5. 315seconds, avg error 26 miles 46 perfect out of 50 turns 92%
And part of that is because I tried to put So Dakota where No Dakota is and I dropped Missouri in the middle of the upper midwest because my hand cramped on the mouse!

I love geography

16. 82%, 73 miles off - considering I've ataxia, I did a darn good job.
I did get many more matches but I was a teensy bit too far off for the computer to comprehend. :eyes:

But I did miss a few, though I was always in the general neighborhood. :D
