Ok Folks, I'm not from the USA and got 20 out of 48. Those little tiny

Heck I probably would have trouble just naming the countries. As for how I did... OK once I quit trying to put Delaware in the ocean. Managed to get them all in the right spots, although I did hear a bong or two. I usually get them in the right part of the country, but switch them around a little, like Indiana where Illinois goes, and sometimes switch around the Great Lake states. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

How did you go? http://www.pibmug.com/files/map_test.swf Yowie I got about the same, and I tried it twice! It was amusing to realise that pretty well all the ones I knew were from one song or another, e.g. Ca-li-for-nia here I come... That's right, you're not from Texas... Noo Yawk Noo Yawk, it's a wonderful town... O-----klahoma... I'm going to Carolina in my mind... Georgia... and of course all those states along Route 66. I missed the Hawaii 5-0 theme though. |

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? http://www.pibmug.com/files/map_test.swf Yowie This is embarrasing! I only got 37, and I'm a truck driver so should know better. That test just doesn't give you enough time. Dan |

(But I couldn't get all the states in Australia either, so don't feel bad!) But this test is a bit frustrating. If you get them all, they don't bother to tell you... they just start you over again.

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.
