I'm in a Iranian Prison being held hostage against my will, they keep asking me for America's nuclear launch codes, but I keep refusing and everyday I lose a ligament in my body, as well as a tooth, organ, or any other bodily part of me that is human, right now on Day 248, keeping my pride, being able to stick it to them. And I still had 2 minutes left
The only one I didn't get was massachusetts. It took me a while to remember it, and by the time I did I didn't have much time left. Was unable to come up with the correct spelling in 4 seconds ;_;
mass (weight is not something common there)achu (sneeze - excuse to get expelled from Harvard) setts. Setts of revision work to get into harvard. Mass achu setts
Good quiz. Can you do something where you have to put them in order or admittance for an added element of difficulty? Imagine most jetpunking yanks can do an open map without much difficulty.
How do so many people miss Wisconsin/Minnesota? It should be pretty obvious when they are missing considering they are both somewhat large. They both also have a pretty distinctive shape, don't get how they are in bottom 5.
Which Europeans? Not me, I find that, even when I’m introduced to new people, the more unusual the name, the more likely I am to remember it. The very fact of its uniqueness makes it stand out in my memory. Which is why, when I try the “Biggest cities in the US quizzes, I’ll miss boring, English sounding ones like ‘Stockton’ or ‘Riverside,’ but I’ll get ones like ‘’Murfreesboro,’ ‘Albuquerque,’ and ‘Chattanooga.’
Having said that, we British have admittedly become something like Europe’s ginger step-kid for the time being so maybe you didn’t mean us…
Are you actually serious? If you don't want a quiz that is USA centric then don't attempt to do one titled US States on an Empty map. If you want one that is not USA centric then create your own.
Omigod, that reply is so US-centric, it mentions the US(A) at least three times! Can we please have some angry, unironic replies that OTHER countries care about!? People in Luxembourg have feelings too, ya know!
Good quiz, I can name all the States but doing it this way I couldn't remember which States I'd already named. If you like a tricky quiz try my ....... Mal's The 'Americas' Closest Capital Hopscotch
I finished the main part of the united states with 2 minutes less, when i finally finished with one minute left because i couldn't figure out the last two states. (Hawaii and Alaska) 0-o :)> :3
Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine. If you do it in that order (with the exception of Hawaii and Alaska, of course) your next answer will always border your previous answer.
Five of the bottom 12 least guessed are in New England. Is that because people are going left to right (I always do New England last) or do people struggle more with New England geography? Except for Maine, but its bigger and conspicuously at the top.
What is a great response to: "What is the capital of New England?" Or much worse: "What is the capital of Africa?" ---

I tend to know the places best to which I've travelled, and that's not New England. Perhaps the reason is that there aren't popular tourist destinations in New England?
I always type the states in the order of Fifty Nifty (alphabetically). But I hate Fifty Nifty, "The Fifty States That Rhyme" is 100x better and it's also in alphabetical order.
I try to challenge myself by naming them in order of statehood. I get from 1-38, but I always mix up a few states between 39-43 until I pick myself back up for a victory lap with 44-50.
I don’t really see a difference about blank and not blank. Maybe make a harder one where it’s black but when you name a state it doesn’t show up so you don’t know what you have already guessed so maybe you could do that.
I know that DC isn't a state, but you should create a version of this with the states, territories, and DC all included. Other than that, thank you for the great work!
Simple right?
They obviously know something is missing there they just don't know what because those are pretty unpopular states and have unique names.

no jk
