Things that don't fit anywhere else...

Got all 48... Never mind that I tried to put New Hampshire where Vermont is.

Didn't let me put Michigan on the Upper Peninsula either..

32, but on a laptop.

I think we should have to fly the helicopter and land on each state capital next!!!

On my second try, the blue states worked fine.

But I had all KINDS of problems with the red ones.

HAH!!!

Yeah, and I want a recount - it has long been my opinion that Mississippi should be where Louisiana was mistakenly put. How can the only state that the Mississippi actually runs through, rather than around, not be the one named after it?

:lol: ;) It's the American way. Doesn't make a lot of sense does it?

I got 'em all right on the first run thru -- it told me I had a score of 48/48, but it still said I failed!

(I think it's cause I hit the three-pointer from way downtown for Vermont with less than a full second on the clock.)

Before or after the break up of Russia?

I couldn't do it either way.

I could find the U.S., Canada, Mexico, China, Russia, Italy, Australia (that's an EASY one!), but France and the U.K. are questionable.

I'm pitiful with this stuff. They never taught it, and I never learned it on my own.

European equivalent games - you can choose the level from beginner to 'cartographer'!

But there is no score or pass/fail - which is fairly Yurpeen.

thanks for that link Andrew....I was playing around on that site and it's a great tool to learn the map of Europe especially since it has changed so much. Doug

It would be a little scary after the break up, but still fun...
I remember watching the Olympics one year and seeing countries I had never heard of represented. WOW!!!

Either way I'm going to try the other link now so wish me luck, eh...

I just went there and a big buzzer went off with a huge flash screen that said, "DUMB AMERICAN!"
