“Try the version where each state disappears after you place it.”

“88% 21 miles 277 seconds”

“Each time you do it, it gives you the states in a different order. The problem is those interior states. If you get them before border or seaside states, it's a problem.”

“"succo," i like it! ;-D

i got 43 out of 50, but i'd say half those were luck or i could already tell by the shapes of other states nearby.”

“80% and a little over 500 seconds. Time and a few errors actually due to hand tremors.”

“I bet most of us wouldn't do as well with a map of Canada.”

“... but only ten provinces and three territories (otherwise, we'd keep getting lost).”

“That's a good thing. I hate to see you guys up there end up walking into a different igloo than the one you live in.
;-)”

“I got 92% officially, but they said I missed Texas, when it was just a little inaccurate mouse control, so I really got 94%. I really only missed one significantly. There were 2 states right in the beginning in the middle of the country that I was in the ballpark, but without any reference point, it's impossible to get.”

“OK, I got a better order of the states that time: 98%, avg error 3 miles. Iowa tripped me up again, although I was pretty dang close....”

“grr, lol 3rd try, 98% 1 mile.

I'm bored...”

“Thosse states that move around on ya make it harder, huh?”
