I ran across this and found it quite fun to see how fast I could do it. http://www.ironicsans.com/state22.html"You have 10 Minutes to remember as many of the 50 United States as you can. After 10 Minutes, the correct answers will appear in this space so you can see which ones you've missed." The first time I tried it I got 46 in 6 minutes and ended up with 49. Earlier tonight:

I can name all 50 states in alphabetical order in less than a minute because of a song that I learned in grade school.

Guess I suck, I had 48 in around 6 minutes, spent a good amount of time wasted spelling Massechu... and connecticut(never realized there was that first C) But I ended up forgetting Kansas and Arkansas.

I couldn't spell Missouri or Massachusetts. Connecticut I always remember as connect-i-cut.

I forgot about Alaska and Rhode Island. It looks like some people need to go back to 3rd grade and learn how to spell!

How could you??
I got 49 with 6 minutes and change remaining, and then couldn't figured out what I missed. I skipped right over Louisiana, and got it with 3:46 remaining.
Now where is the one with state capitols?

I had all but four of them with 5:30 left. The last four I had to go through a map in my head. I had forgotten Utah, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. (sad thing is, I've visited 3 of the 4 states I had forgotten).
And I was going through the same song christyk mentioned, but haven't sung it in so long, I had forgotten some of it. LOL

Sorry Petey, but when it comes to Presidents (especially naming them in order), I am king.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

This game is crap.
Everyone knows there are 57 states.
I finished with 4:39 on the clock because I couldn't spell Connecticut.

Petey and President, here ya go: Can you name all the presidents in 8 minutes? They don't have to be in order and according to the webpage "for this exercise, enter either last name or first and last name. For surnames shared by multiple presidents, we'll need the first and last names. And in cases where both the first and last names are the same, include the younger President's middle initial or name."
