Many of them purely by elimination

Erm... How does that even work?
Like this:
A --> B B --> D C --> C D --> A
for one group, and
A --> B B --> A C --> C D --> D
for another.
By the way:
-
- And I can name only 10!

I missed or mixed up plates from some of the Midwestern states. I've lived in the West, the South, and now the Northeast, so they were pretty easy to match up.
-
@djls45 Didn't screenshot but same. Swapped Nebraska and Montana
-
@RaceProUK said in 🚘:
Not bad, for where you're respectively from.
That has to have been on purpose. :P

That definitely can help. If they listed all of them on one page, would that have been harder, do you think?

What area did you miss or mix up states?

Montana is "Big Sky Country", which made that one easy.
-

It wasn't many, and they were pretty scattered. I got everything in the Midwest, Northeast, and Southwest correct, so I think it's related to places where I've lived.
-

you'd be correct. i actuall.y got 50/50
course the fact that for rasins i have a printout of all state license plate designs on my desk allowed me to cheat like a dirty little cheater.

@accalia All this time, claiming you're a fox, when in reality, you were really one of these:

nah, though i do fursuit as a cheetah when i play poker.

Hm, I am guessing US plates are typically trickier than European ones?
-
@PleegWat Doesn't help that they removed all the state names and shapes. If you did that with the EU ones, you'd remove the only obvious method of identification.
-
@RaceProUK Ah, so. You'd still have colour combinations, fonts, and character grouping to work with.
-
Not bad for a Canadian!
-
colour combinations
Well, not really: it's either black-on-white or black-on-yellow, and some countries (like the UK) use both.
-
EDIT: And I've never been to the US
-
@RaceProUK I'll admit I don't have a clue what eastern europe uses too. And yeah, several countries use different combinations in front/back, or vary over time.
-
@RaceProUK living in western Poland, I've only seen Polish, German, Czech, and Warsawian plates, but I can tell them apart just by looking at font.
-
-
@hungrier they sure as hell drive differently. It's very practical to spot them from far away
-
@accalia Doesn't that make it extremely hard to see your cards without revealing them?
-
I got 39 but I've never lived outside of NYS and probably only visited or drove through a dozen states or so.

PRACTICE! :-)
-
@JazzyJosh
No, because she's playing with a marked deck, so she never has to look at her cards at all to know what they are.
-
I scored 40. Not bad for a native USAan who's never been to either the east or west coasts, unless you count the Idaho-Oregon border as west enough.
-
I mixed up Louisiana and Maryland. I somehow forgot The War of 1812 had a bunch of battles in Maryland, and not Louisiana.

-

Considering most states have quite a few different designs... Not sure how many we (CA) have, but I'm pretty sure it's well north of a dozen...
-
@dcon They're 50 different designs, each of which is unique. The only way to know them is to either see them regularly or look at the name on the plate...
And they change regularly - every couple years or so, they redesign the plates...

Yeah, I recognized a few of these as old versions.
And sometimes there will be a "special issue" plate design for a limited time, so people can choose the special design or the regular one.

Got that the second time though, on the first one I was 46.
Indiana is old (I think, not 100% on that), a lot of guessing involved, but I got them without having to look anything up!

- All through either wild guesses or working out that something like "The Empire state" would probably be New York
-
@ben_lubar Pfft. I can beat tha-
Ah... I appear to have overflowed...
-
@sloosecannon My point was that remembering a state's plate by design isn't enough. You need to remember all N designs for that state. (Looks like we have 14 right now: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/online/elp/elp) And this is ignoring old designs.

I don't think that counts
-

I count 117 special plate designs for Virginia:
Plus the standard, of course, brings it up to 118.
-
@dcon indeed, and I agree with it :)

Probably. That's why I posted my original score too
-
However my score is invalid since I accidentally cheated on Mississippi. I opened the image in a new tab in hopes the actual size was bigger and I could read what it said on the guitar. I couldn't, but the URL said Mississippi.
-
You correctly matched 48 states.

That one was tough, but FYI, the 1815 mentioned on the Louisiana plate actually does have to do with the war of 1812 unless I'm quite mistaken.

Ah, you're right. I thought that was referring to its statehood, but it's referring to The Battle of New Orleans.
