MAP OF USA ...WOW...!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonder how a high school senior would do on this one. See how you do in placing the states of the United States of America .

All you do is look at the top of the page and drag'n'drop the state where it belongs. Smart map, varies the order of the states' placement with each new try!

It isn't easy mostly because placing a state in the precise location when it as yet has no boundaries in place is a bit tricky! No half credit for close but over a tad.....

For me, it was Nebraska that was out there all alone. I was perfect East to West, but too far south.

It was fun!

But I had good teachers as my kids made me do this when they were going through geography so the error is all Lowbatt-induced.

I didn't know it was timed either, so I tried placing it really close.
