	Cultural sensitivity fail. Credit for acknowledging that there's more than one alphabet but this is not the `U.S. alphabet': it's the Latin or Roman alphabet.

	Too bad you cannot do 30 seconds.

	good practice for when your drunk and the officer ask you to recite the alphabet backwards, not that I've ever had the experience

	@IWANTMY2DOLLARS The po-po doesn't ask you to do the alphabet backwards to see you actually do it. They ask you it to gauge your cognitive response to the question. My friend, a cop, has actually had someone say to him "What? I couldn't even do that if I was sober!" Case closed.

	WooHoo! I love the easy ones, I'm such a dingbat

	plenty of time, maybe there should be a 30 second limit

	Haha, damn, I wasn't fast enough to get the last 3. I feel very out of place now.

	Too much time! I was done in less than 20 seconds.

	Because I was paranoid about being caught drunk, in college I sat around in my dorm room practicing the alphabet backwards, in case I ever had to know it for a field sobriety test.

	Tommy_C:	Oct 13th, 2009 at 17:29 GMT	50 points
	Too Roman-centric

	mjenks:	Oct 13th, 2009 at 17:30 GMT	7 points
	Wait...this isn't the Roman alphabet. The Romans didn't have J, U and V were the same letter, and W didn't come around until the middle ages. Also, X, Y and Z were only sort of there for the Romans. And K wasn't used very often (everything with a k sound was transcribed over to be a C).

	6 seconds. I knew memorizing it backwards and at high speeds would be useful one day. And now my life is complete. And very sad.

	@davidr: This is actually the "modern basic Latin alphabet".
