50 states and 10 minutes. I've got to say, I aced the Europe test, and screwed up this one, I got 20/50, and they call the Ameicans ignorant Anyway...

Yippee, I got 43 out of 50. Approve
 
Did a better job than at  the European test, where I got only 37 out of 49. But well, with the American test you get 10 minutes. On the other hand, you don't see a map at the American test. Oh well... funny to see that the American test went better than the European test Shocked

It's a matter of having an uncontrollably good memory - I involuntarily remember things that other people don't even register. Always had that - very useful when playing games like this. And in this case it helps that I really enjoyed topography as a kid - on sundays I would sit at the kitchen table with my grandmothers Atlas, travelling all the maps in my mind.

Oregano isn't an American state according to that site Confused
 
I think i had some 20, but could have easily been more if only I knew more US states.
 
Now add the capitals of the different states and you get a cookie.
 
Of course the capital is just the first letter in a slightly larger format, so if the states are given i know them allCool

I got them all, but since I live in the United States, that isn't much of an accomplishment LOL

It would have been easier with a map though...
