Please check if Jefferson City, Mo. is more than 82 miles from the border (which you have as the distance for Columbus).

Google Earth seems to indicate that Jefferson City is 85 miles from the border (Mississippi River).

Yes, it looks like this is the case. Added Jefferson City and removed Montgomery.

I was having a really hard time with this before I figured out that you were looking for city names and not states.

Hmm seemed to forget about Des Moines Iowa which is right in the center of Iowa and has distances farther than 7 of these states on the list. Nebraska is 136.1 miles away, Illinois is 230 miles away, Missouri is 184.5 miles away, Minnesota is 103 miles away. Wisconsin and South Dakota are even farther away.

Are you confusing miles and kilometers? Illinois is about 215 km from Des Moines, but Missouri is only about 70 miles from downtown Des Moines.

I wish this was a bit longer. Doubt I could list all 50 states in this amount of time, let alone consider their capitals' proximities to their borders.
