	This was a cool little one. I appreciate the very short time limit- two minutes would've made it too easy. I also like the bonus answers for non-voting delegates.

	Terrific quiz! Not one I would have expected.

	kingmouse:	May 4th, 2009 at 05:06 GMT	6 points
	apparently missed the easy one. There are seven states that are correct answers: DC is a bonus.

	@Dummo. I disagree entirely. These are the states even informed people hear VERY little about, so there's really no guessing at all if you read any sort of news.

	Interesting I got the bottom three but not the top four. I was pretty sure the Dakotas would be on here but I figured it was 4 words typing instead of 1 so I might as well guess other ones.

	loved this quiz. i found 5 bonus answers; how many did others find?

	@Kevin- DC does have a representative, but she does not vote.

	brock:	May 4th, 2009 at 05:58 GMT	8 points
	my only beef is that the bonuses aren't states, so whats the point? Good quiz, but poor bonuses.

	Jesus Christ, not every quiz is going to be relevant to every person. Sporcle isn't some UN-commissioned entity with a mandate to provide 100% culturally-neutral quizzes. Just don't take the quizzes you don't know anything about and move on.

	I'm outside the US and I still enjoyed the quiz. I just treated it as "name the least populated US states" and I got 7/8. I only missed Vermont -- probably because it's been in the news a fair bit so I assumed it's bigger than it is.

	HollywoodLeo:	May 4th, 2009 at 06:47 GMT	27 points
	@Dummo, the US population is over 304 million. I believe that is enough to warrant making a quiz about something they might/should know.

	HollywoodLeo:	May 4th, 2009 at 06:48 GMT	54 points
	@swellwrench, thank you. I couldn't have said it better myself. I don't know jack **** about the Premier League, but I don't go into those quizzes bitching and whining because they don't appeal to me. I just skip them and move on to the quizzes that do.

	HollywoodLeo:	May 4th, 2009 at 06:49 GMT	20 points
	@mbossa, considering the fact that the number of representatives is based on population, that was an excellent approach.

	HollywoodLeo:	May 4th, 2009 at 06:50 GMT	17 points
	@brock, that's why they are bonuses and not answers. All of the bonuses have 1 rep.

	CarmineClash:	May 4th, 2009 at 07:31 GMT	1 point
	Oy, missed Delaware. Great quiz though.

	HebrewHitman:	May 4th, 2009 at 07:32 GMT	-4 points
	Great quiz. I got all 7 states and 6 bonuses.

	@Hollywoodleo and @swellwrecnh. Absolutely agree. I'm from the UK, and sure I didn't KNOW the states, but I was able to get 5 by going with states which I knew must have smallish populations. There are plenty of quizzes for all on here.

	Steesh:	May 4th, 2009 at 10:49 GMT	19 points
	@ Dummo - It would be crazy if all quizes had to cater for everyone. Look at English counties, Swedish monarchs etc. I'm British and i like'd this one - 5/7, didn't look at the time limit d'oh! Nice one though.

	Sausage:	May 4th, 2009 at 11:01 GMT	17 points
	I'm from the UK and I enjoyed it - I hope our US cousins similarly had a go at the English and Welsh Countied. I only got three though, sorry guys!

	chambers:	May 4th, 2009 at 11:40 GMT	-2 points
	dont really understand. got three though! :)

	Tapestry:	May 4th, 2009 at 12:13 GMT	0 points
	Well darn the 3 I missed I should have known, well 2, cause I was going to type one of them when I ran out of time, yikes I can't type that fast!

	Bojan:	May 4th, 2009 at 12:34 GMT	11 points
	Three. Not bad since I am from Croatia :)

	Dummo: "I'm not being disrespectful, but it's very frustrating with quizzes like this which are aimed at a severe minority." Um, what? Visitors to Sporcle.com are 71-75% American, according to Quantcast and Alexa, respectively. If any quizzes should be removed for being aimed at "a severe minority", it should be the "States of Austria" and "Monarchs of Sweden" quizzes and the like. (Not that I think they should).

	@Dummo: I'm Canadian, and guessing by population I was able to get all seven

	squirrelito:	May 4th, 2009 at 13:33 GMT	16 points
	Australo-Englishman here and i got what this was about. Just had to remember the big empty states and the little itty bitty ones

	MissInformed:	May 4th, 2009 at 13:40 GMT	18 points
	Another UK user here who treated it as "name the least populated US states" and thus had no problem with it...except to say another minute, or even 30 seconds, would have been good without making it too easy. :-)

	ZeZapatiste:	May 4th, 2009 at 13:59 GMT	8 points
	Pretty hard for a foreigner. The short time-limit is cool. I only got 4, but I would have guessed all of them if I had 1 or 2 minutes more.

	Asdfaeou:	May 4th, 2009 at 14:01 GMT	2 points
	Whew, I had like ten seconds and two missing, and threw the Dakota one there with two seconds to spare! Thank you high school typing class! Seven years later and it still comes in handy.

	Jon:	May 4th, 2009 at 14:24 GMT	18 points
	the incessant whining about the narrow nature of a quiz is tiresome. sadly, it feels like a troll is in our midst, but it appears most complainers actually believe it! presumably, this site was created by americans, so that is always where the bias will lie - get over it. you get plenty of "footballer" quizzes that few americans have the ability to answer, and trust me, that is just done to head off all the complaining that the quizzes are too usa-centric. I don't do the quizzes that don't interest me - please do the same. maybe come back in a few months when enough monarch quizzes have been stockpiled!

	Chiaprofessor:	May 4th, 2009 at 15:33 GMT	20 points
	Thank you Jon and all the Brits who acknowledge that it's not a cardinal sin to have quizzes like this one. Sure, it's hard for non-Americans. And a similar quiz about other countries would be difficult for Americans. We don't get much information about the inner workings of other countries. I doubt many Americans could name all the states of Mexico. And, since I know nothing about Premier League teams, I don't play those games. Maybe I'd have more of an interest in them, but we don't get those games here. So, how would I develop an interest or knowledge base?

	Greg:	May 4th, 2009 at 17:24 GMT	3 points
	guam, puerto rico, and DC are bonuses

	Jack:	May 4th, 2009 at 17:34 GMT	9 points
	@ Dummo, good comment! I doubt much else could have spurred 30+ people to respond to a 'state representatives' quiz. Next time say something more inflammatory!

	I stand up and applaud HollywoodLeo for his nobility on the matter. Way to be

	Hetch:	May 4th, 2009 at 18:44 GMT	12 points
	they should have one for states with only one senator, Answer Minnesota! Thanks for nothing Norm Coleman, and remeber you finished 3rd in a governers race to Hubert Humphrey and Jesse Ventura!
