Ok, I finally actually played this game (I posted it here so I would remember to try it!).

... I got 46 perfect out of 50. Score 92%, Avg Error - 13 miles. Not too shabby.

mrmoby · 01-30-2005, 11:50 AM

I scored 90% with an average error of 21 miles. It is a cool game. Aggravating as hell though, because I put down quite a few that were so close................yet so far......oh well, off to try it again!

Damon · 01-30-2005, 11:55 AM

40 out of 50. Avg. Error 50 miles. Damn little states!

aquariumfishguy · 01-30-2005, 11:57 AM

Actually, 3 of the 4 states I screwed up on were larger states. For example, I put Arkansas where Missouri was supposed to go. Oh well!

(RC) · 01-30-2005, 12:11 PM

A lot depends on the order the states come up. If you get more of the border states first it's much easier. My second try was 47 of 50 , but I got most border states at the begining.

to bad i cant take a screen shot i just got a 100%

aquariumfishguy · 01-30-2005, 12:38 PM

Yeah, I just realized that every time you play it, the states are given to you in a different order. I guess my first try was semi-challenging. I didn't get all the big states first, but it was still fun.

Lexus · 01-31-2005, 12:56 AM

1st try- 88% Correct, Avg. Error 23 miles, Time 243 seconds
2nd try- 90% Avg error 22miles time 200 sec.... I got sloppy

But a good game to learn where the states are!

CARS · 01-31-2005, 02:37 PM

37 out of 49 Average 139 miles. Did better than I thought. Will try again.

hail_sniper · 01-31-2005, 04:00 PM

i did this a while back maybe a week or two, if i remember i got 70% iwith like 100 miles off, ill try again

alright here it is, Score 86% Avg Error 46 Miles Time 287secs

Bella · 01-31-2005, 04:13 PM

27 out of 50 avg error 313 miles.

Hey, I'm candian, and only learned the states in grade 9, in 1999 so

joe kool · 01-31-2005, 04:42 PM

first time out ... and I got all the frickin center states first

not too bad though

Frop · 01-31-2005, 06:20 PM

Remeber that this is a Canadian doing it.

joe kool · 01-31-2005, 09:52 PM

second time up after eating supper....

****

of course it probably helps that I've driven through about 40% of them ****

penpitt · 02-02-2005, 10:34 AM

42 out of 50 with 32 mile error

Mark · 02-02-2005, 08:15 PM

I did okay

joe kool · 02-02-2005, 10:12 PM

it's tough to get better than that... They always through a couple like colorado and nebraska in there with nothing around and its' tough to "eyeball" those guys into place with a blank map

I'm sure somebody will get a actual map out and try and prove me wrong the hard way

aquariumfishguy · 02-03-2005, 02:35 PM

... In that case, I'd say they have too much time on their hands.
