Time Waster: Name all 50 states in 10 min without looking. - Page 3

CoMoChief · 03-05-2007, 04:01 PM

I thought it was gonna be easy. You can't look at any maps etc. I thought I used to have this states song I learned in elementary school but I couldn't remember it. I got 48 out of 50. It's harder than you think.

Granted, this was the second time around, but I did it this time in under three minutes.

I was always good at geography.

Got'em all in two minutes. Didn't have any problems with the last few, since I just moved from the NE to the south and out to the West in order.

Arizona and conneticut

rattled off the colonies on my fingers to 13, guess I thought I'd put conneticut in already. I missed arizona on the western states - I started on the four corners states and didn't get all 4 before jumping to some others.

5:27, but I spent about a minute and a half stalled at 48.

Alaska and Hawaii. I was only picturing the contiguous 48.

Delaware appears to be the stumper.

I got it (for #50) with 1:14 left.

Woo-hoo!

Got 'em with 2:33 remaining. Got all but Rhode Island with about six minutes remaining.

I got them all in 2 minutes 14 seconds. I would have cracked 2 minutes, but I typoed the hell out of oklahoma and took a while to figure out that i was missing the first "a".

Some of you may remember the 50 states that rhyme song in grade school. I was forced to memorise that song in 2nd grade and now, about 20 years later, I still remember it. To me this was just a typing contest, rattling them out on the keyboard in alphabetical order.

This is why naturalized citizens are superior to the rest of you idiots.

**Saulbadguy** · 03-05-2007, 09:03 PM

It's embarrassing that people can't name all 50 states. It's UN-AMERICAN.

**DaFace** · 03-05-2007, 09:13 PM

I got all 50 with 3:35 left. Took me two minutes to figure out what I was missing, though.

Halfcan · 03-05-2007, 09:17 PM

I got them all in less than 3 min
