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?

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

That's amazing, Yowie! You are to be applauded. I have trouble with
the little tiny states in the top right myself. ;-)

I got the same as Tom and had trouble with the damn RI. I feel that I had an
unfair advantage.... the last few weeks of school for my daughter (end of May)
she was working on a geography project... a map of the USA. I had to help her
color that damn thing, put the state names on it AND the capitals! LOL. I am
sure that my old brain will slowly release that info (like a gas coming out of
my ears) by the end of the summer but for today it still seems to be floating
around in there!

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

Yeah, those two were a challenge. And here we thought it was going to
be a challenge to see what we *knew* - when it's really testing our
coordination!

The New England states are the ones I always get right! But then, that's
where I'm from.

The reason I know where every state is is because I've travelled through
just about all of them. On the *ground*. Actually going to a place from
someplace else helps to lodge its location, and its location relative to
other places, in the brain.

Let's see, I know that Victoria is in the eastern part of Australia. And
Tasmania (is that even a state?) is in the north. So don't feel bad, Yowie,
you're doing a lot better than I am at knowing someone else's geography!

No sweat! Tom is a geography nerd, he will spend hours looking at maps.
Weird...

How are the Z's doing?
