't know was Iowa. I was something like 230 miles off from Iowa, I had no clue where it belongs. The rest of them were fine. And being from NY, the New England states didn' trip me up as much.

 

[DisneyFairytale]

I'll use the fact that I'm Canadian as an excuse but I know probably a dozen of your states, as to the exact location. I don't think most americans would have any clue as to where our provinces are
