Depends a lot on the order you get the pieces. First time it started by asking me to place Utah, Nevada and Kentucky on a blank board. Feh. got a total of 85%

Next time, it started off softly with some coastal states, that I could tie the others to afterwards. Score 98%.

Damn! Liar, can't get much better than that. Congrats!!! I got in the high 80's and thought I did good. Always seem to miss by just a hair.

 

[trysail]

Liar's right; the order does make a difference. The software doesn't cut much slack for very minor misplacements on a blank map.

Score: 94%
Average Error: 8 miles
Time: 337 seconds

Basically, it ought to be a piece of cake for any 'murican.

Burkina Faso, Tajikistan, Sao Tome and Principe, on the other hand ....

Rhode Island keeps moving. I know it goes right there!

It's no good for me.
Counties of England, however. . . . . . .

I did once see a Lufthansa game about where's the airport.

Handley, do it anyway. You will learn where the states are. Use it as a geography lesson. When you talk with different people on th A/H, you'll get an idea where they're from.

That was great. Didn't do the best but learned a lot. Those little countries that were just dots, I had no idea. Thanks again Liar.

Serbia? Slovakia? Right off the bat? Then Liechenstein? Which was only a dot!

Okay, so I picked the wrong bend in the river for Slovakia, I was off by kilometers on Serbia, and Liechtenstein I got lucky.

I need to know my European rivers better, I guess. And why didn't they put rivers on the US map? I think it would be hard for a resident of Tennessee to nail that on a blank board! But with the Mississippi .... Sheesh.

Fun game. Thanks for sharing.

 

[oggbashan]

88% on first attempt. Not bad for a Brit.

It became easier when most of the map was filled.

36/46, average error 133 miles.

And the states, 96%, both times starting with states in the middle of a blank map, with an average error of 5 miles.

 

[Darkniciad]

96%, Average error 4 miles, 651 seconds ( but I had to chase my boy down to keep him out of something in the middle *laugh* )

It started me with a nice string of connective states from California moving eastward and New York + New Jersey to help with the NE states, though. With that much frame of reference, it's fairly easy to place new ones.

 

[oggbashan]

Europe:

96% Average error 26 miles

[kromen]

It doesn't help when your first pieces is Oklahoma. 94% 12 mile error avg.

 

[sophia jane]

78% 37 miles 333 seconds got 39/50

I was proud til I saw some of the other scores.

I get 100% -- I played this game shortly before my road rip in June in order to memorise where all the states are. I can also got all the rivers and lakes games right.

 

[jomar]

36 out of 46 on the European map - better than I thought I'd do.

 

[sadangel]

90% 18 miles error Time of 285 seconds. Not half bad. I know I had at least two that were only a dash away from being in the right place. It isn't very forgiving for those.

 

[Xelebes]

96%, 8 miles, 270 seconds.

 

[Katyusha]

It doesn't help when your first pieces is Oklahoma. 94% 12 mile error avg.

Indeed. My first try gave me South Dakota first and my second try gave me Kentucky first, then Utah, then Iowa.

But if you can place those correctly first, then you're doing very well.

 

[ishtat]

96% 46/50 490 seconds. Very lucky as the outer states came up first. Maryland has been lost . Is that serious?
