Try this test to see how many of the 50 United States you can name in 10 minutes and report back! I'll tell you how I did in the comments section. No peeking until after you take the test!

Ok, I can do this one - all 50 and in alphabetical order, to boot. Honest!

The trick? A song we learned in elementary school chorus, naming the states in order. Great bar trick - just 'say' instead of sing! It's hilarious to watch people try to count as you go (add dramatic effect by pausing and pretending to concentrate LOL) - I've won a few bets.

0 states remain
(I got the 'You Did It!' message box)
Ok, not as fast as I thought (I'm a crap speller lol) and it takes longer to type 'em out than to rattle 'em off!

Thanks for the fiftyniftysong, Jennifer. Wish I had the tune. I'm going to try my best to learn it the song. I want to get the "You Did It" message box, too!
