1. 2m 24s. I definitely could not remember how to spell Massachusetts (two Ts). But luckily in fifth grade, I memorized all fifty states in alphabetical order. That helped.

2. 30 states in the time limit .. but then I am English

3. one minute, fifty-two, baby!

4. 4 minutes 48 seconds with the help of my wife. Had she not helped me, I think I would still be trying to figure out CT (misspelled it about 3 times).

5. 3 min 23 sec baby!

   spelling is the hardest part

6. 6 min, it would help if I could spell!

8. 2m 1s! I guess it helps that I grew up in Connecticut and was familiar with how to spell Massachusetts because we went there quite a bit.

9. 5m 10s

   Couldn’t think of Kansas to save my life

10. got hung on new hampshire-5 minutes 37 seconds…i suck!

11. Those of us who grew up singing the “Fifty-Nifty” song, have an edge obviously.

    My time on my first attempt was 2 min, 36 sec. I probably lost 30-40 seconds due to not having a clue how to spell a few of the states.

12. In 2m 40s

13. 4 minutes and 10 seconds. Massachusetts did me in as well plus my stupid computer did a anti-virus update in the middle and I had to stop and deal with that! Aaargh.

14. 3 minutes, 22 seconds. fun game.

15. 3:38 – Maryland got me!

16. 2:02…man it stinks when someone on here beats you by 1 second!

17. 2:57

18. Yay for the Fifty Nifty song! I will remember all the states for the rest of my life.
    I got 3m 15 s.

19. New Hampshire kicked me right in the butt…for the life of me I couldn’t remember it.

20. In elementary school, we had a song. All 50 states in order. It’s helped me tremendously in pursuits such as this. 2 min and 30 seconds.

21. Geesh, little Delaware always getting left out. It’s a sad, sad day for the First State.

22. 1m 53s.

23. 4:07 – hung up on New Jersey. Go figure.

24. I bet it’d take us longer to get the Canadian provinces, and there aren’t nearly as many of them.

25. 3 m 27 s. If spelling didn’t count, i would have lost a minute. CT and MA are awful

26. 5m -stupid spelling and slow typing

27. 3 minutes 10 second…about a minute on CT

29. 2:58…why are some states so hard to spell?

30. 1:50…but then I’ve always been a maps person.

33. 3m 56s

34. 2m 39s…took me a while to remember how to spell CT…what’s with the silent ‘c’???

35. um maybe i watch too much LOST but your time is a part of the valenzetti sequence. does that blow your mind or what?

36. I got 1:50 if I could type faster I would have gotten a better time. I taught geography and history for a season,plus I like stuff like this. I don’t think the spelling and typing fast as you are timed is fair though.

    Try this test:

    You might be able to sing the jolly states song to get Markos test, but this one you have to find where they go.

37. 124 seconds… you do the math…

38. 3’54”

39. already did awhile ago, so can’t do it now as my “first” time… but i did it in 1min56sec

40. 1:52. Had I have been trying to type faster I think I could have shaved a good 10-15 seconds off, but I wasn’t in the mood. Courtesy of my 5th grade class singing “Fifty-Nifty Unites States.” Do this with the capitols–then I’m screwed.

41. 2:52 on the first try

42. i got hung up on new hampshire and arkansas… have about 45 by 3 minutes, then just couldn’t remember the other few!

43. 2 minutes 9 seconds baby…thanks to the 6th grade learned song FIFTY NIFTY.
    thank you.
