http://www.ironicsans.com/state22.html Oy, this is SO annoying... I got 49 states within 7 minutes, then spent the rest of the time trying to remember the last one. It was... Minnesota Apologies to those of you from there. :(( |

lol Maryland is not our nation's capital, and neither is it's capital, Annapolis. Washington D.C. is not located in ANY of the 50 states, rather, it is it's own district (hence D.C. aka District of Columbia). It's actually in between Maryland and Virginia. I got all 50 with 02:16 left, however for the last one I had to look at a map with the outline of the states (I was seeing them all in my head while naming them... their location on a map) to get Alabama. |

I think vneusch was saying that they missed Maryland, and that Maryland is by the capital - Washington DC. |

I had 48 done in less than 4 minutes. I then got Mass. - which was a silly oversight given my previous residence. The clock ran out and I was defeated by Wyoming. |

Got em all with 3:12 left - I lost time trying to spell Masschusetts...and evidently, I still can't... And how long does it take you to name all the states in Australia (and how many are there?) |

"Green Grass of Wyoming" by Mary O'Hara (who also wrote "My friend Flicka"). I always remember Wyoming because of that book. |

Haha, we learned in school to do it this way "M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-humpback-humpback-I". I still say this to myself when I need to spell it! |
