[+3] - farmerman - 09/27/2008This used to be a barroom bet. I learned to do it by picturing a map of the lower 48, transiting from New England and going East to West. Its not difficult (especially when drinks were at stake)
[+3] - JPB - 09/27/2008I tried a number of different shorthands N. or No for North but you have to peck out each and every single letter for each and every state. 'Twas a mission, I tell ya!

@Victor Murphy,

I got 46. Drew a blank on Delaware, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.

Darn W's. I had 6 minutes left to get the last two. Wisconsin came to me a few minutes later. Washington? Who goes there?

I got 49 quickly and could not think of the 50th. Kept working rows of states in my head. I missed Hawaii.

@Victor Murphy,

That was frustrating. I named all but one state in five minutes and then sat here for another 5 trying to figure out which one I'd forgotten. I even knew what part of the country it was in. Nebraska, grrr.

You forgot:Arkansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska,

I didn't forget them. I couldn't spell FRIGGING Tennessee and that cost me about two minutes!!!

Love this.

@Joe Nation,

I had a hard time spelling Missouri.

That was fun. It frustrated me till I just started working through the alphabet. That made it a lot easier for me.

@littlek,

I had a hard time spelling Massachusetts - but I mulled good 2 minutes on
the very last state and couldn't get it. When it showed up - I hit my forehead!
