Let me know what you think about the time. It’s shorter right now to discourage typing all the states, but I can increase significantly and change to yellow box if you’d rather. Or maybe just make a second quiz.

Fun quiz! I wouldn't add more time--if anything, I'd reduce it. I did all those I knew/could probably tell (probably about two thirds of them), but then still had plenty of time to guess pretty much every other state to get all the remainders.

What a wonderful idea for a quiz! I'd suggest making it a yellow box quiz to discourage random guessing of all the states. I'm hoping this one gets featured.

I agree with PapaFurchetta, as I guessed all the ones I didn't know in time to ace the quiz after getting around 15-17 from my own knowledge. Fun quiz!

Alright. Time increased, and changed to yellow box. Let me know if the time seems sufficient.

Missed 3 but had plenty of time to guess several states. I would leave it where it is right now.
