	If you're going to allow abbreviations on the 1st line, allow them on every one!

	I was dismayed to get through one line by using abbreviations, only to find myself typing them out for the rest of the quiz. Based on the pre-publishng comments, it sounds like this is an issue on part of the SporcleAdmin.

	^ Agreed. I doubted my knowledge of state abbreviations when MA wasn't accepted for Massachusetts.

	Whew! At least I recognized my home state.

	When I gave this quiz a Curator Pick a few months ago, I asked gwukelic to please accept postal abbreviations, and he immediately made the change. If I had to guess, the abbreviation issue came into play when this quiz was prepped for publish. Please do not take out your frustrations on the ratings. This is one of my favorite quizzes, and I do believe the problem is not the quiz maker's fault.

	I actually had assumed the quizmaker didn't know the correct abbreviations for half of the states

	I noticed "Io" was accepted as an abbreviation for Iowa, when it should be IA.

	the abbreviation thing is SUPER annoying.

	Dam. Just. Dam. This. Was. Hella. Tough. Very. Frustrating. Fun.

	It doesn't accept VA for Virginia, but it does take WV.

	@Twigs: yes, the US states are divided into counties. If you know from which country they were colonies, you'll realize why. Probably if they had been French colonies, they would have been divided into arrondissements, but no, they weren't.

	Great quiz.

	Too US-centric :-)

	Deceptively difficult. Excellent quiz!

	Not piling on but the postal abbreviations worked EXCEPT for Delaware and Kentucky for my attempt. Otherwise, great idea.

	salberty:	Jun 3rd, 2013 at 01:51 GMT		2 points
	Postal abbreviation corrections that I found: Arkansas is AR, not AK. Kentucky is KY, not KT. Delaware is DE, (currently doesn't accept any abbreviation beginning with "d").

	I loved this quiz. 5 Globes & my newest favorite.

	Pogues:	Jun 3rd, 2013 at 02:51 GMT		1 point
	I mistyped the Kentucky postal code, missing the y and hitting the T...I was momentarily stunned when that worked. The only issue I have with the quiz is the Alabama map was a little...light/unclear? Well it was just really hard to see any definitive lines. 5 Globes for this gem.

	Somehow I got the last one (happened to be the least guessed) in the last second, only because I realized I hadn't already guessed it. Proudest moment of my life.

	A lot of epiphanies when time ran out. I might have fared better if water was a different color from land. Still, I might not have. Frankly, I'm not feeling that bright right now.

	I guess I'll be the nerd who points out that there's no such thing as a "county map" of Louisiana. Louisiana doesn't have counties; it has parishes.
