	@british and others: Keep in mind that you can click on any box to answer for that letter. You don't have to sit and wait for an answer to come to mind.

	Seemed easy, so I was embarrassed when I only got 13. It got even worse when I retook it and only got 11! Tricky tricky... good quiz.

	B stumped me entirely, so apologies to all Nebraskans. Great idea - fourth letter anyone?

	Is the URL referring to "First the worst, second the best..."? Cool quiz

	Maybe I took this too early in the morning, but I definitely could've used more time

	Great quiz! Good idea with the perfect amount of time

	Great quiz, and I speak as someone who only got 11. Another minute and I would have had them, but where's the challenge in that? I see that two I missed were among the most commonly left off; what's with Indiana and Michigan?

	I found it much easier to run through the states and fill in the blanks accordingly.

	The strategy I used for this was to go around the map and figure out the 3rd letter of every state I could think of. I tried to do the opposite, go around looking for states with a certain 3rd letter, and that did not turn out to be a good use of the first 30 seconds.

	Missed by 4 states. Some came easily others I had to noodle out. Easiest was W thanks to all the "NEW" states. Needed B, C, D, and K. This reminds me of a Final Jeopardy question a few years back - What two states contain the complete name of another state? arKANSAS west VIRGINIA (didn't get this one)

	Good quiz. I still had about 4 or 5 answers left with 8 seconds to go, thought of Maine for the I answer, clicked on it and quickly typed, but my fingers were in the wrong spot so I ended up typing "naube" instead :(

	I finally remembered Nebraska, but "D" and "U" got me.

	Yet another US geography quiz aced because in 5th grade, the chorus teacher had us sing "Fifty Nifty United States", and that song is forever burned into my memory.

	PK9:	May 19th, 2011 at 21:28 GMT		1 point
	Bah. I though of Texas and Arkansas with like 15 seconds to go, but I relaxed thinking those were my last two and I was unprepared when N popped up as unanswered. I easily thought of "Pennsylvania" but my hands weren't on the keyboard anymore.

	@RandomAxis Because many Sporclers can name the 50 states in under 2 minutes.

	First time I've ever finished a quiz, first time, with exactly a minute left :D.

	I got Nebraska with no problems, but Michigan was the stumper for me.

	Damn! I only missed 'e'. And I went west a bunch of times, but I couldn't remember Oregon, for some reason...

	I missed a bunch of these, but it was a fun, unique quiz.

	One of those quizzes that seems like it will be so easy, and it turns out to be much harder. I only got 9 on my first try! That's okay, too easy isn't much fun. Great quiz!

	I can't believe the last one I got was Texas... that happens to be where I live... Of course I was going through all of the states in alphabetical order and filling the blanks in accordingly until I got to the end. But still!
