    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!

    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.

    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.
