50 States in 10 Minutes
Occasionally during downtime on a particularly slow photo shoot, I’ve played this game with my assistants. Everyone takes out a piece of paper, and numbers it from 1 to 50. Then you get 10 minutes to write down every state you can remember. Finally, you compare it to the master list and see who got the most answers. 10 minutes seems like more than enough time to remember a list of 50 items, right? And yet somehow I’ve never managed to get more than 48 of them.
Well, you don’t need to get out a piece of paper or a timer. I’ve put together an on-line version of this game. It’s a bit low-tech [see update below for high-tech version], but it works.
Have a go at it and then post your score in the comments.
Update: Thanks to reader Erik Wannebo, we now have a nifty interactive version which keeps track of your progress as you go and tallies your score for you. Check it out!

47! Man, I was so sure I’d get to 50.
Got locked up on Alabama, New Hampshire and Oklahoma. Ugh.

got all 50 with just over 3:31 remaining. We learned a song in 5th grade that I can remember enough of to get me through the states alphabetically to Ohio. It gets sketchy after that. It took me a couple minutes to remember Virginia and West Virginia. Those were my last two.

Got 50. The first 46 took ~2:30. I worked from Maine down the East Coast, then around the Appalachians, up the Mississippi, then west, and finally back into the inland West.
I started to lose track of states. It took another ~4:30 to figure out which ones I was missing: Oregon, Minnesota, Arkansas, and Nebraska.
I dropped Oregon and Minnesota because I was rushing. I had trouble with Arkansas and Nebraska because I’m just not as sure how the middle of the country lines up. I’m from the Northeast.
It would be interesting to look at patterns of how people name states.

Would be nice to have an “I’m Finished!” button.
I got 50 out of 50 with about 3 minutes to go (but I spelled Pennsylvania as ‘pennsulvania,’ unh!)
Interesting how the thought process works on something like this. I live in Alaska, so I worked my way west to east. Helped that I’ve lived on the east coast and have driven across the country several times.
I got stuck on 49… I was sure I was missing a New England state. Turns out it was Missouri. I realized that only after letting my mind wander a bit. Other than that, only Deleware came close to tripping me up.

Got all 50 with 6:30 remaining.
Took a while to get the spelling right.
From the children’s song..

D’oh… Arizona and Maine! Damn you!
Posted by: Luke Andrews | February 27, 2007 1:35 PM
Done with almost five minutes to spare. Last one was Arizona—and I used to live there!
Posted by: Kate | February 27, 2007 1:49 PM
50, with about 5:30 left. Got 49 almost as fast as I could type, then spent a lot of time figuring out which one I’d missed (Louisiana).
Posted by: Tim W. | February 27, 2007 2:07 PM
49 in 5 minutes, never got Delaware
Posted by: rob | February 27, 2007 2:17 PM
Got them all with 8:00 left. I have never been able to get that damned “50 Nifty United States” song that everyone on my generation had to learn in fifth grade out of my brain so I guess I will go to the grave being able to recite all 50 states.
Posted by: Gar | February 27, 2007 2:29 PM
I finished in 2:30 minutes. But then, I used to count the states and their capitals to go to sleep at night, so I guess you could say I’ve been practicing my whole life for this quiz.
Posted by: Chris Magyar | February 27, 2007 2:44 PM
All 4 in 8 mins!
Posted by: jamesdamian | February 27, 2007 2:44 PM
I got all 50, but it was surprisingly hard. Got to 45 in about 5 minutes (hampered mostly by my poor typing speed), and then didn’t get the last one (Alabama!) until there were about 13 seconds on the clock.
Posted by: Keith | February 27, 2007 2:57 PM
i got 46 before my time ran out, d’oh. i missed mississippi, nebraska, massachusetts, and vermont. arg! ;)
Posted by: rachael | February 27, 2007 3:08 PM
Got 49 in the first 5 minutes, and then no more…DAMN YOU UTAH!
Posted by: John | February 27, 2007 3:15 PM
Yeah, 50 Nifty United States rocks my world. It’s a great parlor trick, though.
Posted by: Michael Hessling | February 27, 2007 3:20 PM
Got all 50 with well over 5 minutes to go, but the ones I got stuck on for a bit where North & South Dakota. Weird. I went down the East coast, across the Gulf, up from Arkansas, over to the “Square States” up the West coast then back across the top of the country. I can only remember up to Delaware from 50 Nifty…
Posted by: MMJ | February 27, 2007 3:27 PM
Got all 50 with about 2 minutes left. I had 48 done in about 4 minutes. The last two to come to me were Nebraska and finally Wisconsin.
(Oh, and they were all spelled correctly too!)
Posted by: Ben Thoma | February 27, 2007 3:39 PM
Got 20. But then, I’m not a citizen of the US :-)
Posted by: Leonardo Herrera | February 27, 2007 3:53 PM
Took me 3 minutes to get the first 47. Never got the last three: Michigan, Vermont, and Deleware. Kept double-thinking myself. Very distracted this morning despite taking my pills, as evidenced by the almost complete lack of order on the states. I did the A’s alphabetically because that’s all I could remember of a chant I taught myself ages ago. Then I started roughly geographically west-to-east, but I didn’t get past New Mexico before getting distracted. After that it was a random hodge-podge of starting to fill in a region, then getting distracted by other connections (grouping the north-south states, the remaining “new” states, etc.)
I was so convinced that I was missing some great plains states that I refused to allow myself to check to see if I had all 13 of the original colonies.
I also kept distracting myself with potential gags or studies one could perform with a similar “game”. If the game was recording entries, it could be used to see which states were most often misspelled, which were most often forgotten together (I imagine nobody gets West Virginia, but not Virginia), or what order people chose. Also, if you hid a double number at a line break (e.g. a “12.” at the bottom of one line and the top of the next line) you could drive people absolutely bonkers for a few minutes trying to find the last state. I stopped myself short of checking to see if that was the case, but such ideas came more easily than the names of the three remaining states themselves.

