    Try placing South Dakota without any states around it. That really hurt my score: 92% 11 miles 301 seconds

    It would have been a lot easier if my second state wasn't Colorado. I then had to do Iowa, which looked pretty close, but was apparently like 200 miles off. Luckily the rest were in a pretty good order, but those big square ones can be killers.

    My state was last for me---I got it right. I'm very proud.

    I wanna know who TomSawyer paid off.
