Landlocked states at the beginning will shoot down your average (i.e. there is no frame of reference with other states, coastlines, or borders).

11 Miles and if I had a mouse instead of a trackpad it would have been better!

I agree about the landlocked states... I think I at least had part of the state on each one. Alas, I only got 41 perfect with an average error of 26 miles in 437 seconds! Not too good, considering I've been in 48 of those states at one time or another...

Great excersize- I'll have to take this home to the kids!

What does the mile thing mean? I must be particularly dense this morning.

Ah, the second time through it seemed like the order was a bit easier to place... This will be the time I'll tell the kids (might just forget to mention my initial score ;^)

Pete,
You're right, what comes up early really affects how you do. Placing Kansas, Oklahoma, colorado without any references is very tough.
