94%, 10 Miles, 318 seconds.

My biggest challenge was with Massachusetts.  I kept wanting to put it in Canada or in the middle of the Ocean.

I did pretty bad.
I got 90% in 390 seconds with 15 miles.  I should have done better, because I have memorized the states shapes and where they are.  I just kept getting them placed a little off.  I'll try again.

Not bad for a furrenner!

It's a lot easier when you only have 6 states and 2 territories (plus New Zealand!)

Even a card carrying member of the National Geographic Society has trouble putting the cursor over those tiny New England states.

I'm going to have to start over. One of my other explorer windows came to the front, and I dropped Indiana in the Gulf of Mexico.  ???

The order you get the states in makes a big difference.  The only state I got this time without any type of established border was Missouri, and that was my only miss.

90%, 7 miles.  Like Nick,  I had a terrible problem with Rhode Island and New Hampshire

First try was:

96%
3 miles
497 seconds (I was on the phone.)

Second try:

100%
0 miles
281 seconds   :D

It all depends on the starting point they give you.  In my second try, the only state that I had to place in the middle without bordering states was Missouri, and I got very lucky!

If you start with big land locked Western states you'll always be off a little bit.

I did much better on my 15th time.  I got 2% and 2504 miles error in 313 seconds.  I bet nobody can do as bad as that!  :p

This game is a little addicting. I was horrible at first (74%) but after practicing I'm getting pretty good. My best score so far is

96 %, 5 miles, 199 seconds.