All 50! In 3 mintues!! yay! I also learned Fifty Nifty in school. You’d be surprised how many bets i’ve won with “I bet you I can name all 50 states…in alphabetical order” Gets them everytime!
Posted by: RebeccaB | February 27, 2007 4:28 PM
LOVE this! I play this game all the time. I got all 50 in 5 minutes (probably because I’ve played often and have a strategy now).
Posted by: kat | February 27, 2007 5:04 PM
Got ‘em all with 6:39 left.
I start in Maine, go down the Eastern seaboard, do the mid-Atlantic and midwest, and then kind of do the west in a big circle. I also make sure and put down states that I know I often forget (Missouri! West Virginia!) as soon as they cross my mind.
Posted by: Steve Lawson | February 27, 2007 5:11 PM
got all 50 — first 46 in about 3 mins, then utah and Louisiana in the next 3, then with about 3 mins left got Nebraska and Missouri.
thanks this was fun! I was thinking after i started… 50 no problem i’m at 40 something with 7 mins… then at about 4 mins left i was sorta stricken with the potential embarassment of my hubris. luckily i pulled it out.
Posted by: mark | February 27, 2007 5:26 PM
Blast! I forgot Arizona, Wisconsin, and Louisiana.
Posted by: Bucky | February 27, 2007 5:31 PM
50 in 4:33. Southeast to Northwest, had to come back for Kentucky.
Posted by: James M | February 27, 2007 5:54 PM
Got stuck with 48 and two minutes to go. Then it came to me: Nevada. Mississippi. The last one with just 27 seconds left. Whew. Close one there. My hands are shaking. Need a smoke. But feeling pretty sharp. Yep. Still got it.
Posted by: Max Power | February 27, 2007 5:56 PM
I got to 44 as fast as I could type them out and I sat there for a minute. Then, Nevada, New Jersey, Utah and Missouri all came in a flash. I remembered Michigan at about the 5:00 mark. And it took another 60 seconds or so to realize I’d left out Nebraska.
Posted by: tRJ | February 27, 2007 5:58 PM
I got a 46 but overall a lot people did pretty well.
Posted by: Anonymous | February 27, 2007 7:38 PM
So much fun even though I was embarassingly at a loss for maryland, nebraska, ohio, oklahoma, and utah.
But 10 minutes is much longer than necessary. I’d gotten all I could think of when on the spot by 5:00.
Posted by: lauren | February 27, 2007 7:39 PM
I’ve tried this before, and I’m absolutely terrible… I can never seem to name all 50, even if I have hours.
It reminds me of the episode of Friends when Ross won’t eat Thanksgiving dinner until he can name all 50. Haha.
Posted by: Allie | February 27, 2007 7:58 PM
I missed 3. Missouri, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma. Three states I now hate with the searing passion of a hundred suns.
Posted by: dvg | February 27, 2007 8:14 PM
46 in 9 minutes - well 4 minutes for 44 then 5 more for the last two - all but Wyoming, Wisconsin, West Virginia (W problems apparently…) and Nebraska.
I seriously did not know there was a West Virginia. But I’m Canadian so I’ll use that excuse.
Posted by: Mike | February 27, 2007 8:43 PM
50 states in 3:23. If only I could type faster.
Posted by: Othemts | February 27, 2007 8:58 PM
I am officially annexing Utah and Kansas… sorry guys.
Posted by: Nate T. | February 27, 2007 9:22 PM
Got 47 in two minutes, 2 more (Missouri and West Virginia) after another three. And then stumped. Never did figure out Massachusetts. Even asked the girlfriend to help with only four minutes to go, and she couldn’t get it. How is this possible?
Posted by: YLlama | February 27, 2007 10:17 PM
I had a coworker that did this to stay awake in meetings.
I thought I had it in 5:21, but I had counted Colorado and Arkansas twice and missed Minnesota and Oklahoma.
I’ll beat this yet.
