I did one of these a few days ago, although this quiz has a cool randomizer, and some of the cities in the other one aren't state capitals :)

2 minutes makes this tough, 2 1/2 may be a little better.

I got 20/20 in less than one minute. Of course it helps to write them down before you start the quiz lol

20/20 in less than a minute also. No writing them down beforehand. No extra time necessary.

For those of us who aren't savants, another minute would make this within the realm of possibility.

Most quizzes of this nature have the standard 4.00 minutes. Of course there is always the odd one who can do it in under a minute, but please don't base the skills of the majority on your own. And remember, not everyone taking this quiz is from the States.
