How many US states can you name, off the top of your head? I have tried a few times and have never got past 35. Can anyone, anywhere, name them all?

This annoys me too. I too usually get stuck at around the 35-40 mark. I refuse to rote-learn them though. I can, however, easily name the 25 countries in the EU.

I tried this about a month ago when somebody asked the question "when you try to name all the US states, which state do you always forget?" (or something like that... so I sat down and did it, and I actually did get 49 and forgot one, which was Massachussetts. I would like to think that it wasn't a fluke and I could do it again, but maybe my brain was on high power that day... I am sure I could get 45 no problem at least.

I can get them all. In school I learned a song about the 50 states that rhyme. I'm not going to name them all right now, though.
-
I can name all of them, and even their capitols, too. I had a lot of spare time as a child....

Used to be all of them, we learned a song for it, but I've forgotten lots of them. Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, (something), Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, (then I forget the rest but I know it ends with Wyoming) xD

I know them all in alphabetical order. I'm too lazy and impatient to type them all though, so just believe me!

Off the top of my head: - Alabama - Alaska - Oklahoma - California - Ohio - Maryland - Nebraska - Massachusetts - Maine - New York - New Jersey - Arizona - Utah - Washington - Oregon - Florida - Mississippi - Texas - New Mexico - Rhode Island - Hawaii - Connecticut - Pennsylvania - Virginia - Missouri - Montana - Wyoming - Nevada - New Hampshire - Wisconsin - Colorado - North Dakota - South Dakota - Delaware - Georgia - Indiana - Kentucky - Louisiana And I know another two states share the same name, apart from the ''north'' and ''south'' prefix. It's driving me nuts, so I'm submitting my answer so I can relieve myself and look at a map.
