1. Wow. Got all 50 with 4 minutes to spare, but Pennsylvania and Indiana took some grinding.

2. I missed, like, loads of states because I think I have alzheimer’s. But I got 84% and 43 miles accuracy. Which I don’t think is bad for a British born Canadian who has spent only (sadly, only) 1/3 of his life in Canada.

3. All states, 1:56 remaining;

   98% 1 mile accuracy.

4. You were totally adopted.

5. No, just born in Texas.

6. To different parents.

7. All states, with well over 7 minutes remaining. Three tries on the second one: 9, 6, and 4 miles, respectively. On the first try, the first state it gave me was Utah: come on! And I am going to propose a Constitutional Amendment whereby Wyoming and Colorado exchange a county, at gunpoint if necessary.

   Now, how about a Canadian one for Americans? And you’d get only some absurdly short amount of time to name all ten provinces. Or the last ten prime ministers. Or any two governors-general.

8. Adrienne Clarkson & Michelle Jean (GG)
   Frankly, most Canadians wouldn’t get that one.
   And don’t forget, besides the provinces, they gotta name the territories (3 at last count…)

9. oh man, i missed 9 states!

10. All states, four minutes left. 94%, 8 miles accuracy — I flubbed on Connecticut, Kansas, and one of those other middle states.

11. I did very well actually…would have done better but the “sticky” cursor wouldn’t let go of the states where I put them! I know -it’s a poor workman who blames her tools-and I don’ t mean my geography teachers either! I think it’s unfair to ask one to begin with a squareish state in the middle of the country!! E-gad!

12. Got all 50 states w/ 3.5 min to spare and 17% accuracy on the map. I’m with Mom – buggeritall sticky cursor…

    So Megmeister, are you going to cook up a Canadian quiz for us?

13. The states quiz would have been easier had I done the state placement map first.

    I suck. Well, at geography anyway. Maybe I’m just getting dumber…is that even a word?

14. Um. I am humiliated.

    To be fair though, I never cared. At all. I failed my state capital test like eight times and I was still top of my class.

    Ontario? Vancouver…um…Quebec? I think I would do even worse on a Canadian one. Prime what now? Minister? Eh?

15. Didn’t try to remember the state names – attention span is just too short to focus on something like that for 10 minutes.

    But 94% with 4 miles of accuracy – two early ones where Colorado and Tennessee –palease!

16. How are you on Africa?

17. 100% on the state names, 5 minutes to spare.

    8 miles accurate on first state locator run through. It is tricky when they give you those middle states like Iowa and Indiana first.

    Gonna go try the Africa one right now.
