| Ha, I never realized that the last two states are also the only ones with capitals ending in "u." |

| You could change the "-k" question into a "-ck" question. |

| Ending your capital in ''u'' is apparently not cool enough for contiguous states. |

| Excellent quiz. The fact that the two 'g' capitals end in different versions of the 'g' sound cost me that one. |

| Amazing that on all the ones I missed, I could think of one but not the other |

| Excellent quiz. Really had to stop and think on some of these. 5 globes. |

| As someone whose first "use" of Sporcle was to teach myself all the US capitals, I still love these quizzes! I thought the time a little too generous at 7 minutes though. |

| One of the first state capitals quizzes I couldn't sweep. (I passed right by Little Rock and aparently thought it ended with a Q.) Deceptively tough. Good one! |

| Missed the -u capitals. Kinda forgot about the 2 non-contiguous states. |

| Weird how the brain works. I can name the 50 caps with ease, but did horrible at this. I just couldnt pair them up. |

| Initially I thought "Oh, that's way too much time", but by the end, I was really stretching my brain! A fantastic example of common knowledge with a twist! Thanks for the mental workout! :) |

| Really fun quiz. Exactly like a game of "concentration" for me--I kept coming up with one, and having to remember where I put the other one! |

| I didn't think about the non-contiguous states until about 15 seconds left and realized that those 2 went together. Just got them entered in time. |

| I did it four times until I finally got them all, thanks for a great quiz, harder than I thought! |

| Made it with less than 30 seconds to spare! This quiz really benefits from the Sporcle format--it'd be much less challenging if you could type one of the two capitals next the suffix and save it until you thought of the other one. |

| I missed the -ston and -son pairs. Funny thing is I've been to three of those four cities (exception being Jackson)! Very frustrating, yet very fun and challenging. |

| I thought this was an interesting quiz. And using the capital endings made for some odd commonalities between two often disparate and distant states. I never thought I'd see a pairing of Washington and South Carolina, or Wisconsin and Mississippi, etc. |

| It's fascinating how the brain (mine, anyway) just suddenly balks at having to sort information this way! Trying to convince it that Lansing and Harrisburg match each other somehow felt like trying to mash two mismatched puzzle pieces together. Does. Not. Compute. Asplode! |

| Great quiz. Like noted above I can rattle off all capitols with ease but pairing them is a challenge. Thanks for a good quiz. |

| This may be my favorite quiz I've taken on Sporcle. Thanks for such an interesting concept! |

| @lassidoggy The Capital of Minnesota is St. Paul. |

| Those blasted "-u" capitals.
Took me the longest time to figure them out. |

| Charleston really screwed me up on this quiz. I wasted a lot of time trying to match Boston and Austin. They rhyme. Isn't that good enough? |
