Place the State
I got 45 out of 50 exactly correct. 4 were only off by a bit and 1 was about one state off because there was no context to help. My average error was 22 mi. Time didn't count because I had to stop and vacuum up a mess my daughter made.

48 out of 50, 47 mile average error (fuckin' Kentucky as the first state, Connecticut on the second), in 222 seconds (I didn't realize it was timed until they told me).
Looking at electoral maps every day for a year paid off more than 12 years of public schooling ever did, in the American geography department. I wager I could have done congressional districts and done okay.

Yes, but it's been closed almost ten years now for renovations.

The first one was Kansas and I wasn't exactly on the spot. Pretty hard to do without a point of reference.

Those bastards should take their money and themselves out of the Union. Secession: Just do it.

Same thing happened to me, only it was Kansas. I was actually amazed just how closely I placed it--just not close enough.
