	Like all other US geography quizzes, I sucked at this.

	Two minutes is a bit easy, but that might just be all the sporclage in me (definitely wouldn't have been able to do this a year ago.)

	3...2...1...scores, right at the last second squeezed Santa Fe in.

	I assume it's a bad thing to forget Utah exists...

	All grouped together, from the Mississippi to the Rockies. Multiple word capital names corellates with small capitals in low density states.

	not necessarily, tommy-- okc and stp are big cities in their own right.

	After spending 90 of my 120 seconds trying to spell Montpelier, and missing 3 because of it, I looked it up and discovered that whoever founded the city forgot to put a space in there.

	smikeh: It's Springfield, not Spring Field.

	@elnok: Tommy_C is absolutely right--consider looking up "correlate". It just means that one makes the other more likely, not that one requires the other. E.G., maleness is correlated with greater height, notwithstanding the existence of Napoleon and the WNBA. See also the idiom about "the exception that proves the rule".

	Salt Lake City was a Final Jeopardy! answer last week as the only three-word capital. Was this quiz inspired by that? Hmmmm....

	Oh man, I was listing all the capitals in my head, named Carson City, and somehow didn't realize it was two words.

	davidr:	Nov 10th, 2009 at 21:34 GMT	20 points
	@subway24: But the capital of Vietnam is Hanoi...

	davidr:	Nov 10th, 2009 at 21:34 GMT	2 points
	I'm really surprised that Salt Lake City is in last place in the stats. I'd've expected that to be right up at the top, with poor old Missouri and Minnesota at the bottom, as usual.

	NightOwl:	Nov 10th, 2009 at 21:50 GMT	9 points
	@davidr: I think people start thinking in terms of two word cities rather than multiple word capitals and therefore forget Salt Lake City -- at least, that's what this person did.

	pottedstu:	Nov 10th, 2009 at 22:01 GMT	12 points
	Should have San Juan as a bonus answer, just in case.

	mimitchi86:	Nov 10th, 2009 at 22:04 GMT	2 points
	Thank goodness for that Animaniacs song about the state capitals. It's the only reason I remembered Little Rock, Des Moines, and Carson City.

	Wildcat612:	Nov 10th, 2009 at 22:22 GMT	9 points
	How interesting that they all touch!

	CDB1986:	Nov 10th, 2009 at 23:47 GMT	-4 points
	Why is it that San Juan should be included?

	jefferson city is hard to remember but i have to thank my 4th grade teacher for carson city the car's son is sitting because he drank to much new vodka

	So at first I thought it meant countries, so I was like ADDIS ABABA! And than I put New York City, haha.

	8/9, only missed St. Paul. I was thinking Minneapolis.

	good work, did it in one minute, but 2 minutes is just fine

	Pretty easy quiz, but fun nonetheless.

	kupfernick:	Nov 12th, 2009 at 02:16 GMT	0 points
	Missed Salt Lake City. I guess that makes me pretty average.

	mike5816:	Nov 21st, 2009 at 15:10 GMT	1 point
	How in the world is Salt Lake City the most missed? That's always the first city that comes to mind when thinking of multi-word state capitals. I mean, it's the only one with THREE words!

	mike5816:	Nov 21st, 2009 at 15:13 GMT	1 point
	Someone should add in "La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís" as a bonus since that is the official name of the New Mexico state capital.

	try this new fun quiz about states, really nice! http://www.sporcle.com/games/andrecb/statesbackwards

	Not enough time - i was trying to type Little Rock when I lost :/

	Every state on the west side of the Mississippi River has a two-word capital.

	KansasJayhawk:	Aug 5th, 2010 at 03:49 GMT	2 points
	The one that I missed was the city I was born in.

	It's amazing how often I get everything except Salt Lake City or Utah. I seem to have a mental block against Utah's existence.

	satyadasa:	Nov 27th, 2010 at 15:52 GMT	1 point
	All are (mostly or all) west of the Mississippi. All are contiguous with each other. Five states in a column (Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana) + Oklahoma + New Mexico + Utah at Four Corners + Nevada.
