Were my drawings not good enough for you?! You needed a REAL map????? That's impossible. Clearly, you aren't one for loose interpretations. Just kidding! Your low score is entirely my fault for giving you very simple drawings that look like they could've been drawn by my dog.

Terrible!

Not too shabby!

You must look at a lot of maps and a lot of drawings made by kindergarteners. You've probably been thinking, "I wonder when staring at all of these maps and kindergarten drawings will ever come in handy." Today is that day!
