How Good Are You?

Posted by DavidNYC

Fellow geography nerds (and that should cover roughly 100% of this site's readership): How good are you? I clicked away my results too quickly, but I think I was something like 96% with an average of 8 miles off in some 300-odd seconds. What'd you get?

I got 94%, off by eight miles in 359 seconds. Does every quiz start off with the same state? Mine started out with Iowa, and I was 95 miles off on it which hurt my overall total. If I was able to start with Texas or Michigan it would have been alot easier than starting with Iowa.

Different every time. Hard to start with those middle states.

Who knew Kansas was so far east? Damn you, Middle America! 94%, 12 miles, 320 seconds.

I tried it again and got an easier lineup of states early on. I finished with 98%, off by two miles in 284 seconds.

90%, 16, 303

I got a bunch of mid-America states to start, who the hell knows EXACTLY where Illinois is...except you Illini out there who will inevitably turn up.

OK, it was on my like fifth try, but I did finally get 98%/1 mile, in 178 seconds. And the only one I missed? Alaska!! I got cocky and tried to do it too quickly!

I got a 100 in 210 seconds, though it was really lucky...I got Wyoming first, and who knows where to put Wyoming when it looks exactly like Colorado?

I got 94% with 4 miles, but I was really slow trying to fit the pieces in perfectly at 596 seconds. Oh Well!
