	Why am I including DC & Puerto Rico? Because if I used 50 states, then I'd have to have a 5 column table and the maps would be even tinier. This way I can have 4 columns and 13 rows. (3x17 just seemed too long.)

	woohoo! first quiz taker. way too much time IMO. most americans ought to be able to fly through this until those nasty square states at the end haha

	Accept Washington D C for District of Columbia.

	DC is accepted, Washington isn't.

	The mass of square states is hard, but after you guess a few you can narrow it down. That adds an interesting dynamic to it actually.

	Good quiz. I finished with about 2 minutes left without faltering much at all. If there was one less minute on the timer it would add a little more pressure.

	why isn't washington dc accepted

	Because Washington in this quiz is a state. While there are no differences physically between DC and the city of Washington, only DC or District of Columbia (as specified in the question atop the quiz) can be accepted.

	accept washington dc, there is no need not to, its called washington dc not district of columbia, its no longer called district of columbia so it shouldnt be like that in the quiz

	Nicely done. I let the size of Connecticut throw me. Grrr.

	I think this would be a good quiz for "wrong answers are wrong answers". Puts the pressure on at the end.

	@Caramba: I agree on principle, but I don't know how that can be done with a picture quiz. There's no "clue" to link the wrong answer to.

	You know... if you included Guam, N. Mariana Islands, US Virgin Islands, and American Samoa, you'd still have a 4-column table... just throwing that out there. Could be fun.

	I learned these when I was doing Tobley's puzzle quizzes, in particular doing the states in alphabetical order. It helps a lot if you can recognize the outlines at a glance. For anyone who's mastered that quiz, this one is not hard in the time allowed.

	Ahh... someone beat me to it, I was going to say if you're including PR, you should also include Guam, American Samoa, Virgin Islands, etc. Not just because of column convenience, just because I don't see how Puerto Rico is more important than all those other American territories. Sure, maybe the media/pop-culture thinks of it as 'that place that should be a state but isn't' but this is Sporcle... where it is just the same as Guam et al.
