Here's a geography test for Americans--the Britons will probably score better than any of us from this side of the pond.

I managed to get 24 before I ran out of time.

I should have mentioned in the original post, you have to get the point of the arrow exactly within the borders of the state, or it bo-bo's you.

39 out of 48 ran out of time and had problems pointing to the smaller states like NY . I won't pick on Vermont because it is sugar season and I don't want them to boycott California . They don't acknowledge Alaska, Hawaii, and the protectorate's (territories, free associations and commonwealths), like Samoa, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Micronesia (?) etc. Jokes about C..... not withstanding.

Tried a couple more times, this is more like a video game checking your reflexes rather than your knowledge. On a laptop with a finger mouse it is impossible, I got 28.

It is rigged. I finally got my eye hand corrdination working and got 48 out of 48 and it said congratulations then it said you failed.

the way it works is rather quirky.

I just did it again and got 48 just as time ran out and it jumped to beginning didn't even give a result.

edit:wait I just noticed the result window same as you azimuth40 48/48 and failed.

Yeah, I'm not sure there's a window for a passing score, but it's kind of fun. I had a rough time with it the first time because I forgot where things are in my own country, but I've improved. I sure wouldn't want to try it on a laptop!
