Take a close look at the U.P. You'll notice that although the state of Michigan is highlighted (because I successfully located it), the U.P. remains green, as though it has yet to be named. I'm just like, Hello! Are you trying to give the U.P. to Canada or something???

What I didn't like was the fact that there's no score at all. If you win? You get to...start over!!!
I need a score, even if it's a Best Times list. I need a benchmark upon which to improve, and I need bragging rights...
So here's an alternative, that at least tells you a score at the end. Instead of placing the names on the states, you place the states themselves into the blank U.S. It is harder than it looks.
Place the State
I can totally relate to your need for a score...I felt the same way with the other test. And I did enjoy the test you linked to here. However, it frustrated me because I would get the state in the right location, but maybe just a tiny bit off, and instead of snapping to its correct location, it would tell me I was incorrect. And I don't like it when tests tell me I'm wrong when I'm really right.
Hmm. The great dilemma of 50-state test-taking.
I have learned something from this post. In all the time I've known you and heard about Michigan's UP, I never knew where it was located or what it looked like. In fact, I thought all there was to Michigan was the hand, probably because that's the only part I ever saw you depict. If I had been asked if that land mass was part of the US or Canada, I would have said Canada. Thank you for educating me!
