The hardest state for me is always Kentucky for some reason. And Colorado never seems like it should be as far south as it is.

second quiz: 98% / 11 miles / 300 seconds

Colorado was the hardest for me. I had it too far north and west on both quizzes.

only had time for the first one... 74% (37 perfect), avg error of 43 miles, 576 seconds (work called :) i'll send you the screen capture, dev :)

And Colorado never seems like it should be as far south as it is.

never met anyone who isn't from colorado who doesn't feel this way. i think it is because we associate it with winter sports we assume it should be further north.

First: 76 Percent. 25 Miles.
Second: Too burned out to try.

I noticed ne big problem though. There was no Recycle Bin icon for dragging Texas into.

The bodies of water and constant states help a lot on the second test.

Try Europe or Africa and really show American understanding of world geography....

my scores for Asia were much higher than my scores for the USA. i just thought you'd like to know that i am not totally hopeless.

Got Colorado okay, but perhaps because I spend most summers there and tend to put it south where it belongs. Wyoming is easier if you've got Colorado. Now, off to be humbled by Africa and Europe.

American Ignorance, your links don't work for some reason. I see them in blue text, but they're not underlined, and when I click them, nothing happens.

Alon, here is the page of Asian geography games; the European one is here.

First: 80%, 23 miles - really hard to place the non-coastal states without having any landforms shown in the interior. Time was 566 sec because I was interrupted. Second: 100%, no errors, 364 sec. I managed to get all four of the Four Corners states lined up correctly on the first one.

Only took the first quiz and got 70%. If the map included a few rivers it would have been easier. I know what is on either side of the Mississippi. It would have help with Kansas and Missouri.

I also put Colorado much too far north.

34%, average error 394 miles, 671 seconds
84%, 374 seconds

All right for a Brit, I suppose. It's those rectangular states in the middle that are difficult to get. And the little fiddly ones in the Northeast. And who knew that Rhode Island isn't actually an island?
