26/50. Avg error 152 miles. I'll be deep in my cold cold grave before I recognise missoura!

25/50, ave error 200 miles.

at least i got all of New England right, and that's the only part i really know. and i got my ave error spot on 200 miles, which is much better than actually getting close.

― Lee F# (fsharp), Friday, 22 April 2005 08:32 (twenty years ago)

28/50, average error 136 miles. it's REALLY harsh! I got most of them to at least overlap with the actual locations. apart from Missouri, yes, and already I've forgotten where it is again.

Idaho stayed on my map but none of the others did, so it seems a bit buggy - or maybe it's cos my Idaho was over 1000 miles out!

― $V£N! (blueski), Friday, 22 April 2005 09:26 (twenty years ago)

Even Americans get the ones in the middle wrong! 39/50, avg error 33 miles.

36/50, 40 miles. It really doesn't have a big margin of error, does it?

― the krza (krza), Friday, 22 April 2005 11:08 (twenty years ago)

I'm pretty bad at this. I could easily put them all into place relative to each other, but on pure geography I'm not doing very well.

this map sucks. minnesota and south dakota are NOT that far east.

― my friend flicka (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 22 April 2005 12:42 (twenty years ago)

37/50, 22 miles, which I'm very pleased with - being 88 miles out on Kansas, for instance, still seems a good performance without any geographical features or other states to help.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 22 April 2005 12:42 (twenty years ago)

I was totally rubbish at this one - too embarrassed to tell you my score. Too many straight edges!

i did pretty well on this (as i should, being an american) -- most of my "wrong" answers were only a few miles off.

South Dakota? See that's the problem, innit... where exactly do all those big rectangluar states go?

54%, 94 miles.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 22 April 2005 13:31 (twenty years ago)

Placing the landlocked interior states is fucking ridiculous. This game is dumb. So was "Malta" on the other one.

― TOMBOT, Friday, 22 April 2005 14:04 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Malta tripped me up there. But I could have sworn it was closer to Tunisia!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 22 April 2005 14:05 (twenty years ago)

27/50, 148 miles. I completely screwed up Idaho - and I can't believe I failed to spot a couple of coastlines. More detail please!

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Friday, 22 April 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

82%, 41/50 states, average error 22 miles (I knew where they are obviously, but it's just difficult to place some of those big Western interior states), 291 secs.

AE 16 miles BITCHETH!

― Bnad, Friday, 22 April 2005 14:30 (twenty years ago)

i can't get anything to move on the map. certain there is flash on this machine as it's my boyfriend's super fancy website-making film-editing mac.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Friday, 22 April 2005 14:38 (twenty years ago)

Man is that thing ever unforgiving about exact placement. I got 30/50 with avg. error of 67 miles.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Friday, 22 April 2005 14:40 (twenty years ago)

36 Perfect, 31 Mile Error.

Now, if there had been rivers on the map, at the very least the Mississippi, I could've nailed this fucker.

I missed my homestate of Arkansas by 41 miles, but got West Virginia dead-on somehow. They should've had a seperate screen for Hawaii where the background is completely blue and you have to stick the islands where they belong.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 22 April 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

I R a retard. I was grabbing the wrong thing. 58%, 161 avg miles. :( I was most wrong about Vermont. Waaayy wrong.

Not on the west coast like you thought, eh?

35 perfect with a 28 mile av error. not bad for an australian, right?

A friend of mine swears up and down that florida is located directly south of california and absolutely refuses to listen or look at anything that might betray that belief. its pretty cute, actually.

― katharine (katharine), Friday, 22 April 2005 15:15 (twenty years ago)

average error: 13 miles, HO!

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 22 April 2005 15:56 (twenty years ago)

HAHA! Katharine, that's fantastic. If that were really the case then I could actually walk to California in six hours. Instead, I'm just thirty minutes' driving distance from Georgia. Meh. How disappointing.

I suck! But, it's actually better than I thought I'd do.

I swear that thing is not proportional. When I was placing Oregon on the map, I almost put it too far down because I thought Washington wouldn't fit in the remaining space.
