This is a great way to avoid doing stuff you're really supposed to be doing.  ;)

I was 76% correct, but I think my score is lower than it should be because I accidentally 'dropped' a few states when I didn't mean to.

Keep playing Del.  My last score was 98% in 446 seconds, average error 2 miles.  Sometimes you luck out in the order they come up.  8)

92% an error of 7 miles. Didn't write down the time.  I've got some issues with a steady hand I think. Just loved how they put Rhode Island as one of the first states. Yeah, try to fit that in as the first state on the east coast!   >:(   States with a coast line are so much easier to place.  I wish the computer would say "very good" when done. That's the Brokie way.  ;)
