I got this from the Tech Space blog at USA Today. My sister tells me I should read the Post, but do they give you fun stuff like this? Probably not!

Test your USA map skills: Place the States

I need to play again. I got 45 in the exact right spot. 2 I missed because my mouse slipped a bit early--and really, they were in the right spot! The other three were also close, but I put them down deliberately. I didn't get anything in the complete wrong location. Post your score and tell us all about it!

Score: 90% Avg. Error: 21 miles

[> [> 98% avg 4 miles - Wyoming is evil even when its not the first if you don't have any anywhere near it - the vast majority of Wyoming was indeed covered by where I put it... it just needed shifting... -- Aria (who just wanted to let C know that she wasn't the only one messed up by Wyoming...), 15:29:04 09/16/06 Sat [1]

[> LOL! I got 90% and 18 miles on my first try. Not bad considering those first states are really hard to place! -- Sara, 11:57:32 08/31/06 Thu [1]

[> Hmm....70% with an average of 171 mi off. Not bad for a Canuck if I do say so myself. -- Canrane - Oh Delaware. Why did you have to sound like you belongs on the west coast?, 20:20:49 10/02/06 Mon [1]
