    Threw me when it offered me Utah first. That's just mean. And I noticed after placing a few states that it gives you the state name on the top of the screen (in big letters, can't see how I missed it), which is handy for anyone yet to try it out.

    Nice find Tusky. Now, anyone want to try it out on a few American highschoolers or presidents?

    That's surprisingly hard. Strangely, New England gets quite easy because it's just like a jigsaw but most of the dumbass, sorry homeland, sorry midwestern states are tricky enough!

    joke is on you pal.... are you american by any chance???

    south dakota is called so as the 'south' part of the name is in relation to the other state with a similar name.. as in 'north' dakota..

    the same applies to virginia and 'west' virginia.. meaning west of virginia...

    north carolina and south carolina... is there a pattern emerging here???

    doesn't really matter where it is in the country..
