That was totally skewed by the first few being those block-states that could be anywhere. And Oregon....darn oregon.

This computer kind of lags, so I'll try again later. This would have been much, much more challenging if it didn't tell you what state it was at the top before you begin.

That 100% by sir kodiac is impressive. I keep trying but I can't get it. I always get a colorado or Nebraska and don't get it in the exact, exact spot.

I don't see how anybody who made it to high school can possibly do bad on this (percentage wise at least) since it tells you what state it is.
I bet more people on here would do much, much worse if they didn't know what state it was aside from the shape. Wyoming and Colorado might be mixed up, Alabama and Mississippi, New Hampshire and Vermont, and so on.

I'm happy I got 100%, but I'm disappointed in the time. I did it in 154 seconds yesterday (albeit at 98%). I'll try again later.

Here we go... 178 seconds (just under three minutes). Much better, but I bet I can still beat that.

You're 18 TNP? I thought you were older than this. :p

lol no I am 26 :p
but at 18 i could have done probably 94% or so. geography and english (obviously :p) were not my strong points... but damnit I was good at math then... I have lost a lot now, not using any of it but *shrug* who cares... algebra is the only thing that is REALLY used on a daily basis not calculus and stuff liek that...
My grades sucked everywhere else so they would not let me take Calc in HS and I didn't get far enough in College to have to take it

What's to stop you from learning it now? Just like you said you wanted to take ballet classes.

lol ballet... thats right up their with nascar (rage will probably kill me for that one lol) as far as interesting. I have thought about taking it now... I am going to get my degree out of the way 1st... then worry abut non degree classes if I decide to take it

I was thinking just learning it in your free time, without taking a class. Get yourself a textbook and learn, learn, learn! You could do it online as well.
As for ballet, you're out of luck. Didn't you say if ballet didn't work out, you'd start playing soccer? Either that or rugby... I forget.

I think I get EVERY ****ING ONE out there from my family :mad: And they flip out and take it personally if I block or tell them to stop. So I now have several E-mails.
