Too easy, drill sergeant, too easy.

I named 50 US states in 10 minutes

It was actually five minutes and thirty-one seconds, although I got all of them but three in under two minutes. I got stuck on Michigan, although what saved me was that I remembered there's eight states that begin with M.

Now try putting the states where they're supposed to go.

I put the states on the map in 141 seconds with an average error of 2mi. :D

It must be the M's. I got 49 of them in 3 minutes, then it took 2 minutes to remember Massachusetts. I'm glad I live in a country with only 6 states (plus territories!)

I got them all in 2 minutes because of my obsessive stalking of electoral politics. I can go across the entire country in order mentally :D

*snickers* Yeah, that's how I got them, too. I started at Maine and worked my way west in my head. :)

I only got 36 :( *fails at being neighbourly*

I can, however, name all 13 Canadian provinces/territories, in about 15 seconds.

And tell you an absurd amount of information about a Canadian address based on the postal code.

Still, 36 is better than what I would've gotten before starting a job where all I do is look at addresses all day. And, hell, when I was a kid I used to think New England was a state (in my defence, my reasoning was that they have a sports team, and only cities/provinces/states have sports teams, so therefore...)

my time on the naming quiz would have been better if i didn't have perpetual problems spelling massachusetts and mississippi correctly. i only did it properly now because i ended up having to look up their spellings to finish the quiz.

the map games sounds like it'll be fun; thanks for the link!

I can get all fifty because in fifth grade I memorized them in alphabetical order.

Actually, Heritage Trail (musical when everyone was in 5th grade) taught me a song to remember all 50.

Now, spelling them all properly or remembering where all of them are exactly is another thing.

I was forgetting an M one too - actually two. Maryland and Montana!
