Title: Online quiz: how well can you draw the outlines of all 50 states?
Post by: kurumi on July 07, 2017, 12:07:40 AM

The page grades each of your attempts, and even builds a US map using your outlines.

Does being a roadgeek help? Possibly.

(How fun would it be to have a Google Maps app with all the route markers blank, and you have to fill them in from memory?)

Rhode Island bothered me. I drew in Narragansett bay, but they didn't.

For what it's worth, here's my final map. It turns out I draw like a five year old with my mouse.

Apparently I draw like a man with severe Parkinson's when trying to do it with a mouse.

The rum I've had this morning probably hasn't helped either. ;-)

I got three A+: Wyoming, Nebraska, and New Mexico.

Three Fs: New Jersey, Hawaii, and West Virginia. I dispute the first two but WV, there was no hope. Your state sucks.

Hey, I started getting tired of it, and made Michigan give the finger.

I think it's fair to say that nothing looks quite as it should on this map. The only A's I got were the square states.

The two that really pissed me off were California and Florida. I got F's on both of them (amongst many other states). While they obviously are far from perfect, they aren't that bad!

Got A+'s on both Colorado and North Dakota. Also somehow confused New Hampshire with Delaware.

I thought I did pretty well, though I whiffed hard on Alaska:

I think that's the best so far. At least your outlines fit together relatively well. Mine looks like a bunch of puzzle pieces laying around.

I trusted my drawing skills on my phone more than I did with a mouse.

Not too bad other than the western half of Alaska falling into the sea, me not even trying to remember how many islands Hawaii has, and...whatever the heck is going on in southwest Texas. Oh, and completely failing to acknowledge the existence of Long Island.

Drawing with a finger was rough. On New Hampshire I accidentally drew Vermont's shape. Then I got North Dakota and drew Vermont because it was on my mind.

I don't remember the A's or A+, but I know I got an F on Maryland and Hawaii

It looks like Michigan is giving the finger to Canada ;-)
I think we all would've drawn better if we had an outline of the US w/out the state lines.
I havent completed my map yet b/c I have a short

attention

span :-)
