    94%. Missed South Dakota (which I had to open with), South Carolina and West Virginia, largely because that part of the country was wide open when I got it (i.e. no Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky).

    Avg margin O' error: 8 miles.

    Got Wyoming on my third state and nailed it. The rest was cake.

    I've seen this game somewhere else. And it's easy. Of course I'm also a U.S. geography nerd.

    There's also a Europe one, OTOH, that made me its bitch.

    The fucker gave me Missouri first, and I missed it by like a couple of millimeters. And it's my home state. :-\

    Kentucky and West Virginia screwed me, as did North Dakota.

    FINALLY got 100%, which meant that West Virginia, Oklahoma, South Carolina and South Dakota -- the four states that took turns screwing me -- finally fell into line.
