Cool game
I got 48 out of 50 right with an average error of 3 miles.

THis is a good thing to get for geography students

I didn't figure out how to make the game work.

Think you mean "fare well", or "fare average".
Yep, Smitty, we're all iliderat.

Ok. So I may not know the difference between fare and fair, but I did
manage to play the game.

For some reason, the link I provided was not the direct link to the

Yes, in that regards, you did fair better than I did.

And the two words sound the same, so it's an eazie misteak.

BTW. For younger people, I wish the puzzle had the option of going
thru the pieces to get to the ones you know before having to place the
ones you are less sure of.

I got 94% correct, average error 6 miles, 329 seconds. My two big mistakes
were West Virginia (84 miles off) and Oklahoma (52 miles off).

You creaked by me, with 48/50 and an average of 5 miles. We had a wooden
puzzle of the US when I was a kid, but that was a long time ago. I'm
surprised I did as well as I did. If it was one state at a time on a
blank slate, I don't think I'd do well at all. And putting countries on
a globe? Forget about it.

Here's a really good one:
http://mistupid.com/geography/knowyourworld.htm?de91=3d1e
You have to identify CITIES around the world!

Then there's the Middle East, which includes part of Africa:

This one is a lot tougher than it looks. Unfortunately, you're not scored
on your performance.

It's where Peter Griffin and his family live. Quahog, RI, I believe.

That would be too easy. Placing Kansas first is hard! ;-)

I do. It's an island off of South Carolina.
