State Nicknames - Neatorama

How well do you know the US states? They all have nicknames, but in today's Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss you'll only be tested on 15 of them. I scored 53%, and I kicked myself a couple of times when I found out the correct answers. http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/19206

Same score. Not kicking myself. :)

53% as well. I dont think I did too bad given that I have only been in only a few different states.

60%

I guessed on a lot of them though. There were a few I ALMOST knew. It came down between 2 of the choices a few times.

I got 100% right, although I have to admit that I guessed on one of them.

Greeting from Florida, "Land of the Nearly Deads" or "God's waiting Room" or "Florida, how's your chad hanging?".

53 percent, considering that I grew up in east germany and was just in 4 times in the us, in 3 states, california, colorado and new york, i might just be a little proud of it.
