4. It's poorly written IMO
If you drop the name of the state back in the names area you should'nt lose a point.

13. I finish the 'game' and it goes right back to the start page
Not even a reward!

Rewards, no matter how trivial are the BASE of games. You think Mario Bros would ever ship without a stupid movie at the end? HELL NO!

15. Ditto. Never even saw my score.
Then again, I can assume that it was perfect now, can't I?

17. You, too? I've taught both of my kids to be able to
identify all the states by outline (for whatever that may be worth), and to navigate by using a REAL MAP, not Maptech "directions." (Quotation marks because they're usually wrong. For example, if you give them the ZIP code of our town, it identifies it as "Fenwick, CT." There's no such town. Fenwick is a section of our town which doesn't even have its own post office.)
