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!

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. 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. 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. ![]() 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. |
