A doddle for the US members but not so easy for the rest of us.

I did better than I thought I would- I only missed two (apologies to residents of Maryland and Wyoming).

Missed Mississippi!

Have three Fosters and try to say that quickly.

No thanks. I am relieved that I shall not have to drink it .

I missed two as well - but I would have only missed one (Illinois) if I'd known how to spell Connecticut (where on earth did that second C come from ).

Forgot Utah . And almost forgot Hawaii but managed to remember it in the last 12 seconds .

I can thank the "Hangman" game for that - I've played the US States category for months in row .

Egads . I live here and I missed 4 (Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Wisconsin). Pitiful indeed!

Sigh. I can't spell Connecticut either, wajo. And as far as Illinois and Rhode Island go - well, all I can do is apologize.

I don't think that our American friends should feel too bad. UK is far smaller but I'll bet that few can name every county in England let alone those in Scotland and Wales.

Oh, dear, I feel so silly - Alaska and Hawaii.....

I did it! (but spent the last minute thinking frantically until finally remembering Arkansas - sorry, kstew)

ugh - I missed twelve of them! There was a couple that I knew but couldn't spell, like Massablahblah - I had no idea. And Colorado - never knew that was a state

I missed four states. Darn you New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Kansas and Iowa!

Massablahblah, is that one of the ones in New England?

Edit: And just so you can all point and laugh, I was down to 1 minute 30 seconds before I remembered Pennsylvania.

Delaware, Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico missing.

I drew a blank. I've been to almost all the states in the Union and lived in seven of them so, I should have known this.

My grandmother was born in Colorado so I cannot forget that.

I got it all with 6:11 to spare. I can't believe it myself!

I had 7:44 left. It's been 18 years since I've had to do anything like that!

I managed to get them all. I spent like the last 2:44 trying to remember Iowa (got it with 26 seconds left. Whew!)

I forgot:Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, Wisconsin and spelling caused the loss of Massachusetts.

Tojan, that wouldn't be fair, they keep renaming them. I could probably have done it with those which were there when I was at school, provided you told me how many counties there were.

Now I wouldn't stand a chance with all the new names and combinations.

Had 7:57 left on the clock, but I live here and that is something that we had to learn--in alphabetical order--in the 5th grade. We had to put on our annual show for our parents and that was one of the songs we had to sing.

I'm British and I got them all - with 4.30 minutes to spare! Struggled to remember my final 2 - Nebraska and Iowa.
But agree with Trojan, I would have far more problems trying to remember all the counties in England, and definitely could not name those in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

Gats, do not feel bad at all...I missed: Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon.

Yes, I know, very disgraceful. However, there is a plus side to it...I took it a second time and got them all in with 2 minutes left.
