I got 46 out of 50 right. Only one did I get obviously wrong, others were off by 50 miles or so. My average error was 13 miles for a score of 92% in 335 seconds. Only because a co-worker had something for me to do. Bastard wrecking my score :lol: Only got 48 wrong that time! Stupid Kansas. Stupid Nevada... Oh I'll beat this game! |
44 purfect
88%, 42 mile average error 382 seconds Not bad for a Canadian;) |
Luck plays a big part too.... It helps to get those border states first ;)
And that's not bad at all... for a Canadian :p |
Might've helped that my Dad is a Geographer - in the blood?
49/50 98% Average error: 6 miles 246 Seconds It really helps if the states are presented in an order to help guide the next one. ie: Connecticut before Rhode Island. My only error was on the first state - Colorado. It's hard to place it without any near-by states to help zero it in. |
It's really hard when you get a middle state first... Like Kansas. It's impossible to get that right with nothing near it!
|
This really isnt as easy as it looks...specially when you're starting out with a blank map and you have to place CT as your first state
I got Score 82% Ave Error 39 miles Time 304 seconds (I got intereupted twice) |
The mid-west states get me (when I have nothing to border them to). I can get pretty much everything on the east coast pretty easily.
|
this was fun. got 44. I thought I knew where Maryland is located.
|
45 out of 50, but.... i accidentally dropped a couple before i had them in place. :(
so it should've been 47 out of 50 technically. some of those middle western states snagged me though. quickly found out that <i>close</i> ain't good enough. :lol: |
50/50
not bad for an AUSSIE! now, lets do some other countries. i don't a know a lot about mexican and canadian states/provinces. |
ok, so to prove to myself 50/50 wasn't a fluke, i tried again... but this time the first state to drop in was that strange and somehow rectangular state, Wyoming...
ended up with 48/50 this time. |
96%, 48 out of 50, avg error 4 miles
|
well since I'm aussie I had to cheat. I got 50/50
|
score 90%
avg error 16 miles 268 sec yes it help to get some of the out states first. i had a real hard time with Michigan and Texas. jk |
96% 48/50
Avg error 4 miles 268 sec It gave me Colorado early so I had to guess where to plop it down on the map. And I also missed Deleware. But c'mon, is Deleware really a state? |
Cool-90% avg error-14 miles and done in 249 sec.

I got 86% (43/50) Avg Error 104miles. I knew all the 'wimpy, puny states' were in the North-East somewhere. The rest just fell into place. |
Ok, everybody take note!
From now on, Virginia and Kentucky have switched places. That is all. :D |
94% 14 miles 360 seconds -- i didn't know I was being timed! One wrong, sorry colorado.
|
Great find Averett. I'm now hooked on geography quizzes.
There's a few European and rest of the world quizzes on the same site. Europe, advanced beginner level. (I got 100% in 150 seconds) Europe, Intermediate level. (I got 64% in 360 seconds) |
43. My first three states were Kentucky, Rhode Island, and Wyoming. I was screwed badly from the start.
|
Oh man... I'll suck ass on the Europe one. But grrr.. I actually have work to do today. It'll have to wait.
|
72%...........thanx Av that was fun
|
Damn... That European one kicked my ass. 34/44 152 miles margin of error and 77% accuracy.
There were some countries I didn't even know :( Here's the whole website: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/ They have an advanced US version, where only one state is visible at a time. Hard! |
46/50, 92% 15 miles margin of error, 236 seconds. had to lead off with Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota, did well after that. Fun times!

Did pretty well in Europe too, 39/44, 89%, 41 miles margin of error, 277 seconds. The biggest country I got wrong was Moldova. But DAMN ALL THOSE LITTLE DOT COUNTRIES!
-Mikey |
well, I Texas and Cali and Alaska right... I am dumb.
|
US: 94% 13 miles 283 seconds
Europe: 38/44 Avg. error 56 miles pct correct 86% 300 seconds Never heard of FYROM. |

Got a 92% with avg 10 mile error on the US one, 340 seconds. I did better than I thought I would on the east coast states - it doesn't help that I've never been that far northeast. I was lucky to get Hawaii, Oregon, Texas, and Wisconsin in the first states.

49 of 50, < 1 mile error. I forgot that Nebraska has that little strip of boder with Missouri to the southeast, so I was off by 50 miles there. False confidence from getting Ohio, Montana and Utah as the first three.
