	Good Quiz, I like it, I would cut the time by about 5 minutes though. I struggled through a couple of them and still had 5 mins to spare. One correction, New York only has 7 letters, not 8.

	I'd cut the time in half

	new york has 8 if you include the space which he did for every other state with a space

	Great idea for a quiz. Agreed, way too much time. I finished with 5:15 left. The first letter as a clue made it way too easy. Taking that away may add to the challenge. Plus, counting the space as a letter was a little confusing. Would be a great quiz with some minor changes. Thanks!

	This is "way too easy" only for Americans. As a non-American who knows pretty well the states from too much Sporcle, but has never memorized them explicitly, the time limit worked just right for me.

	And for some of clumsy typists, the time is perfect.

	The black-on-dark-blue color scheme of the third column is extremely hard to read. You should either make the background lighter or change the foreground color to white.

	hey thanks very much!
