	there should be an alphabetical Countries of the World Quiz.

	is anyone else singing when they take this quiz?

	@Leeny Not out loud, but yes! Fourth grade comes rushing back...

	Gear_Zero:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 19:52 GMT	10 points
	I managed to get them all. This was actually quite easy since I learned them alphabetically. Seemed like the sensible way to do it.

	I liked having enough time to guess - the states don't all come to mind straight away for me, so I had fun trying to place the ones I thought of as they came to me!

	"Fifty Nifty United States from the 13 original colonies...."

	Got 'em all thanks to "Fifty Nifty..."

	seems that ohio needs to learn some PR lessons from wyoming. or perhaps change it's name to zohio.

	Fifty Nifty United States with 13 original colonies...

	mennoknight:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 20:12 GMT	6 points
	really hard for me...once you miss one it's difficult to get the next one. Lots of guessing.

	lukejameslarson:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 20:15 GMT	5 points
	...shout 'em, scout 'em, tell all about 'em..!

	The only states I missed are Nevada... and the state I actually LIVE in, Texas! Not smart, not smart.

	I never heard the "Fifty Nifty" song. I learned them from the map. I can do that quiz in about 90 seconds but missed three in this one. This is definitely tougher, which is a good thing.

	Cat Girl:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 20:28 GMT	2 points
	Never knew when I was learning that dratted song over 40 years ago how useful it would be over the years. If only they'd set it to "Start me up" or "A Hard Day's Night." 74 seconds, here. It also helps that I can still type.

	This is the same way I play the regular US states game. :)

	Fifty Nifty helps me again. I still don't know how I remember that song, haha.

	Hugh:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 20:52 GMT	10 points
	There's definitely nothing wrong with the time limit. As a Brit, I found it hard and only just managed half in the time. I suppose this will be a practise makes perfect one...

	If you did this for countries....it would be the toughest quiz ever, you would have to segment it into boxes like they do for the letter quizzes

	Ireland:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 21:15 GMT	7 points
	I got 25, quite good for someone not American. Never heard of Fifty Nifty.

	Kitimat88:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 21:16 GMT	6 points
	I'm going to the States for the first time tomorrow and I got everything right. So I should fit in, right? Also, there were a lot more Ns than I thought...

	danzam:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 21:27 GMT	6 points
	I'm surprised so few people got Wyoming in relation to the other states. I would have guessed more people would have tried both alphabetical and reverse-alphabetical order.

	wolverine:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 21:31 GMT	12 points
	Speaking as an American, if you got them all right, then you will not fit in, because we are not that smart

	Not too much time for me - I ran out with Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas unguessed. I tend to think of states more geographically than alphabetically, and I just didn't have time to think of what spots I was missing. I thought this was a fun quiz and concur on countries of the world alpabetically (even though I'm sure it will kick my ass).

	bucknaked:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 22:07 GMT	-1 points
	Man that song did me wonders for this quiz. I found myself singing that song for some reason yesterday. Sporcle usually predicts what type of quiz I want by what I do the day before. It's actually kind of creepy.

	Morbo:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 22:10 GMT	3 points
	@danzam: The people who missed Wyoming must not have done the "Last" quiz from last week.

	tigerschick:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 22:11 GMT	-1 points
	I ran out of time - had the last 3 to go as well as Maryland and Oregon which I missed on the way thru. Pretty pleased tho, as a non-American who has never heard of 'Fifty Nifty'!! Also - agree about a countries one but think you'd need to specify how many of each letter there are!

	ironsij0287:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 22:21 GMT	1 point
	That's funny how many folks recall the "Fifty Nifty" song for this. I honestly thought about making this quiz because of my 3 year-old's bedtime routine I do with her. At some point I got tired of singing the same old songs to her each night so instead I decided to recite the states alphabetically. Now she requests I do it nightly. :)

	@Ireland and @tigerschick: If you're curious.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_HeLofy7IE I think every American kid learned that in grade school. At least they used to....don't know if they do anymore?

	newenglander:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 22:45 GMT	-1 points
	thanks to elementary school music class, all i had to do was go over the 50 states song in my head
