Do you have an atlas in your head? We deal in states all the time. Do you know where they are located?

I got 78%. The first ones I got really close but with no border, not close enough. Wow, this is a great site.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow...what a great site. :) I scored 88% the first time around in a little over 300 seconds. Tried it again and got 92. Can't wait to see how my kids do. :) Teri

I did OK on the New England States. It was those states around Nebraska and north of Texas that did me in. LOL

I don't know why I haven't seen this thread before, but I really enjoyed the test. I didn't do too badly. Got 92 percent correct with a 6 mile average error. I could have done it faster, I suppose. It took me almost 4 minutes. This test went much faster and easier when the state you were placing had at least one existing boundary, then it was a breeze.

It is a bit tricky when the borders are not in place - if you're in the right vicinity, I think it's great. It really test your memory.

States are fine. They are pretty consistent. It's those pesky counties and changing town names. :-/
