[Maestro]

2. Show off!

Those damned New England states screwed me up.

[Cuban_Liberal]

15. I cheated--- I had a state puzzle as a kid.

From the time I can first remember, we had this wooden 'US States' puzzle, and my sisters would play 'schoolteacher' and make me put it together, since I was always the 'student'. I could do it in my sleep nowadays, I think.

:)

18. That's not really cheating...is it?

We have to learn somehow. :) I did ok on this, but it is a pretty touchy map. If you are 10 miles off it takes away points.

[LDS Jock]

32. 100%, error of 0 miles 220 seconds.. check the screen shot

[Cuban_Liberal]

[LDS Jock]

[Sporadicus]

3. Score: 94%; Avg Error: 7 Miles; Time: 322 Secs n/t

[Kellanved]

Those rectangular states were my problem.

[underpants]

5. 94% 17 miles 378 seconds of my life gone

I got tripped up on Kansas

[Bill McBlueState]

6. try the advanced version!

This one is hard!

[skygazer]

11. Wow, no kidding

It's tough to place them when you have no reference. 60% with an error margin of 61 miles. 30 perfect out of 50.

[yellowdogintexas]

26. much harder!

placing the interior is very tricky although I nailed some that surprised me

[norml]

29. 46%, 48 miles, 375 seconds

Since I knew it was timed I went faster.

[LDS Jock]

30. much harder 44/50 perfect, average error 8 miles

[terrya]

7. 88% eom

[Lydia Leftcoast]

8. 96% with an average error of 4 miles

I knew where all the states were, but it was impossible to place Iowa and Oklahoma correctly with no surrounding states in place or geographical features shown.

[Longgrain]

9. Piece of cake

100%, lost some time tho...I just couldn't find Alaska anywhere!

[skygazer]

10. 96% with an average error of 9 miles

Would have been perfect but I put Kansas down about 82 miles west of where it goes - had nothing to guage it off of. I had 49 out of 50 perfect.

[supernova]

12. 90% averaage error 16 miles

:D This is a cute game. :D

Although, I claim two more correct answers than it counted b/c I dropped the state by accident before I was ready to.

[yellowdogintexas]

25. hand cramp got me, I did the same thing

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

13. 82... 38 miles

I suck, :D

I know the perimeters of the entire country, the east coast, etc... i have the four corners down too... but those other states in the midwest, I have trouble with :D

[supernova]

14. It would help

if they all weren't so square! :crazy: In more ways than one. :D

[Cobalt Violet]

16. 92% 9mile error 304 seconds.

That damn dinky RI fell of my cursor. Of course I know where it is. It's my neighbor.

[aQuArius]

17. 98% 3 mile error, Kansas was the 2nd one placed...

and I was just barely off, not too bad I guess. Its hard to place those land-locked states exactly right when you have nothing to go by. It all depends on the order they give them to you.

[Donkeyboy75]

19. 92% average error 10 miles 253 seconds

Starting out with the plains states is just plain mean :evilfrown:

[LSdemocrat]

20. 94%, 4 mile error, 324 seconds

[claudiajean]

21. 96%, 3 mile error rate, 231 seconds.

I had the hardest time with two squarish inland red states early on in the game. Knowing where a state is didn't seem to translate to being able to plunk it down precisely within the borders when there were no other states around to align it with.

It got much easier to achieve precision in the drag and drop as the game progressed and borders were more visible

[nuxvomica]

22. 92% avg error: 18 miles time: 227 seconds

My big mistake was putting Wyoming on the Canadian border. That was fun. Thanks for posting.

[eSTIV]

23. 88% Avg.Error= 27mi time= 674sec

88% Avg.Error= 27mi time= 674sec

[Pithlet]

24. 96% average 10mile error

It would have been better, but my elbow got bumped by one of my kids while I was trying to place Kansas. I'm using a touchpad on a laptop.

[norml]

27. 96%, within 4 miles, about 550 seconds

I was farthest off with my first placement, Colorado.

[GOPisEvil]

28. 88%, 14 miles average error of placement.

[EstimatedProphet]

31. 98% with an average error of 1 mile

I was just a hair too far off on one state

[proud2BlibKansan]

33. 96%

11 mile error average.

I teach this stuff. I should have scored 100%.

[Left Is Write]

34. Score 88%; Average Error 22 Miles; 312 seconds

[proud2BlibKansan]

36. Please don't tell

I only scored 96%. I am considered a 'highly qualified teacher' under NCLB guidelines and I would hate to have anyone know I didn't score 100% since I do teach US Geography.
