	I haven't actually tested the whole alphabetical order, but it should theoretically work (please let me know if it doesn't). Anyone who can do that, under 10 minutes, and no fixing at the same time gets mad respect from me.

	I placed the states in alphabetical order but didn't receive any credit for it. However, there were a couple instances where I pulled out a state, tried to place it, realized I had the wrong one, and put it back (curse you Colorado and Wyoming and your nearly-but-not-quite-identical shapes!). Is that supposed to be disqualifying me from the alphabetical code?

	tobley:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 05:31 GMT		2 points
	As long as it doesn't snap in, it should be fine. I'll actually confirm it myself and find out if there is a problem.

	Outstanding game. Way easier than Africa, but probably because I don't live in Africa. Can't wait to see the rest of the world.

	Everything should be working now!

	sbme:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 06:59 GMT		3 points
	I got them in alphabetical order in under 10 minutes, but I didn't get the extra points for the alphabetical order

	WredAguyW:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 08:31 GMT		4 points
	Yet another more reason to be upset at my teachers for never teaching me an alphabetical US States song growing up.

	I guess I never paid attention to how tilted all the states are until I tried to do it in alphabetical order and couldn't get alabama to work. Damn curvature of the earth, I wish Copernicus never discovered you.

	i dont understand what "fixing" is

	Tobsodan:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 12:07 GMT		1 point
	This is just as brilliant as the African one, although I do think it´s a bit easier (even though I am not an American). Because of this the alphabetical bonus might be a nice touch, but I haven't dared to try that yet. Keep them coming!

	How is this supposed to work?

	marpocky:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 13:35 GMT		6 points
	I also got them in alphabetical order with no credit.

	Hawaii doesn't seem to be working for me -- it won't drag and drop.

	adidag0:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 15:56 GMT		3 points
	I just did the whole thing in alphabetical order and didn't get credit for it. I'm positive the order was correct.

	tobley:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 16:05 GMT		8 points
	The culprit was a missing comma... It should really work this time! I do appreciate all of the people who are attempting it in order and not hating me for it not working yet.

	beaujarkko:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 16:11 GMT		6 points
	I just did it in alphabetical order and didn't get the bonus, sorry!

	tobley:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 17:00 GMT		3 points
	Tested the entire thing, which worked, and reuploaded it just in case it didn't stick before. Really hope it works this time.

	Apollo846:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 17:44 GMT		4 points
	Sorry to be that guy, but how exactly does this work? I get 5 or whatever, I type in the code, and then the time runs out and I only get credit for 5 states. I'm assuming that people aren't getting all 50 states under one minute.

	tobley:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 17:57 GMT		12 points
	You are supposed to finish as much as possible from the flash thing, and when you are completely done, enter in the 1-3 codes that you get. I will try to make this a bit clearer in the directions.

	kcostell:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 18:34 GMT		15 points
	I think the important thing to make clear in the instructions is that you don't "click start to begin" before you begin. There's a lot of quizzes on here (audio quizzes, slideshow quizzes, etc.) where you click start, then start solving the puzzle and entering answers/codes as you go. Here if you click the start button at the beginning, you've pretty much made it impossible for yourself.

	adidag0:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 18:47 GMT		2 points
	Still love the game. I'll test alphabetical later. One question: where's my home? Missing DC :(.

	Teary_Ennui:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 21:59 GMT		3 points
	Wow, so tough. Well done on the execution. Just like Africa, the little ones are the hardest to fit (NH, VT, MD, DE)

Comment below threshold: show it

	Also...does anybody else wish the government would carve just a little notch out of Wyoming or Colorado so they can more easily be told apart when not in place on a map? lol

	gwukelic:	Nov 25th, 2011 at 06:37 GMT		8 points
	How did you do this?!

	Pit_trout:	Nov 25th, 2011 at 20:08 GMT		5 points
	Brilliant, brilliant quizzes — not just great fun once, but lots of replay value. Definitely destined for the classics shelf. One wording suggestion: when I first played, I thought that “rotation/size fixing” meant making any change to rotation/size after you’ve moved it on to the board and let go; and it seems like other people are also getting confused over what it means too. Perhaps calling it “auto-fixing” or similar would be clearer?

	I did better on the Africa one, but this was really good as well. I am looking forward to a Europe one...

	segacs:	Nov 25th, 2011 at 21:17 GMT		3 points
	This was so much harder than the Africa one, I found. Too many US states are just rectangles that have more or less the same shape.

	I got 16...I guess I'm just proud I finished the map......Great quiz!!!

	do one of the entire world, and the moon. I love these quizzes.

	This quiz is appreciated. And I am a contender for "Understatement of the Week".

	ezois:	Nov 27th, 2011 at 00:55 GMT		0 points
	Is there a map? I see a big space.

	Lighthouse:	Nov 27th, 2011 at 08:38 GMT		2 points
	@ezois, are you using firefox? That was happening on my computer too but I refreshed a couple of times and eventually it worked

	FudoTM87:	Nov 28th, 2011 at 12:25 GMT		3 points
	brilliant now do the europe :D

	Tommy_C:	Nov 28th, 2011 at 19:21 GMT		2 points
	If you don't know your states alphabetically, I suggest you arrange them below the map by first letter, then put them in place from there. With practice you'll get fast enough to get under 10, but it's significantly harder than non-alphabetical. You can't start with the distinctive outside states and work in to the rectangles. Sizing, rotating and placing Arkansas and Colorado without much to guide you is difficult.

	teddylupin_snape:	Nov 28th, 2011 at 23:23 GMT		1 point
	@Tommy_C: Before I can arrange them by letter, I may want to learn which state is which....I know it's sad....I've lived in America my whole life.....

	Another brilliant 5/5 game. Can't imagine how much work this took! One thing: I didn't use either "fix" but got messages after both "Under 20 min rot fix" and "Under 20 min size fix". I guess the "rankings" just have to fill in order?
