[Harrington]

There was a similar game posted a while back with a map of Europe.

Sorry.

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, uh, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.

Meh.

[indy500fan]

20 miles

 

173 seconds

 

 

 

Started with some mid country ones with absolutely nothing around them.

[Diesel]

Got a 92.15, but my average mistake was only 7 miles away.

 

It's kinda hard to judge where some of the Mid-west/North-west states are exactly without a referance. Prime example - Wyoming

[Nom]

Lol, I'm on a laptop so it's kinda hard to drag things, kept accidentally dropping them miles away. Got in the 80's. Would have done better with a mouse, of course.

[Lionheart_0]

I tried three and didnt bother after that.

 

 

 

I'm Canadian, and we aren't taught American geography at the level I took it at.

 

 

 

I can tell you where:Texas, Louisiana, California, Alaska, Florida, and new york state is.

[Rcty]

I got an 86 in about 250 seconds.

 

 

 

I know the general vacinity of each state (on a blank map, exactly where they are on a map of states), but when a blank map is given to me, it's a bit overwhelming, especially with the middle states. However, once I have something to relate to, I do notably better.

Failed because I couldn't find America. :(

I did it on my laptop. :? I didn't have much trouble at all.

Yes, Master.

[ThurinEthir]

94.11-10 Miles-141 Seconds

 

 

 

I started with Utah and Nebraska. My average error at that point was around 141 miles. :lol:

 

 

 

And I knew all the states and their capitals when I was five. And I moved here from Taiwan when I was four. :-s

 

I was quite surprised in 5th grade when I was the only person in my class that knew all 50 states.

 

(And I'm pretty sure there's a version where you have to place the capitals as well. If I find it, I'll post it)

 

 

 

Edit - Didn't find that one yet, but found this one. Might be easier for some of you, might be harder for others. :

 

 

 

I got 90.71 - 8 Miles - 171 Seconds

 

Guess I'm one of the "harder" people.

 

 

 

Edit 2 - Got it!

 

Here

 

I screwed up on pretty much everything west of the original 13 colonies.

 

62% - 26 Miles - 140 Seconds

[The Real ET]

88.23% and average wrong of 16 miles. The only one I really didn't know was Rhode Island. The others were lag or just cause I wasn't "exact".

[Necromagus]

76~, with a 92 mile average error.

[Barihawk]

82, New England has always screwed me up. If they did one with Capitals I would do good, though.

[runescapeloser22]

Wow, I'm feel dumb now #-o

That was what I was thinking when I saw the topic :lol:

I don't remember what I did wrong, I think it was Missouri, which was like my second(I still landed in its about area, but about isn't good enough). Plus it wasn't the wonderful American education system( :lol: ) that taught me the locations of the USA, I went to a private grammar school and as my own fun reading was always something of history :P(American history is pretty dang boring though when you compare it with another country's history).
