although, in the interest of full disclosure, that was my second time. The first time, it started with Kansas and I was about 200 miles off. But come on, Kansas? I'm a journalist, for heaven's sake. Everyone knows we don't do red states.
OK, tell what you all (would they say "ya'll" in Kansas?) got on the quiz. Peer pressure. We'll see who's s-m-r-t smartest.

Lebanon, Kansas is the geographic center of the contiguous US. They do not say "y'all" there.
OK, no "ya'll" in Kansas. I actually am a little ashamed of my ignorance of the Midwest.

My knowledge of the Midwest is very bad.

What can I say; all the square states in the middle look alike. Also, I think my accuracy on this would greatly depend on which states they gave me first.
Woo! 48 out of 50! It's hard as heck to drop states like West Virginia, Kansas and Rhode Island onto the map when there aren't any adjacent states already in place as guides.
The U.S. quiz is a cakewalk compared to the Africa quiz (level 3) though.
