Hehe, interesting test for an englishman this....

...managed 70%, with an average error of 166miles, took me 443 seconds. Not quite sure how terrible that is, for what it's worth I got MOST in the general area, apart from Idaho which I quite honestly had no idea, was a few thousand miles out on that

I got 21 on the brain test.

I remember taking the state test awhile back.....did okay until I got to the eastern states. I always get a bunch of the original states mixed up.

Not bad at all. I just tried it again and got only an 88% but I didn't pay attention to the score the first timer I played it. I like that it changes up the states on each play. It's harder when they give you a lot of interior ones first, as the outer ones can be matched with the boarders like a jigsaw puzzle if you're not sure where they go exactly.

It all depends on which states they pick first. If they pick something in the middle like Colorado, even if you know about where it is you can miss it by a hundred miles or so. I tried it several times. Why high was 2800 and the low was 3. I spend considerable time trying to figure out whether Florida was farther from Alaska or Hawaii.

25, but this is like playing "Who Wants to be a Millionaire".....mostly just a bunch of random trivia. Not quite sure how it really measures intelligence. Some people are just gifted remembering random facts.

96% in 263 seconds. 13 mile error. What really screwed me up was mistaking Kansas for South Dakota. Whoops!