Posted by: yellojkt | February 27, 2007 10:18 PM
42…all the states in middle just a blur.
Posted by: jhayne | February 27, 2007 11:58 PM
Got 49 - I forgot about Louisiana! (Maybe there’s a place for me in the gov’t.)
Posted by: ken | February 28, 2007 12:37 AM
I got 49/50, forgetting only Iowa. I always did get muddled in that section of the “fifty nifty” states song from elementary school.
Posted by: sarae | February 28, 2007 12:47 AM
I got all 50 in about 2:30. I, too, have “Fifty Nifty United States” permanently ingrained in my consciousness. “Scout ‘em, shout ‘em, tell all about ‘em, one by one till weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiEEEEEEEEEEEE make it stop!” Ahem. I wonder how many of us could name the 13 original colonies referenced in the song. I can’t.
I would have had all 50 in about two minutes except that I forgot to include Illinois in my alphabetical list (and I was born there); had to go back and see what I’d missed. Blast.
Posted by: MarkDM | February 28, 2007 12:58 AM
Oh, and sarae, I blame the song for your forgetting Iowa. In “Fifty Nifty,” it’s pronounced “Ioway,” which isn’t even a real word, much less the name of a state.
Posted by: MarkDM | February 28, 2007 1:01 AM
I got 49 with 7:05 left, and it took me another 6 minutes to remember New Jersey.
Posted by: Fred | February 28, 2007 1:01 AM
I only forgot New York.
Posted by: Paul | February 28, 2007 1:48 AM
47; I missed Delaware, Colorado, and Maryland.
Posted by: jacob | February 28, 2007 4:18 AM
49 of 50. I had the 49 done with 7 minutes to go and I had to wait it out for the missing state: Wisconsin.
I went systematically state by state starting at Washington. I don’t know how you could do it if you don’t do it methodically.
Lousy Wisconsin.
Posted by: Bill | February 28, 2007 8:38 AM
47 in 2:30, Utah a couple minutes later, complete blank on the Carolinas.
Posted by: Randy | February 28, 2007 9:37 AM
49. Missed New Hampshire, even with all the talk of the upcoming primaries.
And I almost forgot New Jersey, which is only about three miles from where I’m sitting.
Assuming people are being honest, I’d love to know which states are the most easily forgotten.
Posted by: Adam | February 28, 2007 10:34 AM
I also learned a song…but it’s the states set to “Turkey in the Straw.” Will die with that song in my head.
Posted by: emily | February 28, 2007 11:11 AM
I start alphabetically and then regionally and try and fill in from there.
I got 43. I Missed Indiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island and Wyoming.
I wonder what the most frequently missed state is?
Posted by: Deborah | February 28, 2007 12:25 PM
I got 49 in about 3 minutes, and then remembered Illinois with about 30 seconds left. I think it helps that I’ve been to most states and lived in three major areas (the South, New England and the West). I started on the left with Alaska and Hawaii, and then went in sort of a squiggle pattern, which fell apart around Minnesota.
Posted by: Alex | February 28, 2007 12:38 PM
Oh, songs and jokes helped too:
What did Delaware?
Her New Jersey.
Bee Gees - Massachusetts
Springsteen album Nebraska
Billy Joel - Billy the Kid (West Virginia)
Dang that miss-iss-ippi though.
Posted by: Deborah | February 28, 2007 12:39 PM
so close. 48. forgot Texas and Nebraska
Posted by: Maria Santos | February 28, 2007 2:58 PM
I missed Minnesota. I went in alphabetical order, and somehow I know how many states begin with each letter (4A, 3C, 1D). I always forget Minnesota because I think there’s only 7 M states, for some reason.
Posted by: Shell | February 28, 2007 3:00 PM
All 50 in 3 minutes, 6 seconds. Damn Wyoming cost me about the last 30 seconds.

