    I forgot New Jersey. I'm sure everyone wishes they did too.

    did it by 7:19 left with the help of the song (did the song have lyrics? i just remember the lyrics being all 50 state names in a sing-songy manner, no intro lyrics. maybe it was a different song). i can say them all in under 20 seconds but typing them kept getting me off track so i had to go back and get a few i missed going through the alphabet.

    What is this song everyone's talking about? Schoolhouse Rock?

    I just go geographically from Maine to Florida, fill in the gaps between the east coast and the MS River, then cover the West, which is easy because I've been everywhere man. (Except ND and Nebraska.)

    Got them all with 5:26 left. I spent about 2 minutes trying to figure out the last two I skipped. (Georgia and Massachusetts for some reason)

    Got 'em all with over three minutes left. Would've done better but it took me a minute to figure out the right way to spell Massachusetts. :eek:

    I just went up and down across the country in my mind, linsting the states as if they were lined up in rows (Washington, Oregon, California....Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine).
