    Not great but not too bad, I was at least in the general vicinity for the ones I missed.

    The error was placing Kentucky about 50 miles off.

    Here's the bragging part. I didn't realize it was giving the names of the states until about 1/3 of the way through the game. After I realized I could be looking at the names, I tried to keep placing states without looking at the name. I did double check a few of the western rectangles after I'd decided what state it was. I was wrong about Kansas - thought it was North Dakota. I put it in the right spot but I wouldn't have if I hadn't cheated and looked at the name.

    This is kind of my thing. Sad, really. But if you're ever on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, now you know who to call for a geography question.

    Avromark, am I remembering correctly that you don't even live in this country? Cut yourself some slack. Can you imagine an American's score if the quiz was Canadian provinces?

    Nunawhat?
