	i think the next logical quiz is to see country-by-country domain suffixes!

	deej:	Dec 31st, 2008 at 17:46 GMT	28 points
	by which i mean, sweden websites are www.sweden.se, germany is www.germany.de, etc.

	50/50 and I'm a Brit :) 7 seconds to go as well :)

	weizenugb:	Dec 31st, 2008 at 18:15 GMT	25 points
	I think this quiz would be more fun for the non-Americans! It might be a little too easy for us on this side of the pond.

	jessek:	Dec 31st, 2008 at 18:26 GMT	12 points
	pretty damn easy, even for non-americans, you can guess most of them if you figure out the system.

	I don't even know how to type and I got all 50 in about 65 seconds. I think the time limit is on the ok side of a little long, but when I saw the word "rapid" in the description of the quiz, I'll admit I psyched myself out a little.

	Got all 50 with 3 seconds left - not bad for a Brit. Only realised it was timed with 6 states and 18 seconds to go! Don't quizzes like this normally have a skip button, incidentally?

	50/50 with 9 seconds left from a Dutch guy (how do Americans nickname us?)

	drza:	Jan 1st, 2009 at 14:28 GMT	3 points
	I tried it again and the only one I typed in wrong again is Louisiana,talk about a mental block...I still only got it with 17 seconds left,this is an easy quiz if you can type quick,hard to finish if you cant!

	That was fun!

	Lindsay:	Jan 1st, 2009 at 21:07 GMT	17 points
	The thing I don't like about the short time limit (and no skip button) is that it skews the statistics - the states that start with S, T, U, V, W etc. have the lowest % correct, most likely because people didn't have time to finish the quiz. I'd be interested to know which states people actually didn't know vs. ones that they didn't have time to answer.

	Oh wow, look at the Games by Difficulty list. This is at 100% right. First time I've ever seen that. And reasonably so too, seeing as I guessed at the abbreviations for over half of these, and had 16 secs remaining.

	susie:	Jan 1st, 2009 at 23:08 GMT	6 points
	Easy but time really a problem if you plan to skip one and return to it later, Time's up!

	HollywoodLeo:	Jan 2nd, 2009 at 00:34 GMT	8 points
	People need to stop complaining about the time. The need to be fast is what makes an otherwise easy quiz like this a bit more challenging. Even so, I got it in about 60 seconds.

	davidr:	Jan 2nd, 2009 at 00:44 GMT	2 points
	@Zero: That's a bug. If you look at the results page for this quiz, you can see that only about 56% of people scored 50/50. Since the other 44% scored less than 100%, the average score must be less than 100%. In fact, approximating from the histogram, the average score is about 44/50, or 88%.

	JoeGrzzly:	Jan 2nd, 2009 at 01:54 GMT	6 points
	The time is just right on this, i can't type fast at all, but i got them all, and with time to get stuck and trip a few times.

	DynamiteDG:	Jan 2nd, 2009 at 05:36 GMT	5 points
	I liked it. Good idea for a quiz

	davidr:	Jan 2nd, 2009 at 12:43 GMT	3 points
	The position in the easiest games list has been fixed: currently the 11th-easiest game on Sporcle, with an average score of 87.something%.
