Someone ought to redo the quiz so that the map is blank for all 50. Don't let the state filll in once you place it, let it go back blank and see how people do.

Yeah, this is a fun kids quiz, but the order is random. If you get middle of the country states at the beginning your score will be lower. I took it twice, and the first time was very poor for that reason, the second time, everything moved into place nicely and I scored 98%, 2 miles, at 365 seconds. So it all depends on the order. Good quiz for kids though.

On the nation ones they have something like that at the higher levels.

Level 6 seems to do that or similar.

Thanks for the link, my son and I had fun trying our hands at several of these. By the way, only one error... got Colorado off to the west and south a few miles

I agree lol.

Score: 98%; Avg Error: 6 Miles; 273 Secs

49 Perfect out of 50 turns.

They gave me Wyoming to early which threw my score off because I didn't know if it was WY or CO and plus the middle wasn't filled in yet.
