	Not enough time ma

	Actually, I thought it was the perfect amount of time, personally. Great quiz, too. It helped having the first letters provided, or else it would have taken FOREVER to figure this one out. Fun!

	starjumper:	Jul 2nd, 2011 at 06:18 GMT	31 points
	Maybe up the time a minute or two and/or accept the three M's that have 8 letters in any order. I wasted some time figuring out you wanted them in alphabetic order.

	I think it is fine at the length it is myself. Fun quiz, thanks for making it.

	It's amazing how totally orthogonal this is to how my brain works. If I think of a map, I can do 50 states in less that 60 seconds. This? I missed 8 of them in three minutes. Weird.

	Alaska question: did anyone experience a little bit of Missouri during this quiz? 'Cause I never Arkansas it coming! Joking aside, I thought this was a challenging puzzle. You certainly a good puzzler, my Maine man!

	I thought there was too much time, until I forgot Minnesota and Wisconsin. Ended with 3 seconds left.

	Davidos:	Jul 2nd, 2011 at 14:18 GMT	8 points
	i think its tough to try to count all the letters in some of these. I never really thought of how long (9) Wisconsin was before. All the M's make it a challenge.

	shadowdude64:	Jul 2nd, 2011 at 15:34 GMT	3 points
	Great quiz! I ended up trying to think of the longest named states and added them in.

	Saxonthebeach:	Jul 2nd, 2011 at 17:16 GMT	10 points
	Oops, totally missed the "alphabetical order" instructions. I counted the number of letters in "Missouri" like 10 times to make sure I was right.

	Figment:	Jul 2nd, 2011 at 17:33 GMT	10 points
	I think just one minute more would do the trick. I enjoyed the quiz very much though.

	I'd agree that it shouldn't matter about the order, but I liked the time. It's nice to have quizzes where the goal is something few people will get. Look at the score chart. Nice bell curve = Timed perfectly.

	Good time.

	emachine:	Jul 2nd, 2011 at 20:17 GMT	5 points
	Pretty tough if you ask me.

	CeeDeeTee:	Jul 2nd, 2011 at 20:34 GMT	8 points
	Cool quiz but time was quite tight on me

	@Trever: I believe that when a vowel is repeated in (most?) Polynesian languages, they are separated by an apostrophe that represents a glottal stop.

	catcherj:	Jul 3rd, 2011 at 00:31 GMT	3 points
	Stupid Ms! Missed Missouri, Minnesota, and Mississippi. Great quiz though.
