I named them all, can you?
Occasionally during downtime on a particularly slow photo shoot, I’ve played this game with my assistants. Everyone takes out a piece of paper, and numbers it from 1 to 50. Then you get 10 minutes to write down every state you can remember. Finally, you compare it to the master list and see who got the most answers. 10 minutes seems like more than enough time to remember a list of 50 items, right? And yet somehow I’ve never managed to get more than 48 of them. ~Ironic Sans
Ironic Sans put up the challenge and I took it. I got the last one (duh!) with 1:03 to spare. I even challenged my husband. Right now he is at 9 with 5:45 left. I think it took me 3 minutes to get the last 2. How well will you do?
Edit: He missed three!
I can name the fifty states in alphabetical order in 19 seconds.
No alphabetical order for me. New England, Mid-Atlantic… when I was younger I would go south, but now I cross the midwest, come back down the Mississippi, border, south. Then Mountain, north to south, and 5 on the Pacific. I just timed about 2 and a half minutes
