Can you pass the third grade?
A fun flash for the day. I managed to get it on the first try, but I was pushing my time limit. Link from Ken.

I know roughly where some states are but others I haven't a clue. And those northeastern states are so darn small... why can't they merge together or something?
Rick said on 04/15/04 @ 07:56 AM: Took me twice. The first time I had two left, and was in the middle of dragging one of them. I guess i am not a very good 3rd grader.
TEA said on 05/07/04 @ 09:35 AM: I, a high-school graduate, got 11 while my brother in 7th grade got 21. I dunno.
Kristin said on 05/13/04 @ 09:46 AM: I like to think that I am somewhat of a smart person, but after taking this quiz, I feel like a total moron!
Sqube said on 06/17/04 @ 04:45 PM: I'm positive that I knew them all in the 3rd grade. However... I'm in college now! I'm not expected to know the obvious things, I'm supposed to be deep in esoteric knowledge so I can look up one day and realize that I'm 35 with practically no working knowledge of how the world really is.
... or something like that. I got it the second time though. The northeastern states weren't such a problem for me, but the midwest definitely needs to be consolidated into one big state. There's, what, 23 people in Montana? The only people in Kansas play for the Jayhawks. So on and so forth.
Michelle said on 06/20/04 @ 09:40 AM: Got all of them with time left over. Always was good at geography.
Mike said on 01/26/05 @ 06:01 PM: I used to think Texas was next to California...
Nino said on 02/09/05 @ 01:59 PM: Can someone send me a link to this test. Someone had emailed it to me but I seem to have lost the link.

Thank you
Emma said on 04/07/05 @ 01:22 AM: I got them al the first time, and I'm from England...year 10 (9th grade)
Christine said on 08/06/05 @ 09:01 AM: I got about 20 right the first time. it took my mother and myself to put them all together. i am in college and i still don't know where all the states go. i don't think my third grade teacher put much emphasis on learning them since she probably thought that we would never leave our small town!
Amanda said on 10/30/06 @ 02:25 PM: I got all of them right on my like 6th try :)
