I went further and measured the exact sizes of each state to the pixel: https://imgur.com/a/d6ruHvs really nerd sniped myself lol. The post includes excel screenshots as well as text, and the image I used at the bottom. Will explain methodology if anyone wants. Obviously all these discrepancies are due to the fact that the states actually have to fit together for the joke-map to work.

:Having the pixel area for each state in the explanation would be really nice! Do you count the "border pixels" (or maybe half of them) to the pixel area? (not sure if that would be sufficient to have Alaska stay atop of Arizona ...) --[[Special:Contributions/172.71.160.32|172.71.160.32]] 14:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC) | :Having the pixel area for each state in the explanation would be really nice!

:I was going to take some time to establish 'drawn areas', myself (perhaps work out if it were contained area, 'hull' area, one-axis scale, etc) and add the likiest metric in the "Alphabetic" group of columns (remember to re-colspan!), but looks like like you've got that covered...

::"''I was going to take some time to establish 'drawn areas''" --- When I was a boy, they had planimeters. You run the pointer around your figure and it computes area with two wheels. Magic? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMvEOmpy8Kw Among other chores, they computed the area of the PV diagram of a steam engine. --[[User:PRR|PRR]] ([[User talk:PRR|talk]]) 20:08, 3 May 2024 (UTC) | ::"''I was going to take some time to establish 'drawn areas''" --- When I was a boy, they had planimeters.
