    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.

    It does allow you to skip a state and come back to it later if you want/need to.

    Skipping is the key. Once you pointed it out I got it right away.. however it still took me three minutes.

    My issue was that when you clicked and got one wrong, the screen would shift an inch and I wasn't sure how far I was off. Exactly where RI is, VT and NH, and picking Kansas or Oklahoma out of the thin air is what got me. Took me 4-5 misses before I did it in 4 with no skips. Skips are the key.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    Right on the skipping. Locating NH, Delaware and RI were my downfalls. After learning to skip it took me three tries to learn the NE then I was good. Very tempting to look at a map, but I refrained. Damn, I feel like I just passed 5th Grade again.

    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
