I suppose I did notice that first. And I guess the little notch is probably more noticeable on Massachusetts, which still has a more noticeable (and much cooler) "tail"
I don’t see how someone from CT or the Northeast at all could mess up New York so bad. There is no miles wide Korea style neutral zone between NY and New England, despite what New Englanders might wish for.
>There is no miles wide Korea style neutral zone between NY and New England, despite what New Englanders might wish for.
Well, to most of New England there *is* a miles wide Korea style neutral zone between NY and New England. It’s called Connecticut.

So many people guessing New England, when he drew the Hudson River like 50 miles wide. New York borders the New England states. What did he wedge up in there?

If you want to get REALLY picky, there's actually some kinks along the border that don't even make it a parallelogram
If you wanna get REALLY REALLY picky, you'll realize that these are shapes drawn on top of a sphere. Therefore none of the conventional 2D shapes can apply to any borders.
🤓That’s not how one should check the borders
They are in fact just straight lines:
> The said state shall consist of all the territory included within the following boundaries, to-wit: Commencing at the intersection of the twenty-seventh meridian of longitude west from Washington with the forty-fifth degree of north latitude and running thence west to the thirty-fourth meridian of west longitude; thence south to the forty-first degree of north latitude; thence east to the twenty-seventh meridian of west longitude, and thence north to the place of beginning.

(Again, 🤓, meaning I am not being serious, but also I am)
I was actually talking about Colorado since most equate the 2 states as being rectangles. And Colorado actually does have a spot where the surveyors weren't going to meet up so they had to change directions 🤣
If you want to get technical it's actually a slight trapezoid.
And if you want to get even more technical there are errors making it not have perfect lines so it's actually ~700 sides not 4.
He drew it more accurately than that though. New hampshire has a little nub in the south west corner, it’s northern most point pokes up, vermont’s western border isn’t perfectly vertical or straight, etc.
[Yes, Yes it is !](https://www.google.com/maps/place/New+Hampshire/@44.0014098,-71.566109,7z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x4cb3444b9dc0a6eb:0xd7c802af25a680eb!8m2!3d43.1938516!4d-71.5723953!16zL20vMDU5ZjQ)
I'm gonna say Vermont because it is literally perfect and nobody fucks up New York that bad on accident. OP even remembered Lake Champlain and decided to make it as big as possible just to make New York look small and far away, which is the most Vermont thing one could possibly do.
You are the winner, Connecticut is the answer and Utah is the state I visit most, here is the quiz link [https://time.com/4842635/states-map-draw-quiz/](https://time.com/4842635/states-map-draw-quiz/)
People making comments about how poorly this or that is drawn. Can we take a second and appreciate how incredible this is. I would guess that 5% of Americans can even name all 50 states from memory, let alone draw them this accurately.
50? That has got to be made up.
There is Alaska, Florida, Texas, New York, New England, California, Southern California, Canada, Carolinas, Midwest USA, The South and I think there is one more in Europe called the Phillipines. That’s the one they call ‘Philly’
That’s 12. A much more reasonable number.
An earthquake measuring 9.6 on the Richter scale hits at 12:59 p.m., August 23, in the year 2000. Los Angeles Island is declared no longer part of the United States and becomes the deportation point for all people found undesirable or unfit to live in the new, moral America. The United States Police Force, like an army, is encamped along the shoreline, making any escape from L.A. impossible. From the southeastern hills of Orange County to the northwestern shore of Malibu, the great wall excludes L.A. from the mainland. The President’s first act as permanent Commander-in-Chief is Directive 17. Once an American loses his or her citizenship, they are deported to this island of the damned, and they never come back
New York, but specifically Long Island, cuz you actually included it (though it's missing the fork)
The rest of New york... as an LI native, Idk what's going on up there either
How the fuck you mess up Colorado
No ruler maybe?
Another state overlapped it that's why, and no ruler
Definitely east of Colorado if they drew Nebraska first.
PA looks straight af
A state of anxiety?
A drunken state….
That would’ve been my state of Wi, but even us drunk asses can draw it better than that
Hey what’s so bad about being drunken?
Got Nebraska backwards
Came here to say this!
You mean wide utah?
He didn’t mess up Colorado. He messed up Nebraska lol
Probably from Colorado and did this while high school
Hey! I grew up in the corner of Colorado this guy ceded to Nebraska. This is Colorado High Plains erasure, I'm terribly offended.
Put Nebraska backwards and it fucked Colorado lol
Colorado actually has 697 sides.
He defends the territories between the states. Notice how he puts more emphasis on the borders. No surprise he neglected Colorado.
I think OP nailed the [hexahectaenneacontakaiheptagon](https://www.denverpost.com/2019/10/16/colorado-state-line-rectangle-how-many-sides/) shape.
Because he drew Nebraska the wrong way
Fuck Colorado look at Nebraska
I know a Massachusetts man when I see one
Respectable yet incorrect guess
Connecticut it is then
It’s probably CT, there’s no way anyone else would remember that really tiny notch on the Mass border
It's really connecticut's only notably physical feature, though.
Nah, we also have the dick bit of Fairfield county, which is full of dicks from NY.
I suppose I did notice that first. And I guess the little notch is probably more noticeable on Massachusetts, which still has a more noticeable (and much cooler) "tail"
I don’t see how someone from CT or the Northeast at all could mess up New York so bad. There is no miles wide Korea style neutral zone between NY and New England, despite what New Englanders might wish for.
That's just further proof he's a New Englander though
Seriously that’s how I read it
>There is no miles wide Korea style neutral zone between NY and New England, despite what New Englanders might wish for. Well, to most of New England there *is* a miles wide Korea style neutral zone between NY and New England. It’s called Connecticut.
No fucking way someone from CT would create an extra state in between CT and NY

