Can you pass 3rd grade (americans, that is)

http://www.madblast.com/funflash/swf/map_test.swf

click the state names and drag them on the state location. Go!

I got 8: cali, oregon, washington, florida, NY, texas, and two by sheer trial and error.

41, some of the eastern ones were tough since I'm a west boy. Also, I was unaware that the test was timed until about halfway through.

EDIT: Second try: 48/48

Let's do one for countries now!

Bah I only got 30/48. I didn't realized it was timed at first either.

I own you both. I got all 48 on the first try, with half the timer left.

There's 50 states. Where's alaska and hawaii?

I guess that test was made in the 1930s.

On flash no less. I wonder what percentage of the population of N. America would not be able to get Hawaii and Alaska?

OCC: Hawaii's a state? I think so anyway, but it just seems weird. I thought Hawaii is a communist country. *was* it?

that was not hard. i would like to note that it does not credit the upper peninsula of michigan as a valid answer, though.

Easy, and I'm not even American!

I got 14 :p

The east side is hard.

12, amongst them Minnesota and Michigan. I had no idea about the east. Some of these were like "wtf, that's a state?" for me.

Umm, I got 47. It wouldn't let me place Rhode Island.

I got 19, I should probably be less random and more hurried next time, but it was more fun finding out where the hell the obscure states go rather than doing the ones I already knew (which totalled about 12 or something).

The New England region does get pretty sketchy... even for us home-grown Americans.

48/48 on the first try with some time left to spare. It isn't THAT hard people. The west is the easiest because they don't have 13 trillion states crammed into a breakfast sandwich. Everyone who lives in america and didn't get this sucks.

First: 14
Second: 15
Third: 21
Fourth: 28
Fifth: 28
Sixth: 34
Seventh: 37
Eigth: All of them friggen ones

>=/
I'll update this post until I get to 48

That made me very very angry.

And I find I have problems with the midwest. I couldn't figure out where the hell Wisconson was, even though I have a very good friend who lives there. *shame*

The midwest always gets me. I can do the east coast no prob.

48 of 48.

21... Gee, when I was in 3rd Grade all I had to memorise was 10 Provinces and 2 Territories...

Good thing this test doesn't make you also place all the capitals also.



Yeah...you all suck.

I had more time left on the clock than you, ed. Hence, you suck, too. :D

Burn.

Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, Arizona, Nebraska, North Dakota Texas, TN, IL, MI, ME.
13/48. Cool.

First time, I clicked a name and let go while it was still in the list and it took a point off me so I got mad and restarted. Second time I got all 48. Capitals would be a bit harder, yeah.

I got negative 35.

I just noticed that it says I failed even though I got 48/48. Is there any way to pass the test? Maybe the programmer who wrote it failed the third grade too.

Talk about burn. . . Unne gets the short bus. *shakes his head*

7/48

I'm not American though, so me needing to know the states is unimportant.

I got California, Illinois and Texas first try though.

Then again, I don't even know where most of the counties in England are, but then we don't have to learn them to pass a year of school.

48/48.... at about ed's time remaining.... too easy.

Easy. i feel special.

I got 26, and I'm from the UK!!!

Boy, that was tough. 0/48

48, easy. I want to see a capitals one. I used to rule at that.

EDIT: Take the test again and try putting Michigan on the UP. It won't let you. I think whoever made this test isn't too smart themselves.

1st try I got 47/48, with the 48th in hand... :/

I got 6/48. I actually knew which California was, and around where Florida and New York were. It took me more than half the time to guess where Washington was, though. I just clicked on every single space and of course it ended up being the last one I chose. :(

I'd like to see you bastards pass grade 3 IN CANADA!

Anyone can miss Canada. Tucked away all down there. :D

I got them all, only because I did this a few months back in my Gov't class. The East Coast is the hardest. Why can't they just form into like two or three big states like over here?

I didn't even know there was anything above the U.S. until like 7th grade. xP

Bah, too many hick states.

That wasn't so bad.

living on the east coast helps you know all those bastard states.

Ha ha, I got 19. I pwned the southern states.

