I got 94% corrent, with a 7-mile average error. What do you know?

Though, I don't know, I got a 92%, with an average error of 21 miles, which doesn't really reflect my knowledge of geography, which is much more dismal than this implies.

After all, anything that borders a coast, or Canada, is something of a giveaway--can I place Montana on a good day? No, but give me the shape of the state and I can drag it along the border until it lines up. And of course, once I have Georgia and Kentucky in place, it's easy to place Tennessee.

Interesting link, though.

The 76% right, with an average 50-mile error, is much more reflective. :-) That's what I got on the advanced version, in which each state disappears after being placed. And that's right after doing the other one, too.
