This will probably be too easy for most Americans and even others. If you had included both Wyoming and Colorado, then there might've been a little bit of a challenge...

@puckett86: I figured that. I did consider adding Wyoming and Colorado, but never went through with it. If I make a sequel, I will add them. I will just lower the time limit to 2 minutes.

good original idea, but super easy! i would even suggest lowering the time to just 1 minute.

they're also back-to-front, not only upside down.

I know the guy earlier requested 1 minute, but that's not enough time. One minute is really only necessary on speed drills of known lists (e.g. 50 states). Consider making it 2 minutes.

I agree with the amount of scrolling that may come up with skipping an answer. Maybe push to 2 minutes.

cleared it with one second left. The scrolling makes it not enough time.

1 minute makes this quiz a speed quiz, which isn't fun when you're trying to logically work through things. Speed quizzes are only fun for things you recite from memory. I'd say 2-3. Also agreed that these aren't upside-down, they're mirrored vertically.

iowa is too squished horizontally. it makes it look like arkansas. other than that, though, great quiz. 1 minute is plenty of time.

So you make a too big unclear picture that forces us to scroll up and down and only give us one minute... smart.

finished with 18 seconds to spare. only have to scroll for the first row, 1 minute is fine.

One minute is fine. Two minutes is a ridiculously long time. THERE ARE 16 STATES. It's not as if he's asking for all 50. My suggestion to those who hate scrolling would be to guess 2-3 at a time or even the entire row, then scroll down, enter the answers and repeat.

Great idea, but I agree, its not a speed typing quiz, two minutes would be best. I made a typo on kentucky, and by the time I had fixed the mistake, my time was practically gone.

Sorry everyone. I was really busy and I didn't get home until now. I am really confused because half of the people want 1 minute and the other half want 2 minutes. For now, I have changed it back to 2 minutes. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

way too easy. shoulda done the less recognizable states, something like georgia, montana, delaware, vermont and NH coulda been a fun little mixup, you catch my drift

especially since some states have rotational symmetry (NJ) or something distinguishable (alaska)...

If it is one minute you have less than four seconds per state. That isn't a lot of time when you take into account scrolling up and down and allowing for typos. I finished with 20 seconds left and missed one the first time.

for some reason, the rightmost vertical row of diagrams is cut off midway, making it very hard to guess for some of them. Is this a design issue or something with my screen resolution? Nothing else on the screen is cut off, and many areas extend to the right of the areas that I can't see. It's frustrating.

Good quiz, except the 4th column is cut off, making Iowa unnecessarily difficult.

@Imon and Csquared08: I don't know why the 4th column is cut off, it is fine on my computer. I have made the picture smaller, so may be that helps? I also did my best to fix the Iowa picture. I tried to make it longer horizontally, rather than squished together like it was before.

I agree with some other people that it should be one minute. Besides that minor flaw though, I really enjoyed the quiz. Very creative.

@zwalsh54: Thanks.
@gwukelic: Thanks. I did have it at 1 minute, but at that time the picture was very large and on account of the scrolling, people could not finish the quiz, so I raised the time limit to 2 minutes.
