Ok Folks, I'm not from the USA and got 20 out of 48. Those little tiny
states up the top right always confuse me....

How did you go?

12. Mind you, I did not notice the time limit, so I was taking it
easy! I did not get many wrong, and I am sure it told me Virginia was
wrong when it wasn't, so I wasted some time finally putting it back
where I had already tried.

25 second time. Getting interesting!

31. Great way of learning!

32. Improvement slowing!

34. Getting tired. I shall get back to it!!!!!

Don't forget Delaware. I kept putting it in the Atlantic Ocean.

Tell him he's right... Darn I must have tried to place Delaware 5
times before giving up and skipping it. Then once the rest were done
and time running out I went back and tried to put it in the same spot
I'd already tried, and still missed a time or two. Darned little
skinny state.

Truth be told, I my geography knowledge probably comes more from my
Dad than school - he's a whiz (as long as you stick to names from when
he was going to school) When we were kids he knew not only the states,
but state capitols, and most of the countries and their capitols.

Heh, I only got 11. I couldn't even find Massachusetts, though I lived there
as a kid. P
