I was thinking about adding Rhode Island as a bonus answer since, although it is not a commonwealth, it's full name (The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations) differs from the norm. Tell me what you think. Thanks.

I think that 4 minutes is enough to name all 50 states twice over. You either know these or your don't.

Puerto Rico should be a bonus; we officially call it a "Commonwealth" to hide any imperialist attitude but mostly because we and the Puerto Ricans don't know what to do with it.

This should be a 1-minute quiz. Otherwise it's just a lot of guessing until you get the right answers. No, I don't think you should include Rhode Island.

Changed timer to 1 minute and added Puerto Rico as a bonus (excellent idea Walter). Along those same lines, the Northern Mariana Islands are also considered a commonwealth and therefore have been added as a bonus as well.
