	They should make it more difficult by forcing you to name them in order, just my opinion.

	nba4life1009:	Dec 9th, 2008 at 21:54 GMT	13 points
	there is no way that someone could possibly type all 5 names of those lakes in 1 second total, im not believeing it

	we learned in school to think: HOMES thats still how i remember it to this day

	@nearly: Wouldn't make it that much harder. Worst case, you'd still only have to type fifteen words, even if your last guess was correct each time. Still trivially doable in a minute.

	Rob: Most likely, somebody wrote a script to fill in the names.

	Can we get a bonus answer for Lake St. Clair? Anywhere else in the country, it would be a Really Big Lake! In any case, I want to thank you for going to the trouble to do a map for this quiz. The geography quizzes are so much better with maps--teaches you more about where things are and how they relate to each other, as opposed to just rattling off a list of names.

	@ckbryant: laugh I used the feedback form to suggest that Lake St Clair be added as a bonus, maybe two days before you suggested it here. :-) Great minds and all that. ;-)

	If there was going to be a bonus answer it would have to be Lake Champlain which was a Great Lake briefly from March 6, 1998 to March 24, 1998.

	I used the H.O.M.E.S. Huron Ontario Michigan Erie Superior. Great quiz

	How can you tell someone did it in a second?

	davidr:	Feb 22nd, 2009 at 05:01 GMT	3 points
	@Nuclear K.: Until fairly recently, the results page used to include the fastest time. It doesn't any more, presumably because people were just writing scripts to fill in the answers in a couple of seconds.

	easy peasy! H.O.M.E.S.!

	@The Abriter: The Great Bear lake is in Canada. In the Northwest Territories.

	cocky:	May 25th, 2009 at 17:48 GMT	3 points
	This has to be the easiest quiz on here. You only need five and most people know the acronym HOMES, although I'm not familiar with the onion eating Harry one.

	Beks:	May 26th, 2009 at 21:11 GMT	2 points
	cocky: onion eating harry? ha ha, I think its harry eating onions. But the former is way funnier! Katie: too easy even if you aren't from that area. Pretty much easy if you attended elementary school.

	Octoman:	May 27th, 2009 at 05:49 GMT	3 points
	@GeoExpert I just know them too. But I still learned them using the HOMES method.

	czechman:	May 31st, 2009 at 07:28 GMT	1 point
	easiest quiz ever. I never use HOMES, mainly because I was never taught it.

	7 seconds. How about a time lower? 30 seconds?

	rockgolf:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 21:39 GMT	2 points
	How about Lake St Clair (not a Great Lake, but shown on the map between Huron & Erie) as a bonus??

	AtlasSighed:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 02:08 GMT	2 points
	I still stand by that they should have named one "Lake Inferior".

	nw217:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 02:51 GMT	0 points
	HOMES Huron Ontario Michigan Erie Superior They should make us do the dirtiest on (erie) just for kicks

	@nearlyextinct. theres an order?

	Tavix:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 01:34 GMT	-3 points
	Michigan-Huron is hydrologically one lake. Therefore, if you have 5 of them, St. Clair needs to be on here.

	flixuk:	Dec 27th, 2009 at 17:21 GMT	4 points
	why are borders drawn on the map for the US States, but not for Canadian provinces?

	Stephano:	Jan 16th, 2010 at 02:01 GMT	1 point
	I've seen four of five (except Superior)..and I got five in this one! And yes, Saint Clair should be on here!
