its easier the second time once you have a  strategy and you know how far off you can be and still have it count as correct. i got 96% in just over 100 seconds the second and third times. Its only hard is when they throw a central state at you in the beginning. if you get mostly coastal states in the beginning you are all set and should get 90% at the very least.

Would be crap at that too - a few years ago they reorganised all the boundaries, creating many more new counties(nearest equivalent to your states, if somewhat smaller), renaming others, reverting back to old names for others. Believe me, I could just about manage Wales. :)

Not even going to try it!! 10 years of listening to jambands and 8 years of collecting concerts has given me an idea of some of the states\' names (could probably have named only ten or so before then), but location - not a chance.:)

i guess all those days spent lookin at maps in the backseat of a car in random parts of the country finally amounted to something tremendous.
