Not sure why, but every answer I type in on my phone the screen jumps back to the ad and I have to go back down and pan around looking for a blue state.

Not sure I can do much from my end, sounds like a potential bug with the mobile site?

Possible workaround: view the page "as Desktop Site", it's usually available on most browsers and will show you the page as if your phone is a little browser. This should fix most problems I would think. Also, because you're not having to read anything for the quiz, it means you don't need to zoom in to see anything, just enough to see the map.

How did you make this? It's a great idea.

Not easily! The map essentially has three copies of itself, a white layer on top, a blue layer below that and then a green layer below that. I've then set it up so that when an answer is correct it hides its blue layer (thus appearing green) and hides the next state's white layer, thus making it blue.

It was quite logically challenging to get this to function within JetPunk's restriction!

I can't imagine the work it would take, but if you did this same concept as a World Quiz, I can almost guarantee it would quickly become one of the most popular quizzes on this site.

Well done, btw.

that might be because more people are getting fewer correct out of the remaining 46%. thus brining the average down.

I did it so fast that the world turned backwards on its axis and the clock read 4:01 when I was done. I also knitted a jumper. And I was standing on my head.

I’ve been asked to run The World Bank, but I told them they would have to wait until I graduate from The Kim Il-Sung Kindergarten in Pyongyang. I would have done it quicker but Gary Kasparov is a sore loser and wouldn’t get off the phone until I agreed to let him have yet another rematch.

Nice Quiz!

The progress bar is really cool!

I nearly got stuck on the western states.

By the way, will you randomize the order (if possible), and will you make a world version of this? That would be great!
