Give it a shot: guess where US states belong on the map. Itty-bitty New England states are tough to position.

Its the inland southern states and midwestern that screws up, as you have to be really close when you place the states.

Re: US Geography Game
Anyway, it's a very cool puzzle and very informative. I'd like to see how y'all Americans would do with Canada's 10 provinces and three territories.

GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Re: US Geography Game
On Holllllliiidayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Fellow green day fan.
I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog,There of which I stand alone,A face in the crowdUnsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know
Stepped out of the line,Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time,To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light, one mind,Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
A free for all,Screw 'em all
You are your own sight
I want to be the minority,I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority,I want to be the minority
Re: US Geography Game
90% 14 miles 230s
the game is finicky...
Re: US Geography Game
north dakota is easy, its states like colorado that are hard, when you have no other states in the area.
north dakota has a nice shaped northern border which you can line up.
thanks,

Re: US Geography Game
Interesting. But it's a bit touchy.
I got 39 out of 50. I should have had four or five more but the "game" decided that really damn close didn't count. I figure if I'm off by fifty miles on a whole state that should be good enough.
Anyway, it's a very cool puzzle and very informative. I'd like to see how y'all Americans would do with Canada's 10 provinces and three territories.
