I had some spelling issues with a couple of those new england states, and forgot about Maryland completely. I also wish they wouldn't reorder the states from the way we enter them. I don't normally list the states by aphabetical order. I do so by region, and trying to figure out which state I missed was not easy.

got it w/5:26 left on the timer. I couldn't remember Illinois, and Maryland took me a long time.

Got 46 out of 50. I cannot believe I could not think of Michigan and Nebraska, if I would have thought of the Spartans it would have helped. Missed Minnesota also and I believe Montana. So that was good for me.

On that show, "So you think You're Smarter than a 5th Grader," I remember the host asking the question, "How many states of the USA touch the Pacific Ocean?" The lady embarassingly said, "two," then changed her answer to "three," and was thinking outloud about Nevada. :funn:"Yes, three is my answer." :floor:You could see the cringes on the faces of the third graders, all across America.

I had trouble spelling Massachusetts. Kept leaving the second "t" off! :bang:
Finally got it and then I used up so much time on that, I got panicked and forgot our two newest states. If I'd have thought about the states touching the Pacific, I woulda remembered 'em. :bang:
