I got typed them all with 7:49 left. And in alphabetical order! Anybody who ever learned the "50 Nifty United States" song gets to cheat on this one.

(Of course, I guess it's not really cheating since, in essence, we did learn and remember them when we were young. But still.)

Fifty nifty United States from thirteen original colonies! Shout 'em, spout 'em, tell all about 'em, one by one...

3 minutes exactly and also in alphabetical order.

Yes! The Fifty Nifty United States song. Ah, 6th grade did teach me something after all.

Fifty, nifty stars in the flag that billows so beautifully in the breeze...

That's how I did it.

The lyrics are a little different in the final verse, but that is the one we sang for our assembly last year. Careful, it will drive you insane after awhile.

That is the song Brigitte, but as far as I know, it is not Schoolhouse Rock.

I do it in clusters, geographically. I get jumbled in the middle sometimes, but we've played this on road trips to pass time. Name all the states, then find license plates from them.

I got all of them in 5:50, wish there were an "I'm done" button though.

Bloody Arkansas!!!


(actually, at 4:06 elapsed, I had named 47. It took me till the two minute mark to realize Alaska and Hawaii were never going to appear on my mental map of the "lower 48" that I kept scanning in my head. Turns out Arkansas' not there in my head ... and maybe that's a good thing.)

I was actually doing pretty well- I had 4 states to go at 4:30 mins, but I got hung up on spelling Massachusetts and then decided a glass of wine was a more attractive alternative.
