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 65

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 67

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...

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 67

May 28, 2019

I disagree with everything you said there.

+1

Level 67

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)

This tests the ability to memorise a series of about 12 states and type them as fast as possible. It's not a test of knowledge, so I suggest that it's hardly worthy of this august quiz site.

This is not right. Why is this quiz on the border badge? This mostly tests out the typing speed. I mean, I think that this game is more about luck than skill, which is NOT right. >:(

May 28, 2020

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.

There's another quiz for testing your knowledge of the US States - the whole point of this one is about the time element and fast typing.

This is the best strategy for the fewest number of characters if you spell everything correctly:

(88 characters)

I was surprised about Massachusetts and Delaware but after a few hours of logic this was the solution I found. States are listed roughly in the order I worked out that they needed to be present.
