Okay, you two smarty pants.....LOL
96%?
73% here....
I need borders and when you're given a state in the middle out west or on the east coast (except for the larger states), I'm lousy at that....LOL

I'm sorta sick today so I couldn't exactly navigate, but I still got 40 out of 50 right (80%), average error 17 miles, in 134 seconds.
EDIT tried it again and I got 46 out of 50 right (92%), average error 7 miles, in 120 seconds.

94% perfect
5 miles avg Error
438 seconds
The first couple interior states that have nothing next to them are the hardest.
I'll try again and see if they're in random order

They are. If you're lucky then all the coastal states will come first followed by interior states. If you aren't then it starts out with a state in the Great Plains or the Intermountain West (on my first attempt I had Colorado as my first state

Going for my 3rd try. Man, I'm addicted to this
96% average error 6 miles in 205 seconds...not bad considering my first three states were Kansas, West Virgina, and Wyoming
