Wait...you knew the word Manhattan but couldn't come up with New York?! The state where the world trade centers were attacked? Wat?

Adrian, I think I got 45 without help and 47 with hints. I distinctly remember forgetting Utah, Kansas, and Colorada. This time I forgot Nebraska
I retook the test. All 50 in 5 minutes.

New York is the name of the city,part of which is on the island of Mahhattan, and the name of the state,of which the city is a part. I think the city of New York extends into three states :New York,New Jersey and Connecticut (?)

The states; I'll have a go,off the top of my head. 15 minute time limit:

Alabama
Alaska
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Indiana
Idaho
Iowa
Georgia
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine
Massechusets.
Missouri
Mississippi
Nevada
New York
New Jersey
New Mexico
North Dakota
North Carolina
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Dakota
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Virginia
Washington

Sorry,that's the best I can do within the time limit. I might eventually get them all if there was no time limit. Apologies for any spelling errors.

I know of the city. No one has ever told me before that the name of the state that it is in is the same name as the city. I've heard people use the word manhattan sometimes seemingly interchangeably with new york and assumed based on all the data I had immediately available that new york was a city in the state of manhattan.

To be honest, that's only really true for California. Colorado and Oregon didn't even register with me as places.

They are interchangeable because Manhattan is a borough inside New York City. So Manhattan isn't even a city....

So yeah there's a New York City inside of New York state.

Don't feel bad... I missed Nebraska, Minnesota, and Idaho. I don't even know where Minnesota is :S Lol ^_^ maybe north of Missouri and west of Michigan? Thinking

I can scarcely believe I missed Idaho and Nebraska.... I filled in those spots with other states in my mental map I guess Tongue

Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
