Ridiculous game as it changes the order randomly. Start with Wyoming or Kansas and even an expert would have trouble placing them perfectly. Start with the edges and fill in from there even a person who has never seen a map of the US would be able to score 100%

Indeed. I had several early landlocked states that made it really tough.
 
The game should have us place each piece blindly to be more accurate. By the end, I was fitting states by dragging them around until I found a spot where they could fit.

I got Kansas when the thing was nearly empty, and wow it was sort of hard to guess exactly where it was to go.

Mine would have been better, but I rushed on placing Alaska...as if a monkey couldn't tell where to place it. Jesus.

196 seconds, btw.
 
Wow europe is hard. Last time I studied europe half of the countries did not exist, and we never covered all the little dinky ones like Malta. 70% and 180 miles. Heh heh.
 
96%, 2 miles, 226 secs

Haven't spent much time around an atlas lately, but I used to have my frequently have my nose buried in some atlas, almanac, encyclopedia, or other fact-finding book when younger. I would so kick ass at Millionaire or Jeopardy!...
 
~94%, 8 mile avg, and I grew up overseas 😉

Time doesn't count for me, since I had to keep hiding the window so as not to get caught at work 😛
 
My mouse is imprecise and registered a "jump" right before I clicked. I have to be the only player in history to get Hawaii "wrong". WTF :|
