76% and an average error of 61 miles.
That's how this Canadian did in putting U.S. states on a blank map. It wasn't too shabby a showing, considering the only states I've seen are the ones on the west coast (Washington, Oregon, California, and Nevada). My biggest error was Kansas, which I thought was much further west than it is. The tiny New England states are also very hard for me to keep straight.
Give it a go, it's fun.
I'd love to see Americans do this with Canadian Provinces and Territories.

My move to Mac has been very happy except for two issues - gaming and blogging. For websurfing and multimedia, a Mac is of course a terrific machine. Games on the Mac platform are often ports of games made for the larger PC market and that means a Mac gamer will have to wait for the port. I'm not a heavy gamer by any means but I am very happy that the Mac port of Civilization 4 is finally here. Well, my copy isn't here quite yet - but it has been ordered and ought to be here soon. The blogging issue is more complicated. I'm not fond of writing my posts in a browser window. This goes back to when I was first blogging and I lost one or two large posts into the ether. After that I moved to w.bloggar - a great little app that let me compose on my desktop and then click send when all was said and done. I have not been able to recreate that experience on my Mac, and not for a lack of trying! I looked at Marsedit , but that forces you to compse while staring at a bunch of HMT...
