So, you think you know your U.S. state capitals?   Take this test to find out for sure.   Naming 30 of the 37 capitals called for (not all of which are different) qualifies you as an expert capitalogist.
Can you name …

1.   … five state capitals that begin with the letter A?

2.   … six capitals that begin with the letter C?

3.   … four capitals named for U.S. Presidents?

4.   … the capital with the longest name?

5.   … three capitals that are tied for having the shortest name?

6.   … two capitals that end in G?

7.   … two capitals that end in K?

8.   … two capitals that begin with the same six letters?

9.   … two capitals that end in the same seven letters?

10.   … six two-word capitals that are found in contiguous states?

11.   … three capitals that contain, as consecutive letters, their state’s postal abbreviations?

12.   … two capitals that often rhyme when spoken by people outside their states,
            but not so often when spoken by people from their states?



Many thanks to Elizabeth Pleacher for making the correction to question #10 (there are six and not five contiguous states that have two word names for capitals).
