Click here and see how well you know your red states from the heretic ones......It's not as easy as it looks. I scored a 96% the first time around.

92% Average Error 10 miles. It's hard when the first 2 states are Nebraska and Utah.

94% but I wasn't paying attention and thought Wyoming was Colorado. Pays to read.

I missed three, but two were only because I got careless and droped them slightly out of position.

Colorado I legitmately missed by mixing it up with Wyoming.

I did pretty well! It helps if you don't get the landlocked central states FIRST. My other weak area are the little tiny NE states.

Wish I could download this puppy so I could practice. Those states in the center of the country are killers. I dare anyone to position them within 100 miles!

I got Kansas within 80 as the first state to place.
