Here’s a new obsession:

I really suck at geography, so here’s something new for me to obsess over:

KNOW YOUR STATES

The graphics leave a little to be desired, but it does the job.

My first effort? 78% with an average error of 71 miles.

Try it out and leave your score in the comments!!

That was cool! I forgot my first score, but I think it was around 85%, with an average error of 60ish miles. (I would have done much better, but tried to stick Iowa entirely far too west when the map was otherwise almost blank. Ugh.)

Have you seen this related thingy?

CRAP I forgot my score as I went back to this. I do know it was 84% on my first try and 47 for another number, but I am not sure!

It’s probably all of the puzzles of the United States that we have in the house (7 at last count?) but I was 94%, 6 miles, 448 seconds.

Is there a prize…?

92%; 19 miles. I didn’t realize at first they were labeling the states, so I mistakenly confused Colorado w/North Dakota. Oops.

Whoo hoo! I got 80% with an average error of 76 miles. I’m shocked it was that good because this Irish lass isn’t that familiar with the states individually!
