can you pass the third grade?

Neat.
I failed. But then again I've got an excuse.
This isn't my country

I matched most of them before running out of time. I'll try again at lunch...

the short bus refers to the buses that picked up the scholastically challenged people. That was the politically correct way of saying it!

Woo hoo, I passed - I went in alphabetical order of states instead of geographical order... On the short bus topic, I have a yellow xterra and all of my friends call it the short bus. If I could only keep them from marking up the inside of the windows with their foreheads. Now where did I put my white crash helmet...

I DID IT!!

Me too, but it was a close call for some of those new england states for me--i sort of clump them, like your typical californian, for whom even southern california is a different state!

I am Sofa King. We Todd it. (read it out loud, then make everyone in your office do it) It took me 4 tries. But I'm using a crappy laptop, so I had some mouse issues. The second and third tries, I was one or two states away.

After completing that activity, I've decided that I'm not the one who needs to ride the short bus. It's whoever the heck made all those 3 acres states. There should be a minimum size. Pennsylvania size should be as small as it gets. The rest need to annex eachother until they are bigger than my county.

Have you ever been to P'Tucky? We have all the crazy we can deal with (and not so well, I might add). I don't know that we need to annex NJ... Although officially being part of Wreck Valley would be cool...

Pennsylvania is fine. It's at the lower size limit. NJ needs to annex about 10 others and then we might have one decent state up there.

i'm proud to say that i could pass third grade! i bet fourth grade's rough, though.

Well, no promises about 4th grade, but I did third grade all right. I accidentally grabbed the wrong state once, and didn't notice. I really do know that South Dakota isn't where South Carolina goes. Other than that, it was fine. Now if you ask me the capitals of all those states.... I could be in some trouble,

42/48..the NE states were too small to click into...

19/48 I guess that I would not pass the third grade test...not in the US anyways. Now, if I tried the Canadian geography test, I might do a bit better.

Given the same time limit, I would hope so. There's what, a fourth of the clicking and dragging? Actually, while we're on the subject, how many "official" provinces are there? Everywhere I look seems to have a different answer. It seems like you guys do to the Atlantic Tiny Provinces (the other ATP) the same thing we do to new england...

-Frank

10 Provinces: Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia

3 Territories: Nunavut, Northwest Territories, and the Yukon.

It took 3 of us, and the time was down to the wire, but........ those little states in the NE corner kicked our A$$

I passed, but I'm from New England so that's not an issue. My problem was with the large, empty square states in the middle.

Shoot...all but two! Ran out of time!...oh well...the states/capitals test was the first test I ever failed in life...in 6th grade....guess the Navy's improved my geography...oh and having flown/lived IN New England helps we Texans appreciate the smaller, hard to find states...j/k

Aced it...with tons of time to spare...does help that I look at weather maps every day...
