Draw All US State Borders - Extreme

Type the name of two US states that share a border, and that border will be drawn. Also, draw the coasts and international borders. To make coasts, put the name of the state and the body of water. For the great lakes, you must specify which lake it is. To make international borders, put the name of the US state and the name of the state in the other country (Canada or Mexico).

Don't forget the non-contiguous states, they're in here :)

Wow, great quiz! Only missed some of the Mexican ones. It took some time to spell Saskatchewan right, I never noticed that my usual spelling, Saskachewan, was not the correct one.

For most geography enthusiasts, this shouldn't have been that bad. The Mexican states would be the biggest challenge for most people, in addition to not forgetting a few obscure state borders. It's A LOT of typing, though.

Excellent quiz!

However, should be a bit more forgiving to foreigners. Not only we are learning US geography, but to torture us with spelling. Lost a lot of time typing Rhodes over and over again, to find out after the quiz that it is Rhode Island :D

Massachusetts is something which also took minutes to figure out.

Result - disappointing 108

In summary, great test, but should be made easier for those who know, but cannot spell properly the names.

Most Mexican states don't have two-letter abbreviations. Baja California (B.C.), Nuevo Leon (N.L.), and sometimes Quintana Roo (Q.R. or Q.Roo) are the only ones. The ones that border the U.S. are B.C., Son., Chih., Coah., N.L., and Tamps.

If you look at the percent correct, you can see most people start at the left and move right, then move across to Texas and Florida and also pick up the north-souths, surely state-to-state contacts in Carolina and the Dakotas. I started at the left as well. Had to look at the big box to discover I'd missed the nearly invisible land border east of Delaware Bay.

Aw man, I never expected the fact that I also needed to name all the bordering lakes and oceans. The Mexican and Canadian states were also difficult but I got a lot of them, except the ones in Texas (at least I only got Chihuahua). This quiz is a brilliant idea.
