Average error 15 miles. The first couple were a little difficult to lay in exactly, resulting in 43 of 50 perfectly placed.

Nope, it must be the company's firewall or my browser settings. I'll have a peek when I get home tonight

90%. 26 miles avg. First state was WISCONSIN! Yee Haa!
I didn't realize I had to put Hawaii in the box, so gave me something like 700 mile deficit or I would have done much better. I had trouble with Wyoming also.
Second attempt was only 10 miles avg error. Score still 90?

90%, 9 miles, great fun. It'd be tougher if they'd leave the map blank - rather than fill it in like a puzzle.
