    Test Your Geographic Knowledge of the USA

    Try and fill in this map without lines.

    I have to admit; Missouri, Iowa Nebraska and Kansas gave me fits.

    I tried 3 times and didn't get far.

    You would do better if it let you start in the middle and build outward.

    I can touch the same place for a state and get a right and a wrong. I am using an iPad though so don’t know if that is part of the problem.

    It's super sensitive.. the pointy finger on the "hand" is where you have to be. You damn near have to be centered up on some states.

    Rhode Island and Delaware are a pain in the ass to be sure! I was doing it on a 21" monitor and it was tough not toughing a nearby state.

    This will either make you feel awesome, or make you punch your monitor lol

    Those were the two that I kept having problems with. I had to figure out exactly where to touch for it to work. Once I got that firugred out, I was able to knock out the whole map with 5:21 remaining.

    I got ten correct in ten seconds then it asked to find Mississippi, I clicked the right location and it told me it was wrong.

    The game/app does not function properly.

    As a kid I was my school district's geography B champ, the harder states would be the New England areas as the map is not large enough to click on an area for the smaller states as it bunches them all up.

    It's finicky but it works.

    Ah well, after it told me I was wrong when I pressed the cursor over the right area I bounced. YMMV.
