5:31, but those Yankee pieces were pretty non-descript!

That's what the person said who led me there. "Who knew there were all those itsy bitsy states in the east?"

On the other hand, not sure if you are counting all those plain rectangles in the west as "Yankee", but without the hint from the pic those would be damn' hard to put in....

I know my shapes.
I had a wooden map puzzle when I was a kid, and those weird shapes they were trying to pass off as Connecticut and Rhode Island and Delaware were bogus! :)

Yankee is anything East of Pennsylvania and above southern Jersey. :)

And Colorado and Wyoming are Easy. Wyoming is on top ;)

We had one, too, but I don't remember having thoughts about the shapes, one way or another.

One of my friends' son thought, when he was little, that the state names were the names of the shapes. It was "a florida" and "a california"....

I asked her about the rectangles, and she said "Well, duh, a wyoming is a RED rectangle, and a colorado is a BLUE rectangle!"

Oh. Right. Of course......
