If I Were Hiring A National Political Consultant...
...I'd prefer someone with a near-perfect score on this:
Something above 80%, at least, with a low average distance error. I think I lucked out with a perfect score on the first try. It would be more difficult if you had to begin with Kansas or Colorado or Tennessee or Kentucky. Incidentally, I had no idea I was being timed.

I thought it was a little too touchy on the placement (I got Texas "wrong" because of a sloppy drag-and-drop). And yes, it's brutal to get those interior states first.
90% | avg error: 20mi | 210sec

Yeah, I was being probably too precise with my drags and drops. You can be a little off and it will still count.

I'm a moron. 79%, but a good bunch of them were because I slipped and hit the right mouse button. Sill, I'd say really 85% would describe me well.
Embarrassing. While I could write the program to actually DO this, I couldn't tell you where the states go.

Hmm, 68%, Average error 136 miles, 487 seconds.
But I'm an Australian, so I reckon I deserve to be cut a little slack =P
Really educational, though. I liked it!

90%, 12 mi avg. error, 274 sec. I got hosed - my second state was Idaho, and I missed, as Harry Doyle says, "just a bit outside." I also got hosed with Arkansas with nothing else around it.
