47 perfect out of 50 (94%)
Average error: 11 miles
Time: 236 seconds.

The first couple weren't perfect (especially Wyoming which is near impossible on a blank map), but from there they fit like puzzle pieces. Cool game! :thumb:

I was actually able to place a lot more than I expected. I knew the general area of many states, but didn't get a lot of them, because they weren't dead on. But I was within a few miles with some.

I managed a stunning 36 out of 50. I'd never heard of half of these places. I'd always assumed New Jersey was a made up location. :wink:

We did American geography when I was at school, and I totally flunked. I'm afraid you really need to live in a smaller country.

Hey that is very cool! Who knew Delaware was so teeeny? I got a humbling 62% the first time, and 80 the second. Messed up Vermont big time, both times for some reason. :doh: And Nebraska was tough. Somewhere in the middle was all I could guess.

Great fun, I'm going to keep working on this! Thanks, Apple

it's really the luck of the draw...if you get a lot of coastal states first, you have a better shot of placing the interior states without being off by miles.

My second score was 98 percent 49 out of 50 perfect and avg error of 2 miles in 215 seconds. The first go round, my first two states out of the chute were Wyoming and Tennessee, so I had some catching up to do from eyeballing my pacement of those two. If you get Washington, Illinois and N. Carolina early in the game, you're home free.

Heh, you Brits did pretty good actually. Well not you MP. :tsktsk:

I wonder how well all us Americans would do if we had to put together, say, the provinces(?) of Mexico. I'm hoping they're provinces anyways.

I suspect the Counties of Great Britain would be a real challenge.
