This is another user created quiz where, while the idea is good, and is otherwise good, he time limit is just too darn short! or a Sporcle quiz to be entertaining, there has to be a REASONABLE chance the player can finish. Five minutes would have a nice time for this quiz - still a challenge, but doable for most people.

Most sporclers could come up with every state capital in five minutes. I got all but two in two minutes, and I had to actually think through the capitals instead of just randomly type them, which is good. You could go to three minutes, but no more.

I agree that a little more time would be nice.

Thanks for the comments -- I'm pretty new and I feel like I still need to figure out the timing. I was afraid that, like gqb says, someone could just type every capital if there was too much time. But it looks like in hindsight, 3 minutes would probably be better.

Dover isn't the biggest in Delaware? I can't even think of another city in that state. Same for Concord and Montpelier.

@CDB1986: Wilmington, DE; Manchester, NH; and Burlington, VT, are bigger than their respective capitals by far.

Not enough time, otherwise good quiz. Except I kind of hate these city-population quizzes, cause metro areas are much more logical...
