I'm of the Joey Tribbiani school of thought on the states game. There are 56. A lot of those are missing on this quiz. It's 2018. I think it's time we got this quiz up to speed.

If you mean American Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam or anything like it; it doesn't count. They are not states, but territories, which means they are basically a state, but don't have the right to vote. Altogether they don't have as many rights as the actual states do.

I could be wrong as I'm not American, and this comment is old, but perhaps people say "I'm going to Salt Lake" but you wouldn't hear someone say "I'm going to Jefferson/Carson"? Either way sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't it's not that hard to type the word city

I knew all the answers and finished with 28 seconds left on the first try. The thing is I am only in 5th grade but I memorized all this at home when I was in 3rd grade. That's probably only because I love geography though.

It seems to me, that the USA-badge is actually a "USA for Americans"-badge.

50/50 state capitals?

You only need 10/20 cities in France, 15/20 cities in Germany and 42/69 cities in the UK for their respective badges...

BTW the same argument goes for the presidents - but that is another quiz.

It's interesting to me that in most US states, the capital is not the most well known city, at least outside the USA. I think most Australians would guess that NYC is the capital of New York state, or that either Miami or Orlando, both of which we've heard of thanks to the NBA, is the capital of Florida. Same for Detroit and Michigan, or Houston (NASA!) and Texas.
