I got it in 19 seconds but only because I typoed Michigan and continued on with Erie before realizing the first one didn't take. Had to erase 'em and start the two over.

yellow box doesn't make sense for a "name all the..." quiz. it only works when you have clues or some way of identifying which one is which.

knowledge is not dependant on typing speed, there are plenty of sites on the web for people to speed-type. Jet punk quizzes are about knowledge and learning. it is pathetic to see all the people that base their abilities on how fast they can type.

Hi, uh, Quizmaster?

Great quiz!

I sincerely love the concept. I now feel obligated to tell you: this quiz uses incorrect (American) spelling, which is fine (I guess), but could you please accept the Canadian spelling (Superiour, not Superior) too? I really appreciate it!

I have the honour to be your obedient servant,

Did anyone else find it jarring when the blue turned green, and not the yellow. Yes, I know it's obvious why, just very different from other map quizzes.

There is a tiny area that never turns green.

That tiny blue area is Lake St. Clair, not one of (or part of one of) the great lakes.

Nope. The Chicago River's flow has been reversed for decades, so raw sewage doesn't flow into the lake anymore.

I finished with 0:54, only because I'm a slow typist. It's a shame that actually challenging quizzes are being snubbed from the front page by these extremely easy 5-second quizzes.

I hate these tiny American-centric quizzes. Because so many people get 100%, you can get 0 points for only missing one, which is pretty good for a non-American (or non-Canadian in this case).

I'm hoping that you meant 'American' as 'North American', since all but one of these lakes is partly in Canada.

Jetpunk is an American website, so some US (or North American) bias is to be expected, I think.

The pleasure of JetPunk is finding out how much you know, and learning things you didn't. If you're so obsessed with what score you wind up with, just cheat. Problem/angst solved.

Being an Aussie and thus having pretty well nothing to do with the lakes, my guiding light is remembering the lyrics to "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot. Pleased to say that it worked!

I usually do this quiz by the order in which the glaciers receded and in accordance to which minerals supported life concurrent to the sediments which can be found in striation on each lake bed indicicative to the resulting fossils found in modern day archiological discoveries. . . . Naw, I'm just chewing your gum. I paid attention in geography and spat it back out. Big pat on the back for me. Nerds, the lot of youse.

That's how I remember it!

I misread this as a great lakes states quiz which I was convinced of after my first guess of Michigan. Took me about another 30 seconds of confusion before I realized.

I'm really surprised no one has said this yet, but Michigan and Huron are scientifically one lake. They have the same surface level and are connected by the ~5 mi wide Mackinac Strait.

Yeah, and Europe and Asia are scientifically one continent. However, for most use cases it's worth considering them as separate bodies.

Weird that Great Slave Lake and Great Bear Lake exist with the names they do and yet 5 lakes without the "great" in their name are called "Great Lakes." Even weirder when they are both bigger than Ontario and Erie. I guess that just comes down to geographical grouping.

5 seconds. There should be one with every lake in the US or perhaps the entire world with all the lakes with Great in them.

Seeing a little lake in between two of the great ones is funny!
