Here's my attempt. A little more practice and maybe I can do better.

Ok, I finally beat the top score! 227 baby! I was a bit of work and the key was to memorize the number of key strokes for the difficult to place small states (R.I. , CT and VT) are from the edge. This allows for some quick key taps to get the position and then drop it with the spacebar like a rock. I have many sub 3 min scores and can score under that every time now. You also need practice to eyeball the position of every state so that you never have to wait for it to drop on its own. As soon as you see the state, you have to be able to drop it in place as fast as it will go. If you miss one, then just retry without finishing to keep from wasting time. I knew to win, it would have to be perfect.
