Do you know your states?

96%, 4 miles off average, 48 out of 50 perfect.

It gave me Tennessee first. I was off by about 40 miles. Then I screwed up with my mouse on Delaware and was off by 20 miles.

The capitals would be a challenge - I remember one quiz where you had to name the capitals and place them in the state. I didn't do so well. I knew most of the names, but having not travelled much, I'm not familiar with their locations in the state - except in the west.

You should watch, 'How the States got their shapes' on the History channel. Incredibly interesting. You can find past episodes on Hulu.com too.

Borders fascinate me ----

Try explaining the Middle East Borders, some time.
