Place the state
This drag-and-drop place the state game is tricky in the fly-over spots with no handy coastline to use as a guide. Still, my score of 86% and average error of 44 miles would have been better had I not been sloppy with my mouse handling.

Today's obsessive web game is Sheppard Software's drag-and-drop place the state game. My best effort was 47 out of 50 states with an average error of 8 miles. I wonder if my US geography-obsessed 5 year old would be good [Read More]

94%, avg error of 22 miles on a touchpad mouse.
It's all about the first few you do -- once there's a reference point or two in flyover country, you can get them all right. I messed up on the placement of South Dakota, New Hampshire (yeah, my bad, didn't know it hit the coast), and another flyover state.

I got 47 of 50 (94%) with an average error of 8 miles. It's all about the order you get the states in. My first state was Nebraska, which sucked, but I made the 124 mile error up quickly. I think I got Nebraska, Maryland and Connecticut wrong (the latter 2 by only a tiny bit).

48 out of 50, 96%, and an average error of 7 miles in 301 seconds. First try, baby!
I screwed up on Nebraska and Montrana in the first 6 tries, but got the rest.
Damn, I'm good.
