Pretty fun, but this is basically just the states with the most people. Colleges per capita might be a more interesting statistic.

Nope, excellent amount of time, because if you get to think about it too much, it's easy. But with this short sprint, you get some oopses. And Chris, I missed mine too... Tar Heel shame :(

I think two minutes might be a better time. With a minute, you don't have much time to think about your responses. I'm one of those who actually thinks about possible answers, rather than just type random states.

I'd need two minutes. It takes me one minute to type Massachusetts.

This is the right amount of time. With two minutes, you can guess all 50 states.

I had a lot of fun guessing these. I hope it gets chosen for the front page.

With this color scheme, guessing Maryland seemed mandatory to me, regardless of how wrong I knew it was...

^really?? minnesota was the 4th answer i typed (after CA, TX and PA). but maybe because i lived there for a long time so i knew that it's known for its emphasis on education.

I think zlb33's points and sleepyhead's points both contribute to Minnesota's relatively high placement on this list compared to population- there are a lot of small colleges in the state that people from other parts of the country most likely haven't heard of.
