Thats a horrible test. I was literally off by like a centimeter (on the map) and it counted it wrong.

You mean a millimeter?

Also, I like how it turns into a puzzle game after like 15 states.

Ok fine, less than that. I didn't take out a ruler to measure.

I was a little off with Kansas to start off and I completely fucked up Colorado halfway through. That's about it.

If it's within a certain amount of miles, it puts in the right place for you and counts it as perfect.

49/51, average error 23 miles.

To be fair, I got a bunch of easy ones early, which made it easier to place the harder ones later.

I had 48 out of 51 with an average error of 12 miles. And one was where I let go of the mouse by accident.

man, I used to know this junk and all the state capitals by heart in 4th grade. What happened?

73109 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 15, 2011, 07:00:40 PM »

I know!!! I was the only kid in my 4th grade class to get a 50/50.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 15, 2011, 07:05:12 PM »

For real, my memory skills were scary back then. I guess those things don't matter to me anymore.

But still.

glaurung · « **Reply #18 on:** May 15, 2011, 07:10:52 PM »

I think a lot of our scores would be much higher if we were naming the states instead of placing them on a blank map.

That's kinda the point. I don't see why people are complaining.

glaurung · « **Reply #23 on:** May 15, 2011, 07:46:07 PM »

As a game built to piss people the fuck off it's fine. But for a geography test it's stupid.

At least with "-istan," you know the general area.
