A quick suggestion to quiz takers – on my computer, the relationship between where my cursor is pointed and where Google Maps thinks the cursor is pointed is not perfect, particularly when the red dropped pins overlap. You might have better luck if you zoom in one or two levels when clicking on capitals that are close by each other (particularly in the Northeastern states).
No shade to hugequiz on this – they are doing a great job with the tools available.
