it is now 0155 in the morning, 47. Please note I didn't cheat I really didn't cheat.

I actually have a good memory for remembering maps.

Okay I've now checked a map and I realise I missed two major states and one state that tends to stick out because of the cowboy legend.

Massachusetts, Ohio and Wyoming are the ones I forgot.

Here are my excuses for missing three states and I'm sticking to them.

Massachusetts, probably because it's difficult to spell and I always think of it as Boston.

Ohio, because I wanted to forget Jo the plumber, sorry, i meant Joe, then again he could be a secret TG and reading these pages.

Wyoming, "I'm sorry boy but there's only room enough in this country for EITHER Montana OR WYOMING" (I often get these two states mixed up)

I am ashamed to say I only got 45 in 10 minutes.  the ones i forgot were:
IOWA,......

Don't feel bad, Chaunte.  I hear that Iowa is like Nirvana.....the state of perfect nothingness.

baltimore

So ... what's the capital of Baltimore?

oops!! I should have said Maryland. Make that 46 correctly named.

Thanks.

Hey, still pretty darn good for an Aussie!

I tried to do the same for Australia, but forgot the name of the capital territory, the specific names for the big ones in the West (I called it "Western Terr." instead of "Western Aus." for instance), and totally forgot about Victoria!

So you did better for America than I did for Australia!
