John Denver wrote a nice song about WV...I've driven through it, pretty state, wondered about so many 'Byrd' named highways, rest areas. I think he was pretty good at getting federal funds to help through the declining coal industry. Plus good music comes out of Appalachia!

I've tried this quizz a few times, and my best score is 33/50 states. I did not know that the quiz accepted abreviations for some states.

My main issue is that I tend to spell incorrectly. So I lose the time of typing the worng word, checking where the mistake was, and then having to delete the word and retype.

I wonder if I can do the quizz, with no spelling mistakesm and using the State's full names, under one minute?

Finally got it after 72 complete attempts and many many more incomplete ones. As a tip, these are all the type-ins that save characters: conneticut ilinos loisiana masachusets minesota misisipi misuri nh nj nyc pensylvania roadisland tenesee.

nyc should probably not be a type-in for New York state, but abuse it while you can.

Finally did it with 4 seconds left!!

The trick is to learn sequences instead of individual states.

Like, I don't even see Washington or Oregon, the west coast is just one big state called "washingtonoregoncalifornianevada"

Then you have "Idahomontanawyomingutaharizona"

The whole texas region is "texasnewmexicolouisianaoklahoma"

ALL 50 LET'S GOOOOO (1:00)

anyways tips:

muscle memory is the name of the game

optimally remember the first few and don't refer to the map

washingtonoregoncalifornianevada,

montanaidahonorthdakotasouthdakota,

wyomingcoloradoutaharizonanewmexico,

texasnebraskakansasoklahoma.

that's the entire west complete.

remember a part in one chunk, which hopefully leaves you with enough time to finish the east (which I haven't thought off strategies yet) but still remember have a good grasp on what you need to type

good luck
