	Way to long. Most people can name all the states in a couple minutes so I would reduce the time to 3 minutes at most.

	bsd987:	Oct 4th, 2010 at 05:45 GMT	45 points
	This quiz doesn't work. In essence, this is name every US state minus a couple. Each of these work as individual quizzes at one minute each, but together it doesn't work. Good effort.

	tk_go_giants:	Oct 4th, 2010 at 07:16 GMT	20 points
	maybe if you made us guess in order or one category at a time it would work, but all i had to do was type in every state name without looking at the clues and i finished with plenty of time to spare

	Too the people just typing in random state names, you could try playing it by actually thinking about the categories and seeing how far you can get without missing an answer, or just thinking about them in general and playing the game straight up instead of just typing them in randomly, you are the one robbing yourself of the fun. interesting quiz :)

	gowhere:	Oct 4th, 2010 at 12:37 GMT	5 points
	You have used Aneki as a source. This source just generates lists, often without much definition as to what the list actually means, and without any reference to how the data was collected. I would suggest using a more reliable source - although in this specific case, most of your categories are pretty basic, and therefore beyond dispute.

	BamaGuy:	Oct 4th, 2010 at 14:57 GMT	13 points
	@chinawhite, one problem with that is that many of the states are answers in multiple categories so you only have to guess it once, by the time you get to the last category you'll already have most of the answers

	This is why I tend to not create quizzes with states as answers. Good concept however.

	imclala:	Oct 4th, 2010 at 19:38 GMT	7 points
	For me, the fun of this quiz was seeing which states popped up on which list. I enjoyed it.

	magister:	Oct 4th, 2010 at 21:14 GMT	5 points
	Going with imclala: I had as much fun finding the states that did not pop up. Poor Indiana.

	Geo_Crazy:	Oct 4th, 2010 at 21:18 GMT	4 points
	Poor Mississippi. It only has one of the highest unemployment rates.

	eg74:	Oct 4th, 2010 at 21:24 GMT	1 point
	way to much time i agree with a lot of other people on this probably just guess every answer

	foobar:	Oct 4th, 2010 at 21:46 GMT	10 points
	Alternatively, name the 11 states not in this quiz.

	RCray7:	Oct 4th, 2010 at 23:11 GMT	10 points
	if only there was an option "force user to guess in groups"

	thegun:	Oct 5th, 2010 at 00:28 GMT	-1 points
	yeah it would be great, unfortunately theres already this quiz out called "US states" ... kinda stole a little of your thunder i think...

	ikspuls:	Oct 5th, 2010 at 01:12 GMT	3 points
	good concept if only there were a way to guess for the certain category

	alleycat9:	Oct 5th, 2010 at 02:30 GMT	3 points
	it would be cool if it only filled in one section at a time. i had half of the rest after guessing the largest states. i dont know but imagine it would have to be separate quizzes to do that.

	JakeA:	Oct 5th, 2010 at 03:41 GMT	4 points
	The answers, with the small black type against the dark red background, were the hardest to see of all the 100s of sporcle quizzes I've taken.

	redmoose:	Oct 6th, 2010 at 02:05 GMT	3 points
	One of the biggest reasons I love Sporcle quizzes is because I learn things and I learned a few interesting things from this quiz. So...good quiz!

	Corms:	Oct 6th, 2010 at 02:22 GMT	2 points
	A lot of very interesting information here.

	GeoExpert:	Oct 6th, 2010 at 03:15 GMT	7 points
	[WARNING: Suggestion] This quiz would work if the Sporcle Game Creation tool had a Group Hints/Force Order hybrid. As in, you select the category and then guess your states. Could call it "Force Order by Group" or something like that.

	giveupyet:	Oct 6th, 2010 at 20:58 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz and categories. Definitely would recommend separating by category. I got them all just by typing in the names of all 50 states. Good concept, though!

	Wing:	Oct 7th, 2010 at 15:13 GMT	3 points
	You could increase the time limit and force us to answer in order. That would by much harder, but it would be quite interesting.

	thefailure:	Oct 8th, 2010 at 06:26 GMT	2 points
	Since you used Wikipedia as your source for population, it should be North Carolina at 10 for Most Populated States, instead of New Jersey.

	I (somehow) completely and utterly blocked Utah out of my mind while taking this quiz.

	TJL:	Oct 12th, 2010 at 03:27 GMT	1 point
	Given that the least guessed has a guessed rate of 83.6% and 45.3% have gotten everything, I think there are grounds to make this in order. It just simply doesn't work as a quiz.

	cantthinkofaname:	Dec 12th, 2010 at 22:02 GMT	1 point
	take about 5-6 minutes off the time.
