Can You Place the 50 States?


I found this game humbling. Click here to begin playing. Beware, you have to be RIGHT ON with your placement in order to get it correct. I was close several times and even way off on a few. Oh well. I would be a good patsy for "Jay Walking".

My Stats:
• 40 perfect out of 51 turns
• Score: 78.43
• Average Error: 29 miles
• Time: 404 seconds

How did you do?

Too fun! I loved it I think I got 46 or 47 out of 50 perfect. My score was 88.23, an error of 14 miles on average and finished in 332 seconds! I love geography. (yep, I'm a nerd)

Whoa! Good job Arika.

Anyone else care to try?

Not sure how they score these things, but I got a 90.81, error of 12 miles (?). I exited the program before recording all of the data, so I'm not sure how many states I got. Maybe around 44 or 45? My worst state was Delaware. I was way off. I must admit I got lucky on a couple of them.

chris, if you don't finish it, you can't record your score here. YOU'LL SKEW THE DATAAAAAAAAA!


Regardless, 333 seconds, avg error of 13 miles. 42 out of 50?

(It was out of 51 since they added D.C.)

You did better in me in miles and smoked me Peter in your time. Good job.

Ok, I failed to record my mile error, but I got 49 out 51, with a score of 96.07 in 279 seconds. Guess that makes me the Geography Geek.
