94% Average error 16 miles. Done in 461 seconds.
It started with Colorado-and that threw me off. If it started with a coastal state (which ever coast), I probably would have done better.

Since you're all dying to know:
I scored 43/50 (86%) on Level 2, with an avg.error of 67 miles, in 286 seconds.
I tried the capitals too (level 2), which went considerably worse (no surprises!): 12/50 (24%) in 363 seconds. But hey - would you know the capitals of our provinces?
For comparison: I scored 43/45 on the European quiz (level 3), only becuase the first country I got was Serbia. Avg. error: 21 miles, time: 287 seconds.

That happened to me, too. It was a country in eastern Europe and I dropped it around Belguim.
