	great game! I could've used a little more time, but maybe I just need to skip over and come back and not spend too much time thinking.

	strags11:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 17:19 GMT		16 points
	Great game. Any time you're ready to secede from the union, Maine, just let me know and I'll get the #$%^& paperwork started for you.

	segacs:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 17:23 GMT		69 points
	I think this needs more time. Even if you recognize every single answer immediately, there's barely enough time to type them in. And I'm a fast typist.

	trishtea:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 17:26 GMT		36 points
	I agree on the time front - I type fairly quickly and by the time I'd gone through them all and done the ones I could identify straight away I only had a minute left to go back to the more difficult ones. Great quiz though! :)

	guyborab:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 17:29 GMT		15 points
	Oh how I wish I were a faster typist

	montecarlo:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 17:37 GMT		34 points
	maybe if i type it in an 11th time, omaha will magically become the capital of nebraska. ... DAMMIT. 12 times?

	mewkam1:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 17:43 GMT		26 points
	I also believe this needs more time. I skipped unknown answers, typed as quickly as possible, and still ran out of time after W YOR. Other than that, great quiz!!

	swaytrain:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 17:47 GMT		13 points
	yeah i think it needs a little more time too... another minute would be nice, cool quiz though

	beckyw:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 17:48 GMT		8 points
	More time. I'm fast typist and knew most of them pretty quickly, and still ran out of time at 74/100.

	Agree with all of the above, could use 1 to 2 mins more. Rather challenging. You can see it right there but just can't think of it. Fun!

	miss_bish:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 18:07 GMT		9 points
	Agreed, could use another minute at least. Great quiz other than that!

	mellybmel:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 18:19 GMT		8 points
	Looked at it, thought, h'mm, kind of easy, and then started. Ran out of time at 76/100; never got to go back to IN, or some of the others. GOOD ONE!

	Statto2:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 18:30 GMT		9 points
	I agree this is a great quiz but it needs a little more time.

	Etheridge2:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 18:33 GMT		1 point
	Not sure if the time is the same as it was when these comments were made, but I think it is perfect I missed 5 of them, but the time really forces you to think fast and skip the ones you don't know immediately...I think the time at present is perfect..I don't want my quizzes to be too easy.

	WCRoentgen:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 18:41 GMT		1 point
	great quiz. I thought the time was fine. When I began, I thought, "This is going to be a piece of cake." Wrong! Surprised how challenging this turned out to be.

	Berubium:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 18:49 GMT		1 point
	Very fun quiz. The time limit makes it tough, but I would suggest to leave it the way it is. That way, I can come back in a few days & see if I can do better than I did this time.

	Tony_A:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 18:50 GMT		2 points
	Wow. I thought I'd ace this. I entered those I knew and then went back and tried to fill the rest. Great game. I like how they didn't make it too easy and put capitals near states. 90 out of 100 ain't bad!

	Starchild:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 18:50 GMT		0 points
	Sounds like the time has been increased or something, I had no trouble getting through the whole list, and I had a minute and a half to go back through. And that was with all the typos I was making. Best advice is, if you don't know it immediately, skip it and come back (but that's true of lots of Sporcle quizzes). Great quiz, it was a lot of fun!

	dlmoser:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 19:03 GMT		2 points
	more of a typing contest than a puzzle

	evelyn3372:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 19:27 GMT		2 points
	I am so glad I tested my 5th grader on his states and capitals just a few weeks ago! Otherwise, I would have bombed!!

	Laraliu:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 19:29 GMT		4 points
	K I love this quiz thankyou so much!!!!! however, u definitley need more time. at least two minutes.

	Volante:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 19:53 GMT		-3 points
	Spent the last minute working out maINe and kaNSAs (barely got them, clock said 23 seconds, but felt like nailbiters). Silly me trying to run through capitals at that point, of course. Dur.

	JazzyJewels:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 19:53 GMT		2 points
	Hm. Interesting quiz. Definitely different. 95/100... As it was I was rushing like crazy. o_o Yeah, at least one more minute.

	great quiz! I could've used more time! :)

	Sudders:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 20:09 GMT		8 points
	More time needed...

	Cockroach:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 20:28 GMT		1 point
	Less of a quiz, more a typing exercise.

	ruddfan84:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 20:29 GMT		1 point
	i was typing maine as time expired. CURSE YOU MAINE!

	eab21:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 20:43 GMT		3 points
	Really fun, but agree with everyone else about adding another minute.
