I missed two on this one.  The order in which they appear make a big difference.  On another try I missed 3 and they were all interior states with no others around to help placement.

This is pretty hard. If you don't line it up exactly it counts it wrong, that happened to me multiple times. For crying out loud, I got Alaska wrong!

Its retarded because of the interior states thing. On a blank map like that, with the accuracy that is required, I don't think even somebody that lived there could place a state like Wyoming or South Dakota in the EXACT position. Its pretty much ludicrous.

However, it counts total miles off.  If you miss by just a bit, it does'nt count for much.

Either way, 66% and 126 miles.  I probably missed 6 or 7 by just a bit.

I want to see a Canadian version of this, though.  I wonder if Americans can get 66% on our provinces :P

<edit> This one was amusing, briefly:

The only mistake I made (besides small location errors) was putting Australia upside down

<edit2> Here's one for Adron:

I got 14/44, it was horrible!  (I actually got 10, according to them, but I missed the arrow on Vatican, Ireland, and Sweden due to poor mousing, so screw them).  It was still pathetic, I hadn't even heard of most of those countries!

<final edit> 12/20 on their "20th century trivia!" which isn't bad consdiering I was at 2/9  by the 9th question :)

<SUPER final edit>
I emailed him about making a Canadian province game:
