Disagree, less time. 2 minutes should be sufficient.

Not everybody is from the US and/or know the locations of the states that well (even on this site)

Could you do the same for the counties of the UK in less than two minutes? (if you are not from there) or the cantons of Switzerland?

Allow people to learn please. You don't lose anything by having more seconds left after you finish, it actually gives you more to brag about.

As soon as I saw that one had 7+ states, I automatically knew it would be Tennessee. Didn't even have to think about it.

That's what saved me too. Otherwise I wouldn't have made it in the given time.

4 Corners monument. Only place where 4 states meet. (P.S. Arizona borders Colorado)

I know you're not including maritime borders but Michigan also shares maritime borders with Illinois and Minnesota across Lakes Michigan and Superior respectively which appear to be the only cases of maritime-only borders between two states.

New York and Rhode Island also share a maritime border. That being said, it would be pretty pedantic even for the standards of this site to include it.

Alabama and Georgia also border Tennessee.

But the quiz only accepted the answer of Florida.

Because it names all of the states that the given state borders, and Tennessee borders more just than Alabama and Georgia.

It's surprising that california and delaware border the same number of states. Goes to show how compact New England is

Delaware isn’t in New England. Only Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut are.

As a Michigander, it hurts me to see so few people knowing where our state even is.

Interesting that this is mostly edge states. Logically they would have fewer borders than interior states, but this does make the quiz a bit easier.

Another quiz spoiled by an insufficient time limit. You need to play test your quizzes to see if you provide adequate time, which in this case you didn't.
