Test your knowledge of US geography

Cool little animated test found here. Drag and drop the states where they go in the map. My score? 90%, average error of 15 miles and 291 seconds. However, if you start with a lot of central states first, the odds are good that you'll have some distance errors because you can't dead reckon ALL of them.

That was fun! I got 96% and a 5 mile error--if they'd started me with something coastal instead of Kansas, I think I would've aced it!

Darn. 6 mile error and 288 seconds. Guess I need to practice. Cool test though.

That was fun. I hardly got any right, but I knew roughly where 90% of the states should go. Which isn't bad considering I don't live in any of them.

Strangely enough, I got Ohio bang on...

98% with 2 mi avg error 302 sec (Delaware threw me big time). I could not believe how close I got (30 mi) placing Kansas with no southern or mid-west states placed yet. I was sweating it (pressure pressure). Thanx for the link. I enjoyed it.
