This fun quiz was a piece of cake for me thanks to my wooden United States puzzle and my amazing memory. Also, my Oregan Scientific Smart Globe deserves credit for helping me with each United States state capital. The only one I got wrong was Minnesota. St. Paul’s is the capital there where I thought it was Minniapolis/St. Paul. Anyway, I’m pretty proud of myself for acing this awesome quiz! Also, note to US players, you might want to brush up on your Canadian geography huh?

You are a US States buff! Look, I know you didn’t get them all right, and that’s okay. Try again in the next geography quiz to see if you can beat your score!
I`ve got an excuse, I`m an Aussie. I hear the other city names on the tv & in the movies & that`s where I got confused.

Considering I havenโt looked at a US map in decadesโฆI still remembered quite a few.
But, sad, I used to know them all. Once upon a time.
