88%

Oklahoma is a state? And I officially hate all those pointless tiny states on the east coast.

98%, I messed up Iowa because they wanted me to place it before any of the states bordering it were up.

I started with Tenesse (sp?).

That didn't get me off to a good start :P I also became overconfident on my 2nd try and accidentally dropped alaska off centered >_< Only got 80% then.

I got 96%, average error of 3 miles, time of 242 seconds. The only states I got wrong was Colorado (put it a bit too far north), and Vermont (put it too far west when aligning it with the border).

82% avg error 90 miles, 464 secs.

I got some wrong due to accidentally dropping the states, though. (one of them missed the map :blush:)

89% Europe (damn tiny dot countries, and Slovenia amd Moldovia.)

Africa - 47% - Seychilles is a tiny never heard of island. Gambia is one of many strangely shaped weird shoudn't exist nations. And what the heck is C. A. R.?

85% on South America, but that's because it has fewer countries and I accidentally dropped El Salvador twice.

84% on Asia, not bad. Dropped Mongola accidentally, it, "migrated" south into china (again).

Canada!
100% on Capitals and Provinces, level 2 of course :) and I like how except for PEI, most of our provinces are larger than most countries.

Thanks for the site :)

EDIT: Ahh 41%!

USA - 98% with an error of 1 mile (South Dakota first? not cool.)

Europe - 100% with no error, although I think they gave you more of a tolerance.

Africa - 92% with a 28 mile error.

South America - 100%.

Asia - 97% with a 7 mile avg. error, completely the fault of Brunei before Malaysia.

Or Denver, or Wyoming. Almost hard to tell those states apart.

85% for Europe
49% for Africa.....................why the hell, did I start with all the impossible ones, and end with South Africa, Somalia, Madagascar, Egypt, or Kenya?

They called it "Colorado" when I visited four and a half years ago.

88%, not too bad.

If any Americans got worse, you should be ashamed.

I got smoked on Africa and Asia. I thought I was better than that. I did better on south america than I did pon the US. Stupid South Dakota being first, how can anyone know which one is north and which one is south?

94%, Avg Error 4 miles

They want you to be pretty precise with this. Got Nebraska first, still managed to place it correctly. Tennessee and Wyoming were just a bit off.
