You ever pick a fight with an Alabama redneck? Yeah, Alabama has the Fark squirrel nutsack. 'bout as much brains, too.

Pretty lame if it marks you wrong for being off by 1/4 inch or so when dropping a big state smack in the middle of the country with no reference points whatsoever.

Having said that, 46 (92%) with 13 mile error. Would have had 48 if not for getting South Dakota and Kansas first.

Pretty easy except early on, when they give you landlocked states with no border reference. Damn Wyoming.

One really thinks it matters the order you get 'em in, though.

FriarReb98		2006-09-01 04:15:42 PM

96%, 2 mi avg. elchip's right about the order, though. If i had more reference for Pennsylvania & Colorado when I got them, i would've got them just fine....

lordargent		2006-09-01 04:16:37 PM

Geography falls under the list of things that I was once forced to memorize, but has since been purged from my brain due to disuse.

/doesn't need to know where kansas is, because I've never been there, and don't ever plan to go there.

Considering I didn't start going to American schools until 6th grade (went to German schools), I'm not too ashamed. I'm kind of weak when it comes to the midwestern/western states

Can't seem to get any faster than 133. After you play it a few times, you start to remember where each of the states go even if it's in the middle of the country.

I got Colorado first, and I thought it was Wyoming. And the rest of my errors were because the state didn't snap well.

Still got 90-some%, 198 secnds. Avg:18

100%, no mileage error, but 270 seconds. I was fairly anal in making sure I had the state in right down to the last pixel, which explains the slow speed.
