I got 70%, but there were several times where it gave me an error when I put it more than 1mm off. Like for both Alaska & Hawaii. Come on, it’s the only thing over there! Of course that’s what I meant!

I was lucky with Kansas, but had Nebraska first. LOL

I had no idea where tiny Rhode Island went either.

76%, 65 miles.

I was a lazy dragger and got dinged a bunch when i dropped it in more or less the right spot.

that's why this game is silly- it asseses spatial relations just as much as geography

[madringal]

78% - LOL. But I can assure you it would have been way worse if the shapes of they sates I had already completed did not stay up there. The East cost really messed me up!

96% - But if they give the states in a random order, then I lucked out b/c a few of them I only got b/c I was able to match them up with some that I already had, lol.

Nebraska screwed me

[agnes]

I am quite certain we did this before...I think I did better than the last time 'round. That's not saying much.

But this game is bullshit. If I was 1mm off it gave me a wrong answer.
