As a Brit I got 40 and I'm ashamed of the ones I missed ... took the alphabetical approach otherwise you'd get into a total muddle !

What got me was spelling, never knew there were so many double letters in Tennessee, and of course Massachusetts and Connecticut messed me up too !

English counties next ?

I can name all 50 states in about 30 seconds - but I doubt if I could spell them.   :-\

(Thank you, Mrs. Gatewood, for making us learn that stupid Fifty Nifty United States song in sixth grade.)

Only got 32, but I could name all 10 Canadian provinces and three territories. Probably a fair few English counties as well.

I got 49 in five minutes and spent five minutes trying unsuccesfully to spell MA correct. My result was then 49/50.

After 5 minutes I gave up.
I spent most of the time trying to remember how to spell MASSACHUSETTS.  :laugh:


I missed 3, ALABAMA, DELAWARE, MARYLAND.

ZOMG I got 19!
I'd totally get more if the U.S.A was a more important country that people actually talked about - like Australia.

Agreed!
Now let's yell at each other, posture, shove each other several times, start swinging fists, get pulled apart by friends, then have a beer together and be best friends forever.
Oh, and tell jokes about tits <--very important.

But we first have to establish a very fundamental fact.

All fifty in under 4 minutes. I just go on a little road trip in my head. I even stopped by D.C. on the way.  :angel:
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

It's a really corny song that includes a list of all 50 states - in alphabetical order, no less.  Thus, all 50 states, in alphabetical order, are now permanently imprinted in my brain.  It's been useful for trivia games, but not a whole lot else.  :D