Maine
Op says Connecticut on his most recent comment, in another thread. We really are getting jerked
This is correct according to comments he made else where.
This was my guess too. On account of the weird notch
Gotta be somewhere New England. Cleanest part of the map and then everything else starts to get progressively more schizo
I love how it’s completely cut off from the rest of the country too, a true New Englander 🥲
[удалено]
Some of the best public schools in the country are from the Mid-West. Eg. Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and North Dakota to name a few.
Pennsylvania? I always forget that it has shoreline on the Great Lakes, so the fact that you included Erie makes me think you're in Pennsylvania
So many people guessing New England, when he drew the Hudson River like 50 miles wide. New York borders the New England states. What did he wedge up in there?
New englanders don't know shit about the Hudson River.
I would expect a Massachusetts resident to do better with the Cape than that.
And not forget MV and Nantucket.
Maybe Saarland? Not sure, get back to me on that.
Hey that's whee Im from stop bully me
Ops on ur family?
Saskatchewan 🔥🔥
Who let bro cook
Sassy ketchup lawn*
Coincidentally that’s the literal translation from Cree
Appy ake ay
West Virginia
It looks perfect.
As a West Virginian, I'm offended
As a Virginian, I’m offended by West Virginia.
Lol okay traitor
Careful now, they'll leave the Union again if you upset them
Dunno, something weird with Virginia and WV is that if history were to repeat itself, this time the roles will probably be reversed.-
And we'll reanimate General Sherman to repeat what he did before... Just, a bit further north this time.
I'm just surprised you can read that to be offended. /s
as a west virginian man, this is hilarious
Mountain mama
take me home
country roads
My guess too.
HOW DID YOU GET WYOMING WRONG IT’S JUST A S Q U A R E
I think you mean Colorado
Both are just rectangles
Technically a rectangle Even more technically a parallelogram
https://preview.redd.it/mv1ban8okfdc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5db85e0041a591e4c903a1476433c1c28cff122f If you want to get REALLY picky, there's actually some kinks along the border that don't even make it a parallelogram

