Not that many of you care that much, but Split found a game where ou actually use your brain to figure out where to put the states in the US. linkage

My best score, which was after two tries, was 100%, 0 Average Error, and 165 seconds. Proof. And no, I didn't cheat or use a map of any kind.

So, play the game and post your score.

Of course you would, they probably drill it into your brain every day at school. Unlike us; we have seven big, easily memorisable states. <_<

By the way, do you realise how many assumptions can be made about your computer life just by looking at that image? Namely in the bottom-right corner, hehe.

My first score was 82.35% with 79 Avg Error Miles and 317 secs.

EDIT: I tried a second time and got 92.15% with 15 Avg Error Miles and 186 secs. I feel accomplished for now. <_<

Pretty stupid game tbh. Most of the ones I got right were just because I saw they fitted in the gaps or it lined up with the coast line etc

79ish% accurate

13 error miles

271 seconds.

I screwed up a lot of the tiny New England ones, and the square western ones a little too.

I got 40% on my first try... I could have gotten higher, because honestly some states can be fitted in like a jigsaw puzzle. When I got um... Rhode Island wrong, I was like WTF! It's so obvious!

XD Meh, I got 80%ish in 3oo some odd second on my first try. Most of them I got right only because they lined up with others. I've never even been able to memorize the names of all the states.

And Split, were you refering to the paint program I had running? Because I was only using that to copy and paste the image since it loads quickly. Or was it something else?

I've been there. Infact, I met some relatives I never knew existed while visiting. The place is pretty much uninhabited.

For me, the large squareish states are the easiest to memorize.

Nope, just another one of your late nights.
