17mi and 27 mi It's always the first mid western state being off by just a little because of missing points of refference.

Or any state that doesn't have a coast, for that matter. Especially the square ones.

That site has games to test your knowledge about countries of the world as well.

25 miles, I had 3 mid west state to start off with, and didn't line up Hawaii perfectly so they counted that off? What the heck, I wasn't exactly trying to jam it into Rhode Islands slot.
