[pokerfan]

8. delete

[Richardo]

9. I don't know - I'm filing a protest

:(

[pokerfan]

11. I guess the percentage is not an aggregate

[Richardo]

12. What do you mean?

:shrug:

[pokerfan]

13. The percentage is how many times you didn't have to reposition

You get docked two percentage points for every miss.
How much you missed by is averaged out at the end.
And of course, the clock is running.

So the total score is a combination of all three.

[Richardo]

14. Got it.

[bigwillq]

6. 82 percent

39 miles 272 seconds

[Ava]

10. 94% average error 6 miles

214 secs

i suck at the mid western states, lol

[mwooldri]

15. 96% 4 miles 205 secs on attempt #2.

But it sucks when you get a state that just looks like a bloody rectangle. Where does it go?

Mark.

[pokerfan]

25. I look at the name to determine whether it's Colorado or Wyoming

It's usually one or the other. :)

[RoyGBiv]

16. 98% 1 Miles 190 seconds

[falcon97]

17. Nobody can put OK in exactly without TX in place!! n/t

[Phentex]

32. I was pretty close after I got one or two in place...

OK came later in the quiz so it wasn't too hard. Having to stick some of them in place without any borders was rough. But once you've got a few, it isn't so bad.

[billyskank]

18. This should be funny.

Back in a moment.

[billyskank]

19. 88% average error 55 miles

Better than I expected.

[EFerrari]

lol

[XemaSab]

20. Average error 3 miles

:bounce:

[Dark]

21. 96 percent, 7 miles, 386 seconds.

It's hard, cause it's so easy to put it just off target

[jeff30997]

22. 82% 75 miles 817 seconds

I stink! But if I had known that there was a clock running I would have been nervous and the

result would have been even worst.

[XemaSab]

23. Africa wasn't as hard as I expected

Mexican states kicked my ass. :(

[jeff30997]

26. For the U.S State Capitals I got 42/50 .

I used to know them all without multiple choices.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

31. 50/50, 178 seconds.

I rock.

[PVnRT]

27. Goddamn fucking Wyoming

Third state I got. How the hell do you place that square without context?

96%, 4 miles, 172 seconds

[skooooo]

28. 90% ---- 13 miles --- 452 seconds

[Tommy_Carcetti]

29. Effing South Dakota

I guess I should have looked up when it said South Dakota, cause I wasn't sure if it was North or South Dakota and I put it in the North.

Also got Tennesee a bit off target early in the game when there weren't any states around to reference it to.

Still, 96%, 7 mile error, 327 seconds. Not too bad.

[racaulk]

30. Kicking so I can find this later.

The fucking firewall at my office has that site blocked. :(

[arcadian]

33. 98% 2 miles 487 secs

They gave me Kansas when I had a lot of open area out there.

[MsTryska]

34. 92% Avg Error 17 mi time 360 seconds

that was fun.

[trackfan]

35. 48-50 96% 3miles 257seconds

[grace0418]

36. 96% and ave. 11 miles on my second attempt. It really depends on what states they

give you first. My first attempt they gave me no border states at first. I would get the right general area but not perfect.

[cemaphonic]

37. 96/11

First two were Kentucky and Colorado. Bastards.

[EFerrari]

38. Because of you, I stayed up for hours getting carpal tunnel.

lol

What a great site! I sent the link to my brother. He's got three goils under 14. They'll love it.

[quakerboy]

39. level 9 was more fulfilling

I got the same score on it as i did on the original posted one. 86% on the first try.

[mwooldri]

40. Thank you for posting this link.

Seriously!

The main site is something I probably wouldn't have found on my own. It's got some nice puzzle games on there, one of which kept me at work 2 hours after I actually finished working. Had I not looked at the clock and said "eeks! 5AM?" I would probably be still on line playing it now. I have to be home by 5:30am... that's when my wife gets up to go to work. And stir my son up at 6:30 am... to go to school. (I don't normally finish work until between 1am and 3am, depending on workload and my day).

Mark.

[XemaSab]
