in the fine vein of this thread by splat a few months ago, i present another geography test of the united states. this one is harder.

http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/states_experiment_drag-drop_Intermed_State15s_500.html

94%, 12 mi error, 265 sec for me.

 

[I Are Baboon]

92%, 14 miles, 272 sec.

cool.

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.

 

[Yossarian]

88% 28 Miles 332. I am stupid

 

[Toshi]

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

 

[Echo]

Blocked by the company firewall...

 

[PonySoldier]

BA in Geography..96% 6 miles 205 seconds.

No, I'm at work so I have to do my job and take the test at the same time

 

[zod]

I did a "speed round" and didn't do as well...

90%, 10 miles, 207 sec.

 

[TheInedibleHulk]

100% 0mi 226sec.... on the third try. Both of the first times I got a midwest state first.

 

[zod]

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....

 

[jacksonpt]

I lucked out in the order the states came to me... all the ones I normally screw up fit perfectly where the belong along states I had already placed.

46 perfect out of 50 turns

Score: 92%
Average Errror: 6 miles
Time: 310 seconds

 

[I Are Baboon]

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.

 

[HippieKai]

86% 72miles 274sec

that was canada right?

I got one wrong because I'm not married to my sister... Who the hell knows where mississippi is???

 

[Big_Papa1080]

92%
46 right out of 50 turns
average error: 9 miles
time: 313secs

WOOT!

 

[narlus]

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.

 

[Echo]

88%, 18 miles, 260 seconds - but I got screwed by 2 accidental drops :mumble:

 

[-dustin]

88/31/271

my optical mouse likes to jump around randomly.

 

[Wingnut]

I had help, and still got 72%...

 

[Metal]

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.

 

[Skookum]

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 .
