54. Isn't it a requirement in fifth grade? That's when I learned to draw it.
I just pulled out a piece of scratch paper and did it now. I haven't really thought about all the states for decades. I missed Maryland but got the rest in their right places although the borders were accurate.

It's cool to see Al do it so well,but I think most everyone can do it.If a Federal employee can't, then they should not be hired.
