This is EXACTLY how I filled it out. Though it has always driven me crazy that they mispronounced Pierre. (The capital of South Dakota is pronounced "pier", to rhyme with "fear".)

Very good! I got all of them with 3 minutes left, and I'm not American (though I'd say most Americans wouldn't be able to name all of them)

I learned all this 3 years ago, and haven't touched it since. Decided to try it again now for fun because I just learned all the countries and I've been trying to find another challenge, but I learned it all again in like 15 minutes and got 100/100. Next, I'm going continent by continent to learn all 196 capitals of each country. Wish me luck :)

I'm amazed at the percentages of correct answers. I guess most people who took this quiz are American because even with fairly decent geography knowledge many of the state capitals were super difficult to guess as a European.
