    66%, 46 miles. (female ==> no sense of spatial placement anyway, right? :) ) Most of them weren't far off, but enough for the thing to count it wrong. The coastlines were easiest. For example, Connecticut (that I truly didn't really know where was but got right anyway because I could use it as a puzzle piece).

    84%, 15 miles. I got 7 that didn't touch any of the boundaries (UT, NV, TN, MO, AR, SD, CO). I missed Idaho, which is technically a boundary state. I also missed Kansas by about 200 miles.

    basso -- wouldn't 77% be 38 1/2 states correct? How did you manage that? :)

    ...now waiting for DoD to post his 98%, 1 mile reply...

    I kept messing up because I would accidently right-click and when I fixed it, it would drop the state way off....
