   Hi Tom Hall, it’s another Tom Hall. I live in Purcellville, Va. Anyway, I got all 50 in less than five minutes, alphabetically no less, because of a song I learned as a teen-ager: “Fifty Nifty United States.” It still helps me when I have to put lists of states in order.

   I somehow managed to miss Nebraska, Vermont, and Wyoming, even though I kept seeing images of cowboys and verdant mountains. Oh well, I had surgery last weekend and managed to forget my home telephone number yesterday when making a medical appointment. Maybe I’m still loopy.

   I got all 49. I was under the impression that Nebraska had seceded.

    Andre - aren’t you in Brazil? And you got 49? Wow.

    I’ll bet those getting all of them (or nearly all) are a wee bit younger than I

    I had 5 left to go with 7 minutes still on the clock when my phone rang with a business call that took 7 minutes 30 seconds.

    Also how come Mass. has to be so hard to spell?

    Tom Hall 2, I learned the same song in 3rd grade

    Got them all with 3 minutes to spare although I had to look up the bloody spelling of “Massachusetts” XD

    48 with three minutes left-easily could have cheated but I left out red staters of Wyoming and Nebraska. does that really count. Do they really count

    I’ll be honest…I missed 5. Those midwest states just wouldn’t come to me. I missed Indiana (sorry John Mellencamp), Iowa (the corny state), Kansas (sorry Dorothy & Toto), Wisconsin (the cheesy state), Missouri (the flooding state ?).

    I was only able to remember 50, I still can’t think of the other 7.

    I’ll see if they are on Obama’s web site.

    Damn it! Nevada and Kansas. Been to the former once; flown over the latter more times than I can count. 48 in about 4 1/2 minutes… and 5 1/2 minutes failing to remember that weekend in Vegas or that rectangularish one in the middle.
