I usually push back against this kind of thing, but yeah. This falls well short for this kind of quiz. This is not just retrieval of stored knowledge (i.e. "Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"). For many questions, it's an evaluation of miscellaneous facts you know about the item in question and in which state (that hasn't already been crossed off the list) you're likely to find it. Needs about another 2 minutes, IMO.

It's a challenge for sure, I just made it under the wire. I suggest a liberal use of the tab button and then come back to the ones you don't know when they are only a few options to choose from.

As a non-American, I genuinely think I would need about half an hour to nut this one out. It would be faster just to try every state name in every box without reading the clues.

Definitely. I only got about 50% of these answered and I scored better than 71% of people. That tells me most people are not able to answer this with enough time

I think those that tend to resist the call for a longer clock could perhaps take into account that typing speed when sat a desk with a keyboard is always way faster than using a phone on the go. There must be a lot of people using Jetpunk to entertain themselves on their commute.

Great quiz! A little more time would be appreciated. Also, the easternmost state is Alaska - see QuizMaster's "Interesting Facts" Number 74.

That's not that clear. east and west is relative. It's like saying you can't go west from 180°

Well regardless of clarity, it is the westernmost, easternmost and northernmost state.

absolutely needs more time and this is coming from a geography trivia buff! make it at least 2-3 minutes longer but could even go ten minutes total as I barely got halfway through quiz.

Great quiz! I do believe the New Hampshire record is for highest wind speed outside a tornado.

You are right, there have been tornadoes that have exceeded the New Hampshire record. However, since there is no way to measure their speed reliably, tornadoes are not considered official records.

It's a very good quiz but needs about 2 more minutes - especially beneficial for those outside of the USA who want a good challenge.

You've crafted a nice mix of facts and guessing questions. But 6 seconds to read, think and answer each question is really pushing it – and that's if you get every single one right first time.

Double the time and it'd be a lot more enjoyable.

I'm surprised by the low percentage of the wind speed clue. Mount Washington held the record for more than six decades. And not only for the US, but for the whole world!
