I don't know if this helps anyone, but the states with the most borders are Tennessee (8), Missouri (8), Colorado (7), and Kentucky (7). Of course, Tennessee, Missouri, and Kentucky all border each other, so you can only use one of them because that will fill in the others :(

Dec 9, 2017

QM, any reason why on your countries quiz, if I type (say) France, the countries around it will go green, but if i then type Spain, which borders france, it is accepted, whereas on here if I type a state that borders another that I have already typed it isn't?

Quite frustrating, especially for us non Americans who may well know all the states names but can't instantly place them on the map.

+1

Level 67

Dec 9, 2017

If the state or country gives you any more than you already had it will be accepted (presumably on the other quiz you hadn't filled in Portugal and/or Morocco, so Spain was still allowed to fill them in).

For instance, if you have already typed New Hampshire Maine will not be accepted, but you can type Maine then New Hampshire, and New Hampshire will fill in Vermont and Massachusetts.

Level 71

Mar 8, 2018

I do not think that this quiz should be necessary for the 'Border Badge' as it is nothing to do with knowledge and all to do with typing. It gives professional / amateur typists an unfair advantage and is a case of using a given list of states to get through in time. This quiz should be part of the 'Typing Badge'.

+1

Level 66

May 28, 2019

I very much agree, this is not about knowledge but typing and strategy. And would fit better under another type of badge. I finished this quiz by working out a strategy, but I still couldnt tell you exactly where each state is...

Level 52

Mar 31, 2018

Here's a tip: NEVER use New Hampshire! Never! You MUST do either New Hampshire or Maine in order to get Maine. Which one is shorter? And I highly recommend using Massachusetts. It's long, granted, but it gives you a bunch of other long ones, so it works. I tried Maine, Vermont, New York only to realize that didn't give me Rhode Island. Maine and Massachusetts is the way to go.

+1

Level 66

May 28, 2019

I disagree with everything you said there.

+1

Level 66

May 28, 2019

New hampshire and connecticut gives the exact same as maine and Massachusetts. I can type new hampshire and connecticut under 4 seconds (3.5 but more often 3.9). Maine is about 1.5 seconds. so that would leave 2.5 for Massachusetts .. I cant even type it in 2,5 mins, and probably not 2.5 hours... but even if i type something similar like masasusets it is not faster.

there is no point leaving new hampshire out whatsoever or putting masschusetts in, there are many reasons though for leaving it out ( your computer doesnt get thrown out of the window for one thing.., there wont be a divorce, all plates will stay whole, you dont need to get the cat down from the ceiling, etc)

+1

Level 66

Gotten up to fifteen seconds left, here's how: Ohio, Iowa, Oregon, Georgia, Alaska, Hawaii, New York, Rhode Island or Connecticut--doesn't matter, both for RI, both have eleven letters, and it doesn't count spaces--Maine, Montana. Covers all of them, uses the shortest state names available with the highest impact relative to the time it takes to type them. Wouldn't work if CO and AZ weren't considered touching tho.

This is a great quiz but seriously marred by the time element. I strongly agree with those above who recommend a further 15 seconds at least. Even after memorising the shortest alternative solution helpfully offered by many above, it still took me 16 attempts to get the lot, and even that was by typing and copying Massachusetts before I started and then pressing ctrl v . This reduces it to a mere speed typing exercise rather than any test of knowledge of the US States.

For those of us of a certain, ah, age...that did NOT grow up playing video games or spending all day texting on smart phones, AND never had a chance to learn "touch typing" {and even ignoring a personal issue with hereditary peripheral neuropathy}, .. this (and the related world quiz) are a virtual impossibility. Tried. Dozens of times. Best was 42. With a decent strategy, too (the body may be old, but I did get B.S. in Math at college in early 70's and the mind can still put my topology principles to good use). Thus, I join the chorus of badge-seekers who humbly beg for elimination or reduction in factors adverse to those with physical limitations. This should also include elimination of time constraints for those participating with audio assistance (due to blindness or other visual limits), those who can't use a traditional keyboard or use two hands to type. In reality, such ADA-like accommodations should affect only a small % of users and would help level the playing field. Thanks!
