1. not bad for someone who

has only lived here less than 5 years ..

I got 66% :(

that Eastern Seaboard gets me every time.

thanks for the fun game.

3. You're welcome!

My problem isn't the eastern seaboard. It's getting a state like Kentucky or Colorado or one of the interior states to start off... I'm usually 50 to 100 miles off when that happens.

22. My best score 100% in 158 seconds. But it took me a lot of Tries.

5. Tenneessee started me off wrong.

Then, West Virginia. Accidentally dropped Missouri. Did get a 94 percent though.

Thanks, this was fun! =)

6. 96%, 4 miles, 56 seconds

[Quixote1818]

8. 56 Seconds? That's a second per state? Hard to believe.

10. it helps when you start with florida

i've done that game before. the first time i did it today, i started with kentucky and missed it by a bit. This last time, Kentucky was third and i knew now exactly where to put it.

9. 82%, 50 mile error, in 529 seconds

I had to sneeze twice, which took some time away. :-)

Not bad for a Canuck, eh?

11. 90%, 35 miles avg error, 317 seconds

I would've done better but I have a new mouse and I clicked accidentally about 4 times.

12. Great game to teach pre-teens a "fun" way to learn more about the USA.

I sent this on to 3 of my grandchildren.

[inslee08]

13. 94%, 8 mile average, 250 seconds

I'll take it.

[maveric]

14. Its not fiar to start off with Missouri, Nebraska or West Virginia!

Damn landlocked states!

[latteromden]

15. 100%, 175 seconds - started with Wyoming. :P

Fun stuff.

16. great score

:kick:

[auntAgonist]

17. geez all these good scores

now I feel bad :(

[Quixote1818]

20. The people getting bad scores probably are not posting

[auntAgonist]

21. perhaps , It's just that ...

I just figured I didn't do too badly since I was relatively new to the USA. As a Canadian, I think I know more about Geography and Politics in the USA than a lot of Americans do about Canadian Geography and politics. It seems that 'Canada' isn't taught in American schools, USA is taught in Canadian schools. A lot of American people can't even name past Prime Ministers (or current) of Canada.

yikes.. I didn't mean to rant :)

:hi:
