Way too easy. Either less time or more capitals. I did it in 18 seconds. And I had a couple of typos I had to fix.

If you had less time than 1 minute, then slow typers wouldn't even have a chance! I personally can't complete this that quickly (if at all) since I only know half the capitals.

I think the time is about right. Had to take it twice because I missed Hartford, still had time to guess several states there. The second time I got it with 35 seconds to spare, but didn't really have to stop and think. I mean, it is a pretty fast quiz already, I don't think there's room to reduce time.

Agreed. 18 seconds here..with typos as well. From a trivia standpoint, matching state capitals with state is extremely easy--so you have to add a speed aspect.

Finally, a good way to slowly get my head around US State capitals! Lousy scores for a while before i slowly remember them. Why are US State capitals hardly ever the main (largest) city?

Me too. I think it's because they were either the largest, or at least one of the largest, cities at the time the capital was decided upon. That and some were chosen because they were centrally located or important due to trade etc.

Combination of central location and/or a desire to keep the 'power' from being centralized in urban areas. The latter is a power struggle (rural/conservative- urban/liberal) we still see everyday, in the US and abroad.

Nothing really to elaborate on that the other comments here haven't mentioned, except to share this map of the US that shows states' largest cities and capitals and which states that happens to be same city. It's interesting how the age of the state doesn't necessarily predict whether the largest city will be the capital or not.

Of all the capitals, I find Albany (NY) and Harrisburg (PA), the strangest choices. Since New York City and Philadelphia were both at one time Capitals of the USA; you would think that it would be natural for them to be chosen as capitals of their respective States.

I would think having been national capitals would remove them from consideration as state capitals. You wouldn't want state and national power to be in the same place.
