Isn't that what maps are for?  So we don't have to memorise everything.
This should be all you need to know

Just know generalities, eh? Explains much.

Actually I am surprised they did pretty good considering the average European probably could not even fill in 4 of the states in the US :-\
no doubt about that

True but then you could argue the same for China and India. I could probably name two cities for each and that's about it.
Not having a go just saying.

American states are about the equivalent of European Countries....

trying to compare European counties to American states makes no sense.

I'd argue that if you could you'd likely be autistic. No joke I memorized a load of this shit and it's absolutely embarrassing in real life.

I got a new test for the Europeans...

Spell soap and then spell toothpaste.

Go.

For extra credit: which one is which?

I laughed at "pierogies". I was so amazed that they are somewhat popular in USA, you can buy them in whole foods market. Not sure how they blend in there (not healthiest food in the world) but w/e. And pierogi is plural, "pierogies" doesn't make any sense.

BTW Galeniko do you like cevapcici? They rule. Cevapcici made from lamb is fucking delicious.

ask people from Europe to do the same and you'll end with similar answers.
the ones who answered this were obviously not the common americans...

I can find about 90% of all states, easy.
