Level 51

Aug 30, 2012

It's usually the time that gets me in these US State quiz as it's harder to recollect (despite knowing them all) when you're not American. This one was a cinch though- 2'26" remaining.

+26

Level 33

Aug 30, 2012

Level 43

Mar 5, 2013

50/50, 2:26 left

Level 90

Mar 27, 2013

Should edit the quiz to include the territories (Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, etc.) just to trip up those using the Fifty Nifty or 50 states that rhyme songs...

Level 45

Jan 29, 2022

As a Cincinnati Bengals fan, I wish I could say the same. :-(

Level 54

Sep 22, 2013

Got it with 3:12 to go. I learned the states in alphabetical order by song in 2nd grade and to this day it's how I still remember the states and their names. I just sing the song to myself. :)

Level 45

Jan 29, 2022

I learned it in 4th

Level 35

Nov 7, 2013

0:43 remaining. Would be more embarrassing if I was American. I completely forgot about all the "New" states and couldn't figure out why there were so many Ns!

Level 44

Nov 17, 2013

Live next door to Texas and was born in Ohio= after getting Oregon and Tennessee, racking my brain for second O and T state. Argh!

Level 81

May 20, 2014

Did anyone else use that song to help remembee the states in alphabetical order?

Level 67

Aug 11, 2019

noone, ow wait, besides the two dozen that allready commented that they did (actually 9/10 of the comments preceeding yours is about the song)

Unless your comment was meant to be sarcastic, in that case, well played.

Level 49

May 7, 2015

I was surprised we were given a first letter. I'm Canadian and could do this quite easily. Can someone do an alphabetical state capitals one with no hints? I'd like to try that...

Level 46

May 7, 2015

All 50 with 3:37 left!

Level 81

May 7, 2015

Just 0:49 left, at least this one had plenty of time. Funny how easy it's to completely blank on some.

Level 82

May 7, 2015

50/50. Not American, but a song did help me (it wasn't Fifty Nifty though, it was Go Pato).

Level 65

May 12, 2015

Way harder than I thought it would be!

Level 49

May 13, 2015

Level 54

Jun 27, 2016

Nov 14, 2016

I know all the US States on the map of USA, I can name them all in relation to their position to each other, yet when it came to alphabetical I didn't have enough time to finish, trying to work out the alphabetical order especially in the M's and the N's, only got 1 point for my trouble.

Level 65

Jan 15, 2017

'New' Mexico? Fascinating

Level 77

Aug 29, 2017

When I was young many older people referred to the country as "Old Mexico". I'm guessing that started when New Mexico became a state. I said something to my grandmother once about Mexico and she asked, "Which one, new or old?"

Level 68

Feb 20, 2017

Aug 6, 2019

When did they come up with this fifty-nifty song? I never heard of it. My son, who is 18, says he never heard of it either.

It’s funny, but I grew up in New Jersey, and I don’t have any recollection of having to memorize all the states. I do remember though, very clearly, having to memorize all the counties in New Jersey! 😅

Level 65

I was thinking about the state capitals quiz to this

Level 76

Sep 16, 2020

Here before the District of Columbia becomes a state! 😉😏

Level 28

Jun 22, 2021

It won’t because it’s the Capital of the United States Puerto Rico is more likely to become a state!

Level 60

Jul 28, 2021

Well, Uncle Joe has a little weird grasp on reality, so it actually really seems more likely that DC will become the 51 at the moment. Or at least, I haven't heard him speaking about how the Puertoricans deserve a representation.

Level 59

Oct 4, 2020

Anyone beat 3:50?

Level 55
