How's your U.S. geography? Play "Place the State"
Meryl:
HAHA! Nicky, you have courage posting that score here. At least you gave it a shot! ;D
You're right, I'd be pretty hopeless given a similar task with the U.K. ::)

North Dakota's capital is Bismarck, while South Dakota's is Pierre. This might help you to remember: North might suggest Germanic...Bismarck is a German surname. South might evoke Latin...Pierre is a French name.

9th grade Civics, North and South Dakota got me. Thanks for the hint. Wish the teacher had thought up as much as most of the class messed up on that. Of course, everyone knows Baton Rouge. French for Red Stick.
I could never spell the capital of Florida correctly. I'd still have to check to see how to spell it correctly.

Scott, this is the kind of mnemonic I never forget. That would be a fun thread, people listing mnemonics. I'm goin' a go start one now. :)

Nicky, I'm pretty sure that if you could find us a similar puzzle about the UK, I would get a very low score. I'd love to try.
