Can you pass third grade geography?

All you have to do is match the name of the state with their shape. Sounds simple, right? Maybe, maybe not, especially since there's a time limit.

I'm embarrased to admit I failed twice before I got it When I was a kid I knew all the states and their capitals. I guess we lose brain cells as we get older (I've sacrified many to alcohol alone).

Hmm...45/48 ...Not bad for a Canuck

Oh, man, that is the coolest avatar I've ever seen. You rock, Dandy Highwayman

Perfect score on my first try. But that is only because there are certain things in my mind that just stick over the years, and the shape of the states + their location are part of those "certain things." Had it been shapes of countries, I would have been screwed.

East as 1, 2, pi. Or something like that. The states are mad easy. Try this. We had to memorize every country in the world in the 7th grade. Sadly enough, I still have most of them memorized.

Problem is that a lot of them have changed.

WOOOHOOO!! I got them all with time to spare! Of course, it helps that I have two girls in elementary school. The 2nd grader is starting on this now and the 6th grader did it a few years ago. Right now the 6th grade is on Latin America. They did Europe the first quarter. Is there a test on that somewhere? I might actually be able to pass that one.

When we were moving I found a globe that is between 20 and 25 years old, so I let my oldest take it in to school so the kids could see the differences just a few years make in the world. They were really surprised at the number of countries that just don't exist anymore.

44 out of 48. It's all those tiny states on the east coast that get me.

Why do I always forget that Arizona is a 4 corner state?

I've played it three times and the best I've got is about 20.

Meh. Give me a European version and I'll do fine.

Yahaaarrr!! I knew someone else would like the avatar

BTW, all of the males look this good up here in Canada...

I got 29, which is a bit pants really. Why are so many states the same shape??!! California is easy, as are Texas and Florida and I have a keyring in the shape of the state of Massachusetts All those square states make it really hard !

I'm with FF. Give me a Euro version and I'll be happy. Heh, give me a map of the world and I'll be happy.
