    Think you know your states

    Map of USA Puzzle... This is neat and fun !!

    How good is your geography of the United States ??




    Wonder how a high school senior would do on this one?

    See how you do in placing the states of the United States of America...

    All you do is look at the top of the page and drag 'n' drop the state to where it belongs.

    [Smart map... varies the order of the states' placement with each new try!]

    It ain't easy ! [mostly because placing a state in the precise location when it as yet has no boundaries in place is a bit tricky!]

    No half credit for close but over a tad.... Click here below:

    I got 88%..... Stupid Florida screwed me up.



















    Nah, It was them crazy little Eastern States. I don't know why they don't take 5 or 6 of them and make one real State.

    96% 6 miles 276 seconds. Getting Kansas as the second state messed me up. I missed by sixty miles.

    Another try netted me a 100%. 0 miles, 281 seconds, but I got a great sequence of states.

    LOL!! I got 96% in 183 secs. Avg. error distance, 5 miles.

    I cry foul. I got dealt Wyoming as the second state, right after friggin deleware.

    C'mon...Wyoming? It's a great state, but its shaped like a UPS shipping carton. I suppose I could've done worse. Coulda been dealt Ks and S. Dakota next.

    right on having to be dead on before it counts. 94%, 6miles, 360 seconds. Drop the sate as close as you can. Figured I'd miss on those first 13 our forefathers picked. The little ones with big hearts.

    Yes. We're south of Canada. Lots of Quebecois came down to work in the logging camps in the Androscogin Valley 100 years ago. Lots of folks around Gorham (where Labonville's HQ'd) still speak with an accent.

    I was able to place Indiana on the map quite easily. It's the state that's lovingly nestled between Chicago and Detroit.
