    The European mind tried.

    I did pretty well with North Mexico, but South Canada and West Greenland are a total writeoff.

    Looking at a real map… I think I may have misunderstood the assignment.

      The “Ohio? Or is this Ohio?” is a great way to start a fight in both states, depending on how dedicated to American football the listener is.

      10/10

        From Ohio. I don’t do football but laughed hysterically when I saw what they did for ohio.

          Same.

          I imagine it’s partly because we “don’t do football”

          I have a little giggle to myself every time one team beats another and half of my family is pissed and the other half is happy.

      Not bad. Your South Carolina state is Alabama BTW, the home of Forest Gump!

    I passed by this post, because this isn’t the place for straightforward map quizzes.

    I came back to it some time later, and said to myself “You know what? I think I can do well on this quiz” and started taking it.

    Kudos, sir. This is a good post.

    Finally a detailed map showing North Georgium and South Georgium separately. I hate that people are getting lazy and treating both of them as singular like they do the word “data”.

      They were smart and put it in the middle. They knew ppl start at the ends. I started west coast and went down the Mexican border without seeing anything until Oklahoma.

    I noticed Oklahoma was missing its handle, as I was going around from the PNW down and around past where I currently live, then I noticed Alabama and Georgia were screwed up, then I started to notice all sorts of middling states wrong line markers, and the Kentucky-Indiana got merged, then I stopped naming the states and started looking for all the wrong lines comparing with a map to see if I can spot all the wrongs… so I never actually finished but I got over halfway before my ADHD got the better of me.

    My new favorite game is asking people where Ohio is on a map. Everyone has seemingly heard of Ohio but it’s like a myth, some land unmarked on all maps.
