Great idea, but maybe you could change it to accepting guesses for any rank and reducing the time.

I was torn as to whether to force users to guess the states in order and allow more time...or to allow one to guess the answers in any order but limit time. If I chose the latter I'd want to set time to just 1 minute, as a fast typer should be able to guess all 50 states in 2 minutes. So I stuck with the former options to keep if from being a 'guess every state' quiz. But I'd be fine with changing it if additional feedback favors it.

Definitely change it to guess any rank with less time. The quiz just isn't fun without it being that way after you get past the first three.

Since this quiz isn't per capita, then you really have to have a large population or a very high per capita to get high on this quiz listing.

@Geo...these stats are based on commercial scale wind farms, not residential units, so the amount of installed wind power capacity has nothing to do with population. it has more to do with the state having a good wind resource and energy market.
