40% here, but two excuses:

I'm Canadian
My hand slipped and I accidentally dropped Kansas in the middle of the Atlantic

The northeastern states pwned me sideways. I didn't realize there were so many states north of New York!

60 percent, 67 miles. I got Delaware right on. But all the ones in the middle of the country, Ugh! At at least give us a few rivers and the four corners of NM, UT, CO, and AZ. And good luck getting Wyoming right!

EDIT: 68% / 58 mi. the second time. One more time. . .

EDIT: 74% / 47 mi. the third time. No more.

Math department (me) vs. entire history department at our school with this thing...

I've been practicing...
:D

Sure... they can peg Africa, Middle East, SE Asia...
But I kicked their butts royally on the US states..

100% 151 seconds. (practice practice practice)
I think I can easily cut it down to 100 seconds if I continued trying.

wow.. upload is super super slow from school...
I wonder if I'm just being blocked from uploading the screen capture jpg

Hmm.. timed out, now I can't even log in..
