94%, 11 miles, 339 seconds. Got Rhode Island and Delaware's locations switched. Lucked into Connecticut and Vermont, though. How do you people keep track of those little tiny eastern states? I would be utterly lost within 3 hours.

It's easy, in 3 hours you could traverse most of New England. Plus we express distances up here by time traveled rather than miles, Boston is about an hours drive from here, Vermont is 2 hours, Maine...give it about 2 and a half hours to the border.

Try adding 7 hours to that. Maine is big (for New England.) And that's ignoring Vermont completely.

I guess your car isn't as fast as 404's.

Actually, traverse was probably the wrong word. I meant you could reach most of the NE states borders from where I am in CT in about 3 hours.

44 out of 50, 386 seconds, 26 miles. If you get states in the middle of the country in the beginning, it's tough. Plus I accidentally slipped up with the mouse button on California, which was really bad.

90% perfect, 31 miles avg error, 631 seconds -- first try, will try again after I finish 6th grade geography.
