This took me a couple of tries to get 1:30.6...I can't believe that I still remember my states back from 6th grade. I forgot what difficulty this was on, but I think it was on hard...hope I win...

I don't believe this score, what did you do? Explain please. How could you drop them into place that fast? A couple of tries? Come on.

I mean, I've played this so many times that I remember where they are. Like the first 10 states are in the bottom area...I mean, sometimes Texas is the first one to drop and I just tap left and hold down...If you wish, I could screen record it...

How come you said that you had to play it only a couple times to get that score, if you played it so many times? I know there is no way you can get that score without playing it for hours and also if you divide the number of states (48) by your time (90 seconds), you get less than 2 seconds per state. Just count the time it takes to get even the easiest states and its at least 2 seconds and several states take about 4 seconds like the tiny states and a few others. Its not a just a matter of knowing where they go, but really zipping them into place with precision accuracy. Plus the fact that you said that you didn't even remember which difficulty level you used. Just think about it, you can't rotate each state around and position each one in less than two seconds each --no way. All you have to do is take a screenshot video with Windows movie maker or a demo version of Camtasia by TechSmith and post it. I have to see that speed to believe it. Thanks to you pushing me, I was able to get my score to 2:04, but 1:30 is impossible, I think. Anyone who plays is and times putting the first 10 states in place will see that it takes over 2 seconds each, slighltly. Post a video screen capture, I have to see that.
Of course Texas or Florida drops first most of the time. But when the states stack up in the middle it takes a lot of time to get states like California over and around the pile because you cannot go as fast dropping them or you will be trapped.

It's alright if you guys don't accept my score. Think of it if it wasn't even there...I'm going through some bad times right now. My friend recently died, and I found out earlier today. So, don't count my score this week...I'm not going to be on mix for a while...

If you don't believe my friend has past on, you can read the news page...

I really don't want to doubt anybody. But that is freakin' fast as hell --the score you made. When you said that you might have gotten that score with the more difficult setting, I about freaked. At least you can try that and admit its impossible on the more difficult settings especially. Hey man, I'm sorry for your loss of a friend. I challenge anyone to be able to even zip the first 20 states into place at less than two seconds each and as you get higher, you can't zip the states down as fast because there are interfering piles of states in the way--interfering with right and left movement. You must align from above precisely and then drop it. Tenessee and Indiana are tricky to hit precisely from far away and if you go slower it takes more than 2 seconds.
