I screwed up the first state by putting Iowa too far south.

96 percent; average error, 4 miles. I had a little trouble with Missouri ...

Getting too old for this stuff, though; I could barely see Delaware and Rhode Island! LOL

98%, error of 2 miles. My only mistake was to place Kansas about forty miles off.

Second time, 98% with error rate of 2 miles once again.

If you get one of those states early on that don't touch the edge of the map, you're hosed. I was off with Missouri by 30 miles.

That was fun. 94% avg error was 4 miles. Took me a while though 400 minutes. Do the states come up in the same order each time you take it? Some would be hard to place if they came up first like West Virginia or even Iowa without a reference to place them in the middle of the country with no coasts or lakes borders
