	Lower the time limit! By a lot

	Spelling out "five", "six", etc, is distracting, just use 5, 6, etc. Also it might be nice to group them that way, rather than randomly. Alphabetically would be too easy.

	I think 3 minutes is a fair amount of time for us outside the US. Nice quiz.

	Too much time -- you can type all the states within the time limit with time to spare. Agreed that grouping by number would be preferable.

	Cool concept. I agree that arabic numerals would be better for the numbers.

	I like the quiz as it is, time-wise. However, putting the numeral instead of the spelled-out number would help.

	poor alaska and hawaii... :(

	Way to easy...especially since you list the states that border with each correct entry. That gives you more states to just throw in to guess.

	Less time would be good. 3 minutes is enough to easily guess every state, especially for Americans.

	Minnesota should be included. It has 5: ND, SD, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The Michigan border is in Lake Superior, but they technically do share a border.

	good idea, butt some adjustments, #1- just use 5,6,7,or 8 instead of five, six, seven, or eight. #2- put them in number order. like 5,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,7,7,8 instead of 8,5,7,6,5,8,6,5,6,6,8,5. #3- add final touches such as a source and some color. black and white suks. I3UT GRE/-T I I) EA.

	Michigan and Minnesota are missing. Both border five states. Michigan borders Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Minnesota borders North Dakota, South Dakota, iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Also, Illinois borders six states, not five. Illinois borders Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
