I ended up with a score of 50% correct (25 right)

All you have to do is place the state by dragging and dropping onto the correct location on the blank US map.

Score - 92% (Average error - 19 mi)

It was difficult to guess the exact location of Utah, Kansas and Missouri because they were asked early on when I only roughly guessed the location. I wonder why I missed PA.

74% -It was difficult to put them in the exact spots in the beginning. Plus those New England states are tricky. :p

scored 73% first try, about half the errors I'd placed the state just a few pixels off the mark...
Second try 85%, same thing (and there I got all those midwestern states first, having to place them in the middle of nowhere with pixelperfect precision).

and I've never had US geography beyond New Amsterdam and Washington
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

My sister just did it and got 90% with an average error of 17 miles. She must have paid more attention in geography class than me :cheesy:

Cool quiz of U.S. geography but a tad picky in regards to exact pixel placement. I have been to almost every state in the Union but still end up not placing my own home state of Ohio correctly. :lol:
