92% and 18 miles average error. The order is random, so if you get a hard one early, you are hosed. Even placing Idaho without any other western state except CA made me miss by 100 something miles to far east.

I just tried this, and got 96%, 2 miles error. I got Pennsylvania first, followed by Arkansas. Hey, I majored in physical geography, OK?

Yep.

Also, I found out that the Europe and Asia maps are far more challenging.

Oh cool Scott, that made me go look.

I got a 79% on South/Central America (level 1 beginner).

Hey Sergio - you were just down there somewhere -- give it a try:

I like the "Advance Intermediate" games where you have to drag the country name onto the map. I think I've got Europe and Asia down.

Next stop: Africa and S. America!
