Can You Name All 50 States in 10 Minutes

Babette · 03-01-2007, 10:36 PM

I came across this fun site. 50 States

My time left was 8:47. I do have an advantage over most adults. I am not only a teacher, but a 5th grade teacher (you know, the year you have to learn the 50 states). I used my ABC order song to help me complete this pretty quickly. I did somehow skip the verse with the "I"s and had to go back and think about those a moment.

Have fun!

I did much better than I expected. With 6:30 left, I had 44. By 4:00 left, I had 47. I ended up with 49, but it turned out I had doubled up on deleware, so 48. I missed Maryland and Missouri. So many damned M's!

Wow. Couldn't do it. Sat here for 10 minutes and I missed SEVEN.

I don't want to go on that show and admit I'm not smarter than a fifth grader.

Missed Iowa and Minnesota and one other "M" state

5 minutes, 35 seconds.

About 4 minutes to get the first 49 and then 90 seconds of mental agony trying to realize I missed Connecticut.

OK, time me.

JWBear · 03-01-2007, 11:58 PM

I missed Illinois and Indiana. Bah!

Tref · 03-02-2007, 12:01 AM

Finished!

Yes! 10 minutes!

Wait, what was I supposed to be doing again?

I went over to Perezhilton.com and got lost in the glamour of Hollywood.

As a teacher to a fifth-grader, I know better than to go on that show. I'd get my ass kicked.