All 50 in 1:17. I know no songs or other memory aids.

50 with 4:45 left. Arkansas nearly got me.
Posted by: JP | February 28, 2007 3:17 PM
Got all 50 with 6:00+ left.
Now do one where you name all the U.S. Presidents.
Posted by: Rance | February 28, 2007 3:17 PM
I managed 30 before my brain ran out of options. I don’t think this is bad considering I’m a Brit. I got another 13 by coming back here and scooping up your leftovers. The rest I gave up on.
I now challenge you to name every county in England :-)

Posted by: Tony | February 28, 2007 3:19 PM
I got them all, though it took me most of the allotted time. I got 48 of them with 7 minutes to go, and it took me 3 or 4 minutes to remember Missouri, and a couple more after that to remember Minnesota.
Posted by: Jared | February 28, 2007 3:20 PM
50 states with 8 minutes to go. Give me a hard quiz.
Posted by: Tom | February 28, 2007 3:22 PM
Is it sad that I live in New York and forgot New Jersey? To my credit, I grew up on the West Coast (you guys have too many small ones out here!) and who can keep all of the M’s & I’s straight! Minnesota, Missourri, Illinois, Indiana, etc. None of them are worth much more than driving through.
I blame my teachers for never teaching me this damn song everyone seems to love.
Posted by: Exposed | February 28, 2007 3:23 PM
Got them all with 18 seconds to spare. How did I almost forget Louisiana?? Got 47 in the first 3 minutes - Oregon and Iowa came slowly.
Just about every time I try this I forget Utah, so the state finally must’ve done something memorable.
Posted by: KS | February 28, 2007 3:30 PM
46, 4 thanks to my State quarters collection. :-)
I missed Nebraska, New Hampshire, Wyoming and some other state.

Posted by: JC | February 28, 2007 3:55 PM
I’m too good at this game. All 50 done, in alpahbetical order, spelled correctly, with 7:25 remaining on the clock. That stupid song is about the only thing I remember from the 6th grade.

Got 48 in about 3 mins and then it took me another 2 mins to remember Alaska and Hawaii. I started in CA and went up the coast, around the top, down the eastern seaboard, along the bottom, through the states where I’ve been skiing, and then thought of the schools in the Big 10, Big 12 and SEC.
Posted by: Allan | February 28, 2007 4:55 PM
Missed New Jersey and Connecticut … I think it’s because I’m a Westerner and I live in NYC. Everything around this city is just one big suburban clusterfuck to me.

All 50 with 1:03 to spare. Got 40 something in about 3 minutes and then the last 50 or so took forever! The last one took a minute and a half at least.
Damn that Idaho!
I could do most (not all) capitals and maybe 25 presidents (just last names).

Got to 40 in about 2 or 3 minutes, while simultaneously fighting with my wife. She demanded I step away from the computer, so I did and we continued fighting for six more minutes. I came back and got 7 more, for a total of 47.

Posted by: Jodiddly | March 1, 2007 12:43 AM
I got 49/50.
Now, one to remember the states and the capitols, that would be insane.
Posted by: Thomas | March 1, 2007 2:37 AM
Rockapella (the guys who sang the “Where In The World is Carmen Sandiego” song) have a song called “Capital” which has 49 of the capitals, plus the refrain. At the end, the “producer” screams, barely audibly, “Oh no! Pi-erre! Pi-erre! We forgot Pi-erre! Aaaaaaaauuuuuuuuugh!!!!!”

I remembered the ones I did by reference to popular songs or my favourite bands, ie Motor City=Detroit=Michigan, Sufjan Stevens=Illinois, Bon Jovi=New Jersey (OK, I hate Bon Jovi, but you get the idea).

Oh my goodness - only 42!!! I always think I’m so smart, but apparently not!
Posted by: Sharon | March 1, 2007 10:44 AM
Only got 48. Maryland and Wyoming tripped me up. Being a west coast girl I had a hard time with all those teeny states in the east. And Wyoming just slipped through; somehow I didn’t cross it when mentally scanning the map. Oh why oh why Wyoming.
Posted by: Shana | March 1, 2007 10:50 AM
Got all 50 in 2:56 (7:04 remaining). Did it west to east. Took an extra 10 seconds for the last one (Georgia).

40… And I was certain that Rhode Island wasn’t a state.

I had 49 with about 2 minutes left, and wouldn’t give up. I finally remembered Wyoming with 2 seconds left but couldn’t type it in. :( Who lives in Wyoming anyways?? :D

46. Indiana, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin obviously do not deserve to be states.
