I got all 50, but I cheated a bit to remind me of some of the states...

I got a time zone map of the country next to my desk to keep it straight where people are in terms of time related to me. I was forgetting Maine and Rhode Island and had to look to find them...

*grins*

I would have done better, got it done in like 8 minutes, but I didn't know how to correctly spell Louisiana.

*facepalm*

I couldn't spell Tennessee or Pennsylvania. LOL!

[drusplace.livejournal.com]

LOL I almost couldn't spell Massachusetts! *iz still not sure of spelling*

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! Silly Americans and their silly spellings ;)

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

The spellings are actually Native American - they come from Native words. :)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! I know. I was just kidding

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

Oh I knew you were kidding but I thought you might not know where the words came from. :D

I wasn't offended or anything - we Americans are pretty silly. ;)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee! No more than the rest of us I'm sure

[dm-wyatt.livejournal.com]

I didn't have any problems with them, for some reason, but I used to live in Pennsylvania, so I'd seen it spelled out a lot.

*grins*

I was surprised I'd gotten Massachusetts on only the second try...

*winks*

[hils.livejournal.com]

I didn't even think of that one so I didn't have to worry about spelling it ;)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

yeah, I probably couldn't name all the states at gunpoint, but hey, I only live here--just wanted to say I'm in love with your icon to an unhealthy degree!

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yeah, someone in the Iron Man fandom made it and as soon as I saw it I had to have it

[drbillbongo.livejournal.com]

I had 29 when I first tried, but I wasn't satisfied with it so I kept practising. XD It's really a shame how much I've forgotten since my school days. ;)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! But it tells you the answers when you finish. I'd have got more if I'd done it again too

[drbillbongo.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, but it's impossible to memorise them all within just a couple of seconds. The next time I did it, I got some of the new ones right but forgot the ones I had mentioned before. *LOL*

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee!

[supernaturalhel.livejournal.com]

Muchos icon love!!!!

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee! YAY!

[jslayeruk.livejournal.com]

I named 50 US states in 10 minutes

YAY!

(But I was a total election geek this year, so they all seeped in.)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Gah! I fail!

[smockery.livejournal.com]

That quiz was hilarious! I did pretty well, except I failed on the tiny North-Eastern states that hardly ever have any drama (Delaware, Maryland, Vermont). I hope my 4th grade teacher doesn't find out! Haha. We had to learn the states and their capitals, and since I can't remember the STATES, I'm probably in trouble! :D

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee!! I got Maryland but not the other two you mentioned

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

I got them all but because I couldn't remember how to spell Connecticut and Louisiana it said I only got 48 - those pesky spellings again! Hee!

[hils.livejournal.com]

LOL!

[dreamybritactor.livejournal.com]

I got 47, would have gotten 48, but I thought I typed in one of the states and I didn't type it in. Completely forgot Nebraska and Wyoming. I am from Pennsylvania, so I had to learn to spell it as a kid. I always asked the teacher why Pennsy couldn't have stuff like Texas. The spelling of their state and doing their state flag is easy. You think it is hard spelling Pennsylvania, try drawing a picture of our state flag.

[hils.livejournal.com]

LOL! Now I need to go and see what the flag looks like
