There's a website somewhere that also has Europe, Africa, South America maps like this. I got all confused with Eastern Europe.

I'm curious -- how many of you automatically started with your home state first? (I did). Or did you work left-to-right, or right-to-left on the map? Or did you go down the order in the list of states?

I got all of Europe. Hurray for me. I wonder why they left off Ukraine, though. I guess they also left off all the tiny countries like Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, the Vatican, and so on.

Heh. I'm a remedial US student. I know the *general* location of most states, but it took too long to get them in the right spots by trial and error after the 15 or 20 I actually knew. I did, however, get perfect on the Canadian version, although I must say that's a *highly* stylized map. They're missing a whole lot of islands...
Edit: Yeah, Verily. The North gets ignored in Canada too.

The states weren't too bad. I had a little trouble with the northeast, but I always have (mainly those tiny states that I confuse). Everything else was just really easy. I'll try Europe when I get back from class this afternoon.

I got the states first try by randomly grabbing a name and putting it where it belonged. I did pretty well with South America (got Paraguay and Uruguay mixed up). Got most of Canada right, but failed Europe and Africa.

I accidentally let go of Utah when it was over Texas. It thought I was trying to put it in Texas. *grumbles* I know where Utah is! I live in Utah!
lol
Apparently this means I get to take the short bus to school.

I got 48/48 with time left over and it still told me I failed third grade. What's up with that?!?

I didn't fail the third grade, whoever drew the borders failed me. American states are either so small it's hard to click on them or large and box-like and look just like their neighbour. Although I do notice an amusing trend that seems to say that square states have people who are squares and people from small states have the characteristics of short people trying to make up for their height.

Vermont is shaped like a V; that's always how I told the difference (from third grade on, of course).
