oh, and your spelling has to be accurate which can present a problem. i mean, how many people can spell massawhosits? |

Location: New South Wales, Australia | I got 34 which is not bad for an Aussie without a background in geography. The ones I knew all seemed to come from songs I've heard or from too much television. After watching the Wizard of Oz with my daughter only a couple of nights ago I really should've got Kansas |

Location: Central Massachusetts | Randy, for me it went pretty much exactly like Miles described. Got most of them very quickly. I'm more the spacial type so I just worked my way around the map with some occasional jumping around. But I missed the one in the dead center of the map, and for the life of me I couldn't get past Washington DC.. I knew District of Columbia wasn't a state but I had a mental block on what state "surrounds" it. |