But I agree with whoever it was early on that said they should make a countries one. =D

I could do a countries one, methinks. I got 13 first go *wins*

I found something close to a countries one; it's actually individual continents. www.lizardpoint.com/fun/geoquiz/afrquiz.html is the Africa Quiz. You can navigate to the other ones from there. My scores:

Africa: 141 of 147 points *lucky guesses*
Asia: 82 of 84 points *stupid "-stan" countries...
Australia: 21 of 24 points
Canada: 36 of 39 points *I've never heard of Prince Edward Island*
Caribbean: 29 of 72 points *stupid little islands...*
Central America: 42 of 42 points!
Europe: 104 of 111 points *too many countries in Yugoslavia!*
Middle East: 85 of 87 points
South America: 38 of 39 points
USA: 150 of 150 points
World (Oceans and Continents): 33 of 33 points
TOTAL: 771 of 828...

or 93.1%. I think that's pretty good. Let's see if anyone can beat me! And NO USING A MAP! I didn't, so no one else should.

Africa: 47/147
Asia: 58/84
Australia: 21/24
Canada: 17/39
Caribbean: 32/72
Central America: 36/42
Eroupe: 77/111
Middle East: 48/87
South America: 28/39
USA: 139/150
World: 32/33

Yeah I suck.

Hey, atleast you did better than me on the Caribbean one.

Africa - 138 of 147 (admittedly, I'm a bit rusty there)
Asia - 81 of 84
Australia - 24 of 24
Canada - 35 of 39
Caribbean - 47 of 72
Central America - 40 of 42
Europe - 108 of 111
Middle East - 84 of 87
South America - 39 of 39
U.S.A. - 150 of 150
World (Ocean and Continents) - 33 of 33

Total - 779 of 828

So much for that challenge, huh?

EDIT: Overall, I wasn't as sharp as I could be. It didn't help that they were hard to click sometimes.

Europe: 85/111
World: 32/33 Come on, Artic Ocean? How am I supposed to know where to click for that? It's not like there's lines on the map separating the oceans.
Canada: 29/39 Miracle I got that many.
Asia: 65/84

At this point, I became too bored to do any more, and I'd rather not embarrass myself by attempting the Africa or South America tests.

I'd have to agree on the Arctic Ocean thing.

And, sure, you guys know where all those countries are, but can you sing the Anamaniacs country song? Didn't think so.

669 out of 804, but close, eest.

well, that's a better percent!

i also sucked ass at australia but forgot to write down my score.

Don't let those Aussies bring you or your percentage down, man. There's always next time.

I was taking wild guesses at Aussieland, but got like 'Western Austrlia' and stuff by simple logic. The Capital Territory...I just guessed the smallest one. Lucky, me, I only messed up once.

Africa: 100/147
Asia: 77/84 Yes, blasted stans.
Australia: 24/24
Canada: 39/39 Of course, I live there :p

South America: 35/39 With a horrible reflex mis-click. Argentina is not peru, arm!
USA: 141/150 Apparently I still don't know where those darn midwest states are.
World 33/33 Pretty Easy, that.

Total: 704/828 = 85%. Not too bad.

is incorrect.
It really is "...then Bangladesh, Asia, and China..."

EDIT: wtf? why is it green?

World: 33/33 = 100%
USA: 150/150 = 100%
South America: 38/39 = 97.4%
Middle East: 82/87 = 94.3%
Europe: 96/111 = 86.5%
Central America: 41/42 = 97.6%
Canada: 35/39 = 89.7%
Australia: 23/24 = 95.8%
Caribbean: 31/72 = 43.1%
Asia: 81/84 = 96.4%
Africa: 110/147 = 74.8%

Total: 720/828 = 86.95%

Doing Europe made me sad. I can't believe I missed that many. Also I made some stupid mistakes in Africa that I should have gotten right. The Caribbean was ridiculous.

Africa: 79/147
Asia: 73/84
Australia: 17/24
Canada: 25/39
Caribbean: 27/72 D:
Central America: 39/42

Middle East: 76/87
South America: 35/39
USA again: 148/150
World: 32/33

You guys have no idea what those prairie provinces are, and that Nunavut thing just came out of nowhere (1997), eh?

Like 3rd grade, i got by with cheating, press forward twice (right click) it always works for flash games

Yeah, it's good thing I'm in world geography this year, if not I wouldn't have known anything in Africa or the provinces of Canada. I know what the provinces are, I just don't know where they are located...or didn't until this year.

41/48. Same as Del, I have trouble with the eastern ones because I'm from California and they're all so tiny.

First time didn't realized it was timed and got 41/48, then I got 48/48

48/48 first try. :D

Well 2nd try actually cause it froze on the first try...but that doesn't count.
