Amazing what gambling does. Nevada is the least populous state in the union until Vegas starts booming.

I hate to say you need to take a minute off of it, but the least-guessed answer has 80%+...

@Hines - well, admitting Alaska to the union helped Nevada escape the cellar - note it's placement in 1960. That said, Nevada was a state for nearly a full century before it really should have been - mainly as a snub to Utah's dreams of a Greater Deseret, if I recall correctly.

Looks like every fifty years or so, a bunch of people move to South Dakota for a few years and then leave.

The high get rate isn't surprising, as there are only 16 unique answers.

Can you up the time slightly? 2 minutes is pretty low if you're trying to think about it and not just type all 50 states.

I know there are those who can type all 50 states in a couple of minutes, but a little more time would allow the rest of us a little more thought.
