Default My new favourite online game!

http://www.addictinggames.com/50states.html

Dont ask me why I cannot stop playing this game...because frankly I dont know...I just tried it once and now want to keep on playing it. At first I thought it would be very easy.....but it all depends on which states you get first. Anyways see how you do.....It took me 55 turns the first time I did it.....but after playing it 10 times I have gotten perfect a few times, but am averaging about 53 turns to complete the map. For our American posters.....I hope you are better at this then us Canucks!

38 perfect out of 51 turns
74.50 score

Not bad for the first try. I really suprised myself at how close I was to some of them. I had it in the right area, but was off by just enough not to get it.

47 out of 51 Score of 92.15. I got a bit lucky with the order though, getting fed costal states on the east before the inland ones helps.
