50/50 in 3 min. 11 seconds

 

[ursusminor]

Yup. 2 min 19 seconds. I noticed that Connecticut is at the bottom of the list of states that people correctly answer, which I figure is because people can't spell it.

My time expired. I got stuck on Catatonic.

50/50 in 3:15. I need to type faster. It'd be more of a challenge if they didn't provide a blank map of the states. It'd be more fun to draw the map in your head and name the states that way.

That's not a state, it's a river between Stratford and Milford.

This was going to be easy. In 11th grade American History, Mr. Jacobs gave a test with a blank map of the states. We had to take it once a week until everyone filled in at least 80% of the states and the capitals right. This was going to be a cinch. I started in Maine and roosterily worked my way south and west. I got to 49 states in a little under five minutes. I thought I was done, but the test said I missed one. I looked and looked at the map and couldn't figure out what I was missing. The map seemed full. I concentrated on the crowded Boston to DC corridor, figuring there was a small state that I missed. Nothing. I said to myself it's something here between Boston and DC. Again nothing. I reviewed, Delmarva Peninsula -- yup I've got all those. With a few seconds left, I said Boston to myself again and realized I left out Massachusetts. Mass-a-freaking-chusetts. Of course there was no way I could spell it correctly under the gun.

50/50 in 6:00, WITH 2 FINGERS!! My normal typing mode.
ps. upon further review my comprehension skills are slipping too... the timer said 6:00, but that meant 4:00 to do the test. I'm much better than I thought I was. ;^)

That's a state of mind.

I remember back in the day how many people didn't know all the states. My dad being a history buff made us all complete blank maps all the time... I did the same to my boys lol

I'm more surprised at Massachusetts being so low on the list... It is interesting though :0)

Too funny! I thought you were going to say RI

 

[VAUConnFan]

5:02. Was stuck on 48 seemingly forever. Then moved the cursor down to expose more of the map. Oops!

 

[meyers7]

3:00. I can't type very fast on a laptop. Need my work keyboard.

 

[~*Jen*~]

2:18

 

[Buzzyboy]

3:06 and I'm a pretty fast typist. I didn't struggle on any of them and so I'm stunned that someone could actually input the info in just over two minutes.

 

[Jaydub]

50 of 50 in 3:35. At first I didn't know what I was supposed to do. Then I didn't know how to spell Tennessee and Massachusetts. Maybe I'll be quicker next time.

 

[RadyLady]

50 in 3:34 - I am a terrible speller, and I got stuck on Massachusetts (as I always seem to do)

I just looked at the map, started from left to right, top to bottom and named them all. You don't have to press enter when you are done typing a name cause it just uploads it. Easy peasy.

Thanks for posting this DC. It was fun! Now we should find one with the state capitals!

Capitals

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

I did the Capitals one. Missed 6, including 2 that I have actually been in. Just drawing blanks. Yikes.

 

[DaddyChoc]

you could "right click" on what your spelling is... to correct it BUT would that be cheating?
