This is a sort of fun little geography "quiz". I enjoyed it, anyway.

i love little things. i'm really mad though because i put the Michigan one on the upper peninsula and the a holes said i was wrong!

 

[Kulindahr]

I kept getting frustrated with the small states. The resolution on my screen here is abominable, so I could hardly tell one state from another along the east coast -- so I just aimed in the right area and hoped.

 

[Kulindahr]

I just tried it again, with a twist: put the names in going in reverse alphabetical order.
I messed it up, though when I did them starting at my state (Oregon) and filling in from there, I was fine.
Fun stuff.

It doesn't even give you anything for winning, though...

Not bad for a Canuck, I guess.

 

[Soilwork]

yeah, well I got all 50 and I'm from outside Moncton.

(man, that's never worked for me before...)

 

[luminum]

Woo hoo! Second try! And I suck at geography!

 

[justjoshoh]

Yay! I can pass third grade. I dunno about high school though. We had world geography there and I think I'd have a hard time with that one.

Don't worry about the world geography. Unless if they changed the standards of education recently, most high school students around here would not know it either.

Reverse order, no problem. I think the fact that I have been to every state, except Alaska, really helps.

I am still waiting for the short bus. What time does it get here?????

that was easy.

there should be a test to show us commonwealth... now that would be a challenge to everyone here.

I guess my public school education did something right. I got all of them right.

37/48 ... not bad, I guess.

 

[jamie_01930]

okay one more try.

I took up space while in school

Yeah, I kinda felt the same way. Some angels blowing trumpets, and a spice cake appearing on the screen, a la Monty Python, would have been nice, at the least.

I took up space while in school

That's the most excellent statement about that, that I've ever heard!
It deserves a prize of its own....

I did it again, through the alphabet forwards -- only blew one.
Then I tried it starting on the east coast, and really screwed up. I guess I'm Pacific-coast oriented.

Oh -- vetteboi, I've been to almost every state, but the ones back east are so small I think they blurred together for me.

Now we need one for the Canadian provinces, then Europe....
