Missed Rhode Island and Wyoming.

Not too bad considering those are among the least important or thought of states.

Yes, especially since the average American would probably miss at least 8 out of the ten provinces in Canada and, not only that, you probably scored higher than the average American on this quiz.

I got all 50...as well as the 8 Canadian "states"

Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland

wow.... I managed to find 10 "Canadian States" Smile

Am I an overachiever or what?

And notice how I intentionally forgot some of the greatest provinces, such as the Yukon Klondike, Northwest Passage Territories, and of course the most populous of the Canadian Proto-States, Nunavut.

Not too mention he exiled states of South Florida and Hagwonia Korea, but they don't have representation in the Canadian House of Reprentatives and cannot currently vote for the President, Canadian, or American, c'est vrai?

So, who you calling ignorant again?

West Virginia is just a rebel province of Virginia, so I don't really count it.

This thing stressed me out way more than it had any right to. I got 48 states in about 3 minutes, then spent the remaining 7 tearing my hair out. The two I forgot: Arkansas and Idaho. They barely count as states anyway. Pssh.

If you're from the States, there's no excuse for not getting all of them save ignorance and/or sheer stupidity.

Why wouldn't an American univeristy degree holder not be able to get all of the States in ten minutes? If you didn't, yer purty fkn stoopid.

Got them all, but it took 9 and a half minutes to spell Massachusetts correctly. Still remembering the 50 State Song from elementary school helped.
