Whoa! that's hard. Even though you know where the state is, there are not enough reference points on the map. I played three times and got 41, 42, and 40. Time to quit. :mope:

100% of 51 in 248 seconds this last time. It really depends on what order they come in - games earlier today took longer and I got errors on some inland states before there was anything to put them next to. :shock:
(Or maybe I could blame MS since I had to use that browser at work - NS wouldn't run the script there, or something. Might be my security settings there. Or could be that I need to upgrade my NS version, since NS has been nagging me about that for a while now. :D )

That was fun....didn't do as well with the Eastern States, though...for some reason. :smile:
Got 32 and 79 miles. A lot of the states I was just a little off and a couple others ....pretty far off. Started to play it again......and it was way harder. Needless to say....I didn't finish.

The area of Ohio I now live in the soil is composed of mostly clay and rock so "Common up" and bring your fertilizer with you cuz we need it. :clap:

By the way those Garmens and Magellens are pretty accurate and come in a wide range of prices. :biggthumbup:
