USA State Capitals Quiz

100% correct with 3:19 remaining.

Great quiz. Love the geography ones.

Thanks. I like to compete against myself and try to improve. 3:22.

me too

Wow, I got about half the US capitals. It's usually not the biggest city in the state, but the most central.

That's why a lot of folks miss California, Texas, New York, and Florida. Their capitals aren't the most famous cities.

I'm taken this quiz four times, gotten 100 each time. This time, I ran out of time! WHY!

100% correct, but it took me till 1:25 left...i need to improve

From an outsiders perspective (Australian) it's hilarious that apart from 4 your State capitals bare no significance to the rest of the world (ie no one thinks of them as cities)

I'd be curious as to which 4 you count as significant. I'd count about 10 that are internationally relevant. However, if capitals should be the most significant city, why isn't Sydney the capital of Australia?

Denver, Atlanta, Boston, Phoenix would be the 4 that count to an outsider.... Im an Aussie too, and despite getting 100%, these are the only 4 that would be internationally recognised and known.

Interesting, I would have thought Honolulu would have been seen as more relevant than Denver at least, and Sacramento above Phoenix.

Phoenix, Sacramento, Denver, Atlanta, Honolulu, Indianapolis, Baton Rouge, Boston, Jackson, Albany, Columbus, Oklahoma City, Providence, Nashville, Austin, Salt Lake City, and Richmond are all pretty relevant. In addition to being state capitals (which has nothing to do with size or relevance anyway and is mostly to do with central location), each of these cities are either huge population centers or significant historically, culturally, or in terms of commerce. Regardless of where you were born you ought to know these cities. I would happily forgive you not knowing any of the others.

sort of like Canberra?

50!

got it with :25 left! whooooooooooooooooooo finally

1:00 left!!!!!!

1:36!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@SJESQ I agree, even though I live in the USA

Complete at 2:35

good

Hopefully I get away with 19/50 since I'm Australian >.>

3:36 left. i can beat it.

i sucked!!!!!!!! 30/50

beat the heat.

that is ok

2:20 left!

49/50 with 1:04 left and couldn't remember Jefferson City !

2:50 left..ehh

I never learned the state capitals in school. I could sing the states in ABC order, but they never taught us how to remember capitals. :(

I think For Jefferson city, Jeff city should be accepted. That's what everyone called it back when I lived in Missouri.

How could I miss three!?

22/50 and I'm an Aussie. I really need to stop watching american tv.

being american and living in germany the past 2 years, I can say the 20-somethings in europe know most US states and capitals...so SJESQ I guess australia is a little slow.

Couldn't spell Cheyenne or Montpelier....

46/50. Not bad for my age, really.

100% with 1:19 to spare

the most depressing quiz yet. I once knew all of these (had to for school). I promise to study :(

SJESQ- um, interesting yes, hilarious- not as much as creating a city in the middle of nowhere on a manmade lake to be your capital to ease tensions between Sydney and Melbourne. And I'm Australian :)

This is my first comment in the site. I want to thank you so much for your great efforts and this wonderful site,really my level in Geography make a breakthrough after entering this site. Thank you so much,from Egypt.

100% with 2:12 left. I'll take it!

15 seconds to spare - nearly forgot Pierre

got all 50

Loved it!! Really good - and the time was tight enough to make you sweat!

100% with 1:46 left!

Only got 13, knew lots of towns and cities but not which ones were the state capitals!

I'm 12 and got 50/50 is that good?

I'm 12 got 50/50 with 2:19 minutes to spare

Nice - I'm also 12 and only got 20, I hope being British makes up (and getting 100% with States in 2 Minutes and 100% with 5 minutes left on the Jetpunk Countries of the World?) haha, well done!

Great job to all those who aren't Americans. To all Americans who didn't pass, SHAME ON YOU!

I'm originally from the U.S., and back in 5th grade I had all of these memorized, but nowadays I actually do better on the world capitals quiz than this one.

2:22 and I´m German ! What about that ??

We need a map please,,it ill be easier!!!! =)

Wow, I missed Concord, NH! :( The capitals were originally selected to be located centrally in the state. (Same for Washington DC, at the time it was centrally located in the US). Rather than in the most populous city

Got one.

100%

only 2 wrong; vermont and south dakota

Missed North Carolina and Wyoming only because I couldn't spell.

Haha, I got west Virginia because I thought the capital of south Carolina was Charleston ;)
