Re: Know your States Game.

I love geography! 80% and average of 75 mile misses. I expect you yankees should be able to do a lot better. My knowledge of the east coast is pretty poor.

I got an 82% and average error of 42 miles. Does the error include time? It took me a while, but I was chatting online too. The East coast is tough. And it's hard when you start with Wyoming...it's a freakin square, it can go almost anywhere!

Re: Know your States Game.

I got an average of 84% with an average error of 22 miles. Yea Wyoming is hard with no other states to base if off of because its not on the coast or have any distinguishing features. RI is hard a second state too. with no other states to help

92% with an average error of 9 miles..
If you have to start in the plains, I would think your score would be MUCH worse.

Can't believe I was a hair off on Hawaii and they dinged me for it. Come on, it's by itself in the corner.

Score: 90%
Average Error: 36 Miles

Not bad since I haven't been in a Geography class in over 5 years, just forgot the exact position of 5 mid-western states.