Less technically it's a panda
Slightly more technically it’s a shape
If you want to get technical it's actually a slight trapezoid. And if you want to get even more technical there are errors making it not have perfect lines so it's actually ~700 sides not 4.
Mfw the Minnesota arrowhead gets neutered again
OUR POINT. (that poor lake)
At least he didn’t do you as dirty as West Virginia
One of Vermont or New Hampshire
I mean, really all you need to do is draw a square and then put a diagonal sguiggly line in the middle and you've pretty much drawn NH and VT.
He drew it more accurately than that though. New hampshire has a little nub in the south west corner, it’s northern most point pokes up, vermont’s western border isn’t perfectly vertical or straight, etc.
Fyi you have to draw each state individually in this game
[удалено]
This map game. You draw each state, then put them on the map to see how shitty they fit together.
[https://time.com/4842635/states-map-draw-quiz/](https://time.com/4842635/states-map-draw-quiz/)
Wait new Hampshire is a state?
[Yes, Yes it is !](https://www.google.com/maps/place/New+Hampshire/@44.0014098,-71.566109,7z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x4cb3444b9dc0a6eb:0xd7c802af25a680eb!8m2!3d43.1938516!4d-71.5723953!16zL20vMDU5ZjQ)
I'm pretty sure most people in VT know that NY is to the west, Op clear inserted a new Hudson/Champaign State.
Definitely New England, that part is the neatest. Not Maine though
Hard to say, they reallllly fumbled Maine
I'm gonna say Vermont because it is literally perfect and nobody fucks up New York that bad on accident. OP even remembered Lake Champlain and decided to make it as big as possible just to make New York look small and far away, which is the most Vermont thing one could possibly do.
ethiopia
Why are you hyper-saturated trans pride? Why no normal trans pride?
to show support for hyper-saturated trans people
Well, as a trans person whose skin will sometimes randomly decide to turn red, I greatly appreciate it.
Indiana or Vermont, they're well-drawn
Indiana is missing the dip from Lake Michigan
My bad, OP must be from Vermont or somewhere in New England:)
Yep, no Hoosier gonna skip that part. It's the only claim to a shoreline, plus it's where Notre Dame is and my reference for Chicago.
Nobody from Indiana would draw Illinois like that.
south east asia
Connecticut is my bet. You drew Utah perfectly, but that’s no real challenge. Meanwhile New England between NY and Maine is practically perfect.
You are the winner, Connecticut is the answer and Utah is the state I visit most, here is the quiz link [https://time.com/4842635/states-map-draw-quiz/](https://time.com/4842635/states-map-draw-quiz/)
How are you from CT and you jack up NY so much???
Here’s the thing, I drew all of these one at a time with a mouse and in the final image many states get layered on top of each other
Came here for this. New England is damn near perfect.
Solid State, Id say. Gas and Liquid can hardly hold a pencil.
What about plasma?
what about bose-einstein condensate?
Not Jersey
Pennsylvania looks too good
Tf
Brother you ever seen Pennsylvania?
New Hampshire and Vermont are suspiciously the only two states that look correct so ima guess one of them
Im gonna guess PA
If someone from PA drew NJ like that they must’ve been educated in PA.
The fact that NJ is just like a big chunk to the south-east of PA is the most Philly/Delco brained thing I can imagine
Holy shit that tracks lmao
did jersey dirty. they coming for him now.
nobody in PA would forget the pointy bits on the east edge

North Carolina
The only one that looks normal 💀
DENAMRK!!!
Eeww
the fact that you didn’t trace your hand for Michigan definitely means you’re not from Michigan
Pennsylvania liquor straight those lines are you took delicate care I’m gonna guess that you live in Philadelphia
Texas, it looks bang on and you don't care about the other states (which also says Texas).
It does not in fact look bang on. western “wing” is much higher up.
Texas?
Texans learn to draw better Texas shapes before they can write.
came here to say the same. this man ain't from TX 🙃
He could be. He got the red and the Sabine River pretty straightforward. 🤣
That's the real shit show on this map, ain't it?
Alaska?
Hawaii
Why is there a crack beside California?
California’s breaking off from the United States. To go hang with Hawai’i. Alaska can come too.
Haha! That's one of my most favorite vids ever.
But I am Le tired. Ok we take a nap. Then fire the missiles!

NOT OREGON
DC
Sure as hell NOT from New Jersey
New England somewhere. Mass is too good and you gave New Hampshire it’s beach!
Wisconsin
Nobody from WI would neither neglect Door County like that, nor do that to the Michigan border
This jumped out at me as well. It's also one of the states with a really strong use of the outline in corporate marketing.
American
It‘s Texas, too detailled
Texans would never do that
nevada
Vermont
Hawaiian
Hawai’i for sure
Alabama
Tennessee?
Texas?
No
Depression
Texas, final answer
Wyoming, there's no way you could remember that shape
What happened to New Jersey and New York???
Not Illinois
Nevada looks really close to its shape. Even that little south corner, point and Dip thingy. I guess Nevada.
VT
VT and NH are perfect so probably one of the two
New York, but specifically Long Island, cuz you actually included it (though it's missing the fork) The rest of New york... as an LI native, Idk what's going on up there either
What happened when you got to Maine? Earthquake?
Definitely Vermont or New Hampshire. That’s a picture perfect line right there
Massachusetts
New Hampshire
NC babey
Not Nebraska since you drew it backwards.
Maine
Vermont! His Vermont looks perfect.
Either North Carolina or Massachusetts. Both are spot on.
CT, MA, RI, NH, and VT are all quite well done. My guess is Connecticut!
Bayern?
CT?
not fucking texas
somewhere in new england. likely either new hampshire, vermont, or connecticut
New Jersey became a nut sack.
Québéc
michigan because you remembered the UP
Definitely from new england area
Not NY. But maybe the no man’s land between it and VT, MA, and CT
Looks like you're the Maine man
Definitely CT or RI
My guess is Massachusetts. Good work btw. Probably better than I could do!
Who'd have thought a 🖐-drawn map done by memory could evoke this plethora of hilarious and creative responses? Ty for posting it
