...in 6 minutes?

I got 45, and then I went blank. I think I'm missing some midwest and east coast states. I just saw an old "Friends" episode where none of them could think of all 50. So I decided to try it. It was harder than I thought! And I don't remember that song that lists them all... Oh ya, I forgot Wisconsin! Damn Yankees! :lol: ...and Tennessee, Michigan, Delaware, and one other... darn, I'm looking all over a map, and can't find the last one I missed. Oh well. Maybe I miscounted and actually had gotten 46 originially.

Although I've heard of many of them, I have difficulty recalling them at the moment. Is Thuringia still one? Bavaria? Ach... Mein VerstandIST leer!
