Place the State. How well do you know your US geography? My score: 96%, 8 miles, 319 seconds. (I really only messed up one or two at the beginning and then the rest were all perfect.)
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

82%, 48 miles, 284 seconds. Buh.
98%, 2 miles, 219 seconds. Wow…it would be a lot harder if they didnt have the name of the state you are placing.
98%, 1 mile, 171 sec. Stupid South Dakota. I think a lot depends on the order in which you get them.
Definitely a difference in the order. The first time I did it, I got Rhode Island first. It took about a minute before I could even find the state *not* on the map to drag it over. Itty bitty.
88%, 23 mi, 283 sec. Not too shabby.
I never realised before how boring the shape of the states of the US are. Colorado and a few of the others are just squares. Nothing like the exciting and inspiration shapes of New South Wales, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory (I know, technically not a state).
I did the same thing Jenny…I thought “why isn’t this working”?
Wow – 98% 12 miles 222 seconds. But I lost a good 20 seconds at the beginning when I was trying to figure out how the hell to get everything going. So if i get technical, I should have at the most, 200 seconds.
Now, had it been a math-related do-hickey, i would have bombed like nobody’s bi’nez.
