My co-workers and I were playing a little game today, where we were trying to name as many American states as possible. I managed to name 45 out of 50 from my head, which I think is a pretty good score for someone not even living in the United States. Afterwards, I looked at the list, and recognised them all, so if I had had a little bit more time, I would have known them all.
After this game, we were wondering if we knew the capitals of all these states, which is a lot harder. I only knew about 20 of them. Here they are (state, then capital):
Alabama - Montgomery
Alaska - Juneau
Arizona - Phoenix
Arkansas - Little Rock
California - Sacramento
Colorado - Denver
Connecticut - Hartford
Delaware - Dover
Florida - Tallahassee
Georgia - Atlanta
Hawaii - Honolulu
Idaho - Boise
Illinois - Springfield
Indiana - Indianapolis
Iowa - Des Moines
Kansas - Topeka
Kentucky - Frankfort
Louisiana - Baton Rouge
Maine - Augusta
Maryland - Annapolis
Massachusetts - Boston
Michigan - Lansing
Minnesota - Saint Paul
Mississippi - Jackson
Missouri - Jefferson City
Montana - Helena
North Carolina - Raleigh
North Dakota - Bismarck
Nebraska - Lincoln
Nevada - Carson City
New Hampshire - Concord
New Jersey - Trenton
