I missed Massachusetts, Delaware, and Wisconsin .

I hit a brick wall after 3 minutes with 5 states left. I couldn't think of any of those 5 for the remaining 7 minutes. :mad:

I forgot Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska

It's hard without a map in front of you...

Did it on my second try in less than 5 minutes.

Did it in 2 minutes, 29 seconds on my fourth try. :neckbeard:

Gah, I had hit a brick wall with 8 left, thought of another one, and then accidentally hit refresh, and now I've got 9 left.

How'd you forget Maryland! That's where a bunch of us cool Massassians are!

I forgot 5 of them: Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska, though I had Arizona's location in my head.

I missed 5: Connecticut, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Jersey, Wyoming

Not bad I thought considering I haven't been to the US since 1989

I got all fifty in about five minutes. It was required for me to pass the 8th grade to know all states and capitals.

I missed 16. Pretty ok for an European who's never been taught anything about America :911: in school.

I had to cheat with a map, with only the abbreviations on them. Even after that I was still missing about ten.

I always forget the ones out in the west, the deep south and the tiny ones on the east coast. You know, all the states that don't matter.

Hmm, I did pretty good until I started to forget the ones that should be obvious (Colorado... come on, FGR, South Park!).

Oh well, 1:43 left and 4 states remain.

Oh snap, forgot Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland and Nebraska

I got stuck with 6 left. My wife was going, "Do you want me to sing you the song?" and I was "NO, NO, NO!"

Oh well. If you live in Arizona, Illinois, Kentucky, Montana, New Jersey, or Wyoming , you don't exist in my world.

I got that one. "Hi.... I'm in Delaware..."

I only got 41, but not bad considering I've never been to the US.

Alaska, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Michigan, Oklahoma, Wyoming
nope.
2007-03-03, 6:56 AM #21
I missed 9, and I dont even live in your stinkin' country.

Missed Arkansas, Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Vermont . Of course I spent a good 4 minutes trying to figure out how to spell Massachusetts and Mississippi ...

I'm slooooow.

Took me 6:56 to name all 50. I kept getting stuck on those Southern States. Apparently we all have trouble with Nebraska :P

I got down to Massachusetts and Illinois with four minutes left, then couldn't figure out how to spell them and went and looked them up.

Also, I could fill the names in on a map. Geography is easy.

Got all 50 in 3 minutes. Weird...
I had a blog. It sucked.
2007-03-03, 1:50 PM #32
Got them all with 4:26 remaining... no cheats

Delaware was the last one that took up a lot of the time.

Got all 50 in 5:23 minutes. I got caught up on the spelling of Connecticut and then I couldn't remember West Virginia existed for a while.

The Animaniacs taught me all I know.

(I caved and looked up the spelling of Connecticut. I can barely say it, much less spell it.)

No, he said he did pretty good, considering he is a Brit, which would mean "had this been about Britain, I'd have aced it."

My first comment was in jest anyhow and you took it too seriously, so whatever.
