	Why is Sacramento the most typed-in by nearly ten points?

	Quinteh:	May 28th, 2010 at 00:32 GMT		6 points
	@mantunes339: Probably just because it's in California. Anyway, I only managed to get 19. I'm not good at 60-second blitzes. :

	The problem I always have with the 60 second quizzes is I always think of three or four answers at once and then freeze. Or I type and the spelling is all wrong.

	Oooh, I can be first with the ridiculousness: "Too US-centric!"

	themegarooster:	May 28th, 2010 at 02:37 GMT		11 points
	man, i'm afraid that I will probably end up spending hours on this quiz trying to get a perfect score...

	@mantunes339: Because most people will start on the left and work their way east when naming states or capitals. This was unfortunate for me because I spent too many seconds mistyping and misspelling Sacramento (rolls eyes). I got half. And yeah, I'll probably try again. :)

	My strategy was to go in this order: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNUDDaEOvuY

@BonnieH: That doesn't explain why Honolulu and Juneau are so low. :p I got 27 and a half: "Augu..." *OVER*

	As an addendum to Bonnie H, I think people start at the left, then realise they don't know any others round there, and head elsewhere... I did do Charleston and Cheyenne tho despite only getting 18 so seem like it'll be different for all

	Does anyone claim to have done this? You have just over a second for each and typing alone would seem to chew up your time. Unless you're just copying it from paper right next to you I can't see how anyone could possibly do this. I'd like to see proof that this is even possible.

	i wonder how many people are gonna facepalm themselves for missing their home state's capital.....me being one of them :(

	holey101:	May 28th, 2010 at 20:36 GMT		6 points
	I agree with webbed_feet you have 1.2 seconds to type each word if i'm right thats pretty much impossible how can you type sacramento,oklahoma city, indianapolis, madison,carson city in 6 seconds

	Took a few tries but it is doable if you know all of them and start in the right spot. I start in Maine and work my way down and across.

	My second entry was Cheyenne :P funny that its last.

	jazzyfish:	May 30th, 2010 at 00:50 GMT		1 point
	Cool quiz, but if you spell one wrong or make a typo, no way will you make it in 60 secs.

	@kwoj: look it up.

	More time please - I'd like a fighting chance...

	Columbia is the capital of South Carolina -- not Charleston.

	otis89:	Jun 1st, 2010 at 22:51 GMT		3 points
	But Charleston is the capital of West Virginia. ;)

	Phillyfan17:	Jun 1st, 2010 at 22:58 GMT		-2 points
	no way man

	drhaase:	Jun 2nd, 2010 at 05:20 GMT		-1 points
	there is no way anyone got a perfect score...this is just a who can type the fastest competition

	How is tallahassee so high on the list of made answers? It's frickin impossible to type quickly.

	Such a stressful minute, these quizzes always are! I start out the quiz with a mental image of the map, promising to go in some semblance of order. Next thing you know I am on the other side of the country, jumping back and forth in a panic. Oh Sporcle...

	I'm impressed. I'm impressed that 20.2% of you actually cheat on this quiz...probably just for personal glory or something.

	cbr4:	Aug 22nd, 2010 at 04:17 GMT		1 point
	Yeah, really, WTF 0.3&% got 45 but 19% got 50? @BonnieH, I'm on east coast and started naming capitals from east to west. All a matter of individual perspective. Would like to see 2:00 limit. It would be a knowledge test. At 1:00, it's just a typing speed test.

	lood1234:	Sep 1st, 2010 at 15:59 GMT		1 point
	why tallahassee? why is it 4th most guessed??

	Speed4TheNeed:	Sep 25th, 2010 at 17:07 GMT		1 point
	I got up to 46..left the 4 most complicated out. I MIGHT be able to squeeze 47 but that's honestly about it. I don't think I'm going to increase my typing speed much more than it already is (clumsy fingers). It really is just a typing challenge though, I guess some memorization involved but there's no way I can think of all those capitals so fast. I wound up pulling up a list of capitals to look at while I typed.

	I only got 11. I missed the most guess one: Sacramento! How did I miss Austin, Texas?! That's my freaking name for crying out loud!

	themegarooster:	Nov 8th, 2010 at 18:06 GMT		-1 points
	I just got all 50 in 49 seconds! Although that's more a result of my addiction to playing this quiz over and over again...

	jet993:	Jan 12th, 2011 at 13:37 GMT		0 points
	this is just flat out impossible i only got 13

	kayaker:	Feb 2nd, 2011 at 19:01 GMT		1 point
	It amazes me that 13.3% were able to type the entire 50 capitals in less than a minute. There are some extremely quick thinkers as well as excellent typists on here~~I am neither.

	kayaker:	Feb 3rd, 2011 at 01:47 GMT		2 points
	No way in hell 13.3% get this PERFECT. Not even 1 in a 100 can get it even looking at a printed list. Now I'm wondering about all of Sporcle's "stats"

	Turbochrissie:	Mar 21st, 2011 at 12:14 GMT		0 points
	The trick is to type the capitals with the least letters in order to obtain a high score. I managed to get to 34

	fast typing hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i could think about it

	How on Earth has Concord been guessed more than Nashville?
