Name all 50 States
November 24, 2009 at 10:46 am
Adrian and I have both challenged each other on skype or chat to name the 50 states. I know I got all but 3 and I forgot how Adrian did, but not as well as me.
Well, in a continuation of that theme, here's an online challenge to name the 50 states in 10 minutes. I did it, and even though I was distracted and on the phone for 5 minutes, I got 49 out of 50.

How well can you do?

I thought you got 45 out of 50, and I got 40 out of 50. 
In that online one, I got 41 out of 50. A slight improvement; I still forget some really stupid ones. *goes back to revision*

I got 36 and I missed 14. One of which was Alaska. I didn't forget Mississippi, I just couldn't spell it in time so I skipped it.
Best regards,

Oh.In that case,probably, if I had all day. However,I can think of a few dozen other things I'd druther.
I'm sure this will come as a shock to our American members. Australian schools don't usually teach American geography or history. Consequently,there are probably quite few US states I would not be able to pin point on an unmarked map. I wonder how many Americans can,starting with their own..
--I have only visited 6 US states: New York, Connecticut, Illinois, Washington State, California and Hawaii

Manhattan is apparently not a state. Who knew?

Hmm, Australia isn't just one big state? Yeah, they didn't teach us a damn thing about Australia in public school! You ride kangaroos while eating vegimite sandwichs right? Are you six foot four and full of muscles?
