5. Apparently Canada annexed it last week. It's now Lower Western Ontario.
I got 46 out of 48. I'm never sure of where Nebraska fits.

6. I would have gotten a perfect score also...
But I tried to drag Michigan to the upper peninsula, just because I have family who is from that area originally. I guess the creators are biased toward the lower peninsula. Oh well. :eyes:

9. I passed with flying colors, but probably only from playing
this game with my 4 year old just this morning. *g*

If you have kids who need to learn their states and capitals, this is a great tool. Only downside is that it doesn't "speak" the names of the states and capitals for guys who aren't reading yet. (also a mouse is better than a trackball for tiny hands.)

13. 48 out of 48
I wonder why they didn't include Alaska and Hawii? Also, I think it's a little much to ask a third grader if he/she can do that. I think know the contiguous 48 is a little more advanced than that.
