Good idea for a quiz.

Probably too generous on the time though. There is long enough to go through and type the various options and get them right that way.

Level 88

Nov 23, 2017

Agreed. Took me 17 seconds.

Level 71

Nov 24, 2017

It took me 21 and I'm quite good at typing. It's just that I have never spelled Masachussets correctly in my life.

Level 82

Dec 6, 2017

You must've spelled it correctly at least once in your life to finish this quiz.

Level 47

Mar 6, 2018

Except that QM allows for spelling mistakes. So yes, he could have spelt it wrong his whole life.

Level 67

Mar 7, 2018

11 seconds: if you know the states, it's basically a typing contest. It's a good quiz, though.

@Pimbard6: If you know the answers, any quiz becomes basically a typing contest.

I just remember it like (Massa-Chu-Setts) makes it easy when you break it into 3 different words

Level 37

Jun 17, 2021

yeah i agree

Level 23

Sep 12, 2022

I remember it like Mass-ACHOO!-setts

Level 60

Jan 6, 2025

I do it by remembering two S's, one S, two T's. 2-1-2 on the consonants.

Level 66

Nov 24, 2017

Agreed. I managed to get all correct even though I couldn't tell apart Missouri, Mississippi and Maine. Tried them all ramdomly until I got 100%. That took me 1 minute, so I guess 45 or 50 seconds woul be the ideal time to separate people who actually know everything from people like me, who happen to remember the names of the states.

Level 91

Oct 23, 2019

Odd, someone called PotatoBoy not recognizing Maine.

Level 75

Mar 8, 2018

It says 1:55 remaining but I can't believe I got them all in five seconds, especially since I spelled Minnesota wrong and had to start over. (But I am a fast typist, so maybe it's possible.)

Level 75

Oct 5, 2020

Wow, what a difference two and a half years makes. It took me quite a bit longer this time and I certainly would no longer call myself a fast typist. :(

Level 52

Sep 17, 2020

i agree it should be 1 minute or 30 seconds

Level 79

Nov 26, 2017

13 seconds, agree that a minute is sufficient. thanks for the five points!

Level 66

Nov 27, 2017

The answers don't appear when you get them correct, though the total increases.

Level 71

Nov 30, 2017

I don't know if it is just me but the images are too big on mobile.

Level 79

Nov 30, 2017

For me also, but I don't know why is that.

Fixed, thanks. I changed scroll mode to default to fix this.

Level 67

10 seconds. A minute is plenty of time.

Level 51

Jan 24, 2018

Definitely.

Level 69

Mar 6, 2018

You know what would be great for these types of quizzes; an option that if you incorrectly guess the answer, you cannot guess it again (kind of like when there is that pick list).

Level 24

Mar 7, 2018

That would be fun.

Level 69

Jan 19, 2024

you would need to submit the answer. It would be a completely experience.

Level 79

Mar 6, 2018

13 seconds. A minute is more than enough.

Level 38

Didn’t realize there were so many states starting with m

Level 47

I got it done in 1 hour and 18 minutes.

Level 65

Nov 27, 2019

You must be cheating... I can't even finish it in a day, I'm so slow at typing. Like, this comment took me several years to finish.

Level 24

Mar 8, 2018

I am from Ireland and I got it with 4 seconds left! As an outsider who is interested in US it took me a while to get it. I understand its easy for local Americans to guess but you have to think of the rest of the world who are not familiar with all the areas! Like I guarantee you couldnt do all the areas in Ireland by outline!!

Unfortunately, too true.

States starting with M are the hardest to type

Level 65

Nov 27, 2019

I know, like, kinnesota is super hard. Though, seriously, I always struggle on Massachusetts.

Level 75

Oct 5, 2020

I think Connecticut is the hardest of all. I have to break it down in my mind to Connect I cut.

Level 16

Apr 16, 2019

Most of these states are densely populated and not that well known.

Level 65

Nov 27, 2019

But they start with M!

Level 81

Oct 5, 2020

Really far too many M states. Should rename some of these.

Missouri and Mississippi in particular are super uncreative. Easily confused for the rivers they're named after. And "Montana"? Please. And "Maryland"? Uncreative, and didn't we fight a whole war so we didn't have to deal with kings and queens, let alone name states after them? They should have strong American names like Guntopia, Knifeiana or Strongergroyne.

Plus, Montana is so large as to be ungainly and should be divided. Maryland is awkwardly-shaped and should change its borders to be a little more round. Maybe they can do a triple deal to fix West Virginia's equally awkward shape and lame name. Minnesota can stay basically the same but let's eliminate the unsightly skin tag on its northern border. I don't even care if Canada takes it, it can be our Bir Tawil.

Level 46

easy if you know your states

why is my state the least guessed

For those whining about time, there might be people who need that time to actually think of all the m-states. If you ask a random person on the street (not in America) they probably won't be able to name them all, let alone in the allotted time.

If you know them all without needing to waste time on remembering, the time is fine and perhaps slightly one the generous side (which is fine..). If you know (nearly) all the shapes too then yes, it is a lot of time.

But would you whine for less time too when the quiz was French departments starting with M?
