Do you know your states?

Take this interactive geography quiz (thanks, Nate!) and see how easily you can kick my ass.

(Geography: not my strong suit. I had 88 percent accuracy with an average error of 27 miles. And I know of at least two of you who will probably ace this.)

94%, error 12 miles. Of course, the first state I got was KENTUCKY!!! Crap.

92 percent, error 8 miles.

Drove myself nuts getting all those New England states to fit; pity the fool who draws Kansas on the first try.

We play this geography game all the time: http://www.geosense.net/

Just click visit instead of sign in and try your hand at the U.S. map. I've whittled away several hours playing Geosense instead of, say, doing work.

Kansas on the first try? I'd relish the opportunity! I just got Tennessee on my first try. Ugh.

But I fared better: 96 percent with a three-mile average error.

Oh, Nick! I thought for sure you'd ace it. (But it's no surprise you did that well.)

96 percent, avg. error 3 miles ... I got Iowa early on, dammit. And Mom didn't think geography would be a worthwhile college major. -- EMorse, TCE
