My biggest hangup was Idaho. When I took it the 2nd time, i got 98% with 4 miles average. I couldn't tell you how to put Idaho in the right place without a framework around it! It's because it is sort of off-line with the states beneath it! I sort of throw it down in the general area!! haha ;)

Sandie...I'll have to try the Europe one next!!

100%, 0 miles... woohoo!!!

Now off to try Europe...

Europe is really damn hard. I mean, I've got at least half of Europe in my genetic background...but I got 3/17 before I gave up. haha!

I'll try it later :)

Europe:

91%, 33 MILES

I'm a geography nut... so sue me!

OK I've decided that Europe is really hard because they ask for all these itty bitty islands and places like in the middle of Italy that I know I've heard about...but they are darn hard for me to remember where they go!

In Europe, I'm pretty good when it comes to Nordic and Northern European countries because that's where most of my family is from...but if I get too far away from there, then I start to get lost ;)

Very nice, Joe. Wanna see South America? ;)

9%, with a 1,200 mile error average. Traveling to Europe would be greviously stupid. Not only is there the location thing, but every 200 miles you have to re-exchange your Forints.

That's cool. I did the same as Frank here. I wasn't too careful. Did 96% in Europe. Belarus was tough.

There's something wrong with me.

Pittsburgh Joe, considered yourself served - I'll see you in court.

My error was 13 miles according to their calculations, which are wrong. The first 4 were 0 miles off, then I missed by 50 miles. It calculated my average error for the first five as 50 miles, when it should have been 10 miles. It only glitched once, but it aint accurate.

I am also suing the makers of that game, for causing me duress.

90% - 8 miles.

Only been to 3 of them....Then again I've only been to 3 provinces = 30 % of Canada (3% of the US)
