If you think that one’s too easy, why don’t you click [here](http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/USA_G3_click.html)?
I got 90% on my first try. Can anyone beat that?

I love that site. They have map games for all parts of the world. I can consitently get over 90% on all, and 100% on most.

OK… I didn’t need you to point me to that…::shakes fist at **ultrafilter** :: 82%
Should have done better! 🙂

88%. I really get confused around west virginia and that area when there is no borders.

96% on my first try – and the two errors were simply the mouse pointing just off the edge of the state! 😛

68%.
You _don’t_ want me to plan your next cross-country trip.

98%
Like **NurseCarmen** , I was thrown by the area around West Virginia.

76%. A bit disappointing, but then again I don’t live in the US so I have no business knowing where the states are :D.
I tried the equivalent [African Nation](http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/country_Africa_G3_Click.html) one and got 68%. Hey, you try finding the exact location of Rwanda on a borderless map!

48%
But 100% for New England, which is where I grew up.

Hmmm, I tried Africa’s [Level 5](http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/country_Africa_G4_NameInput.html) one and it seems to be a lot easier than Level 4. I got 94%.

84%–but that’s because I couldn’t figure out how to do the test at first. I do tend to mix up Vermont and New Hampshire, though…

Me too; try level 9 (96%, but a definite challenge).

58%, but then I am a furriner.
I tried Level 9 Europe and had to give up.

I got a 94%, just missing Idaho and Nebraska early. I missed New Hampshire twice, though. First I just missed to the right, then I just missed to the left. Stupid New Hampshire. See if I ever visit that state now.

Oh yeah, it took me 176 seconds, too. Forgot to add that. Sorry. I was too busy building up rage at New Hampshire. 🙂

90%. I got Rhode Island _second_. I was clicking around on the upper right hand corner for awhile before I managed to find it. Stupid little states.

100% Baby!
I knew being an Air Force brat had to be good for something.
