The next time, I did it strictly in alphabetical order, and only got a couple misses (if you don't count that Michigan problem)

Part of it was that Delaware is do darn small, it's hard to hit it.
Of course, it's still missing Alaska (the biggest state), and Hawaii.
I'd like to see this done on a continent scale too, that might be fun. But I think the thing needs to show how many times you "missed" even if you end up with all of them in the right place eventually (like the first time I played it, I really missed something like 10).
Still, it's pretty cool.
