BS in Geography.......we used to do these things in college just like this for test. I missed placement of Colorado and that was it......then I got lucky and hit a bunch of coastal states and that made the rest of the test much easier :)

96%, 4 Miles, 535 sec.

so a BS in geography means you work twice as slow as the rest of us on map tests? ;)

The way the states play out makes all the difference........I just got a start with no coastals and got a sucky score in no time....

Well I got Utah first. Who the hell can plot Utah without a mileage error? I bet Utah residents can't even do that.

This test is racially biased. I got four wrong because I'm white.

96% 7 miles 397 seconds.

using the touch button on a laptop killed my time (no mouse on the loaner i have).

i got screwed by the location of oklahoma, seriously i was probably the closest i could have come and not been correct. kentucky i was way off. that said, i did have a favorable order of states.

they should make it harder and not say the name of the state.

92% 9 miles 291 seconds.

My cursor is so big, it covers up some of those tiny east coast states and that made me take a lot longer time wise.

Kansas got me but I got it within 66 miles.

One of the greatest gifts my Dad gave me was a trip across the country when I was 15. We drove from Buffalo Ny to Yellowstone NP to Grand Canyon NP and home. Mostly backroads all the way.

I did that too, after that I reall knew where all the states where.

96%
3 miles
228 seconds on my 2nd try .

the first one I got Nebraska first followed by Tennesse , then Idaho . and the final 5 were Texas , Florida , Hawaii, Alaska and Maine.


I wasn't too far off with those but still it killed the score .
