This is a fun test.  Those in the middle can be tricky without other boundarys.  It's different each time.

Unfortunately one I missed was Hawaii ::) let go a little to soon and was to far out of bounds.

I did pretty good, except for trying to dump Califunny off in the middle of the ocean..... I thought you were supposed to put them where you'd like them, rather than where they are now.
I hope my ship comes in before the dock rots!

I missed Kentucky by over 100 miles. ::) I always knew that I was lost and didn't know where I lived. In my defense it was one of the early states to come up and I didn't have anything to go by. Like scgargoyle, I kind of missed Kalafornia a little to the left. ;)
