94%, avg miss 5 miles, in 214 seconds. My misses were all in about the right place, but I didn't land quite right on because I didn't have enough to guide my placement that I put it exactly where it was supposed to be.

43/50 average error of 36 miles. Not bad for an Aussie.

Try it on the Advanced setting where you only get one state at a time and can't work it out from the ones you've already done.
Adv - 31/50 average error of 94 miles

48 of 50, 4 friggin miles. Worst was Pennsylvania. Friggin Hawaii was the other miss. I didn't put it right super imposed on the stinking top, and it said I missed. Come on, I dragged the friggin stated all the way down there, do you really think I meant to leave some of it in the Pacific Ocean?

Hmm, damned Balkans.

39/44, 184 seconds for Europe
48/50, 218 seconds (I *really* need my coffee today), 11 miles for USA

Could they make it harder making Kansas the first state? Also, one of these days I will be able to distinguish Colorado and Wyoming...

39 out of 50 on advanced mode. Avg. error was 22 miles. (This pissed me off because I was about 20 miles on every fricking one I missed, except WV which I was 63 off on to raise my average.)

48/50 8 mile error.

I got N. Dakota without any other plains states in place and missed. I also inexplicably put Kansas in Nebraska's place.

I always knew the hours playing HOI and Victoria would benefit me!
