I got all but 6.

Free tip: When it says "Updated January 20, 2008", they mean "2009". (No, I didn't miss the current president, but he was the last one I remembered.)

no

i did about 15 and then got to annoyed because it wanted full names because of same name overlap and quit

Done with 3:44 remaining. Had more problems getting the spelling right than anything. I had to memorize them throughout elementary Just couldn't remember how to spell Coolidge, Buchanan, VanBuren (spelled together not apart like I thought), and a few others

 

[zerocool84]

I gave up in the beginning

 

[KeithTalent]

Time ended with 9 remaining. Not bad for a Canadian I guess.

Indeed; I could name maybe 3 Canadian Prime Ministers.

3/43 Left

Damn.. messed up with Carter. I missed:

John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Rutherford B. Hayes, Jimmy Carter

 

[So]

36 with three minutes left. The following slipped my mind:

"James Madison, James Monroe, Martin Van Buren, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield, Chester Arthur"

Honestly, Pierce is the only one I'd never have remembered given infinite time

I knew maybe 15. I don't really care, I was never made to memorize them either. I never had to memorize anything elaborate in school.

 

[acheron]

I missed Martin Van Buren, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, William McKinley

Should have gotten Grant at least; he's on the damn $50.

Barrack Obama.

 

[DarrelSPowers]

There was a contest to memorize every presidents name in order, back when I was in 4th grade.

Being able to recite them to this day comes in handy, bar trivia especially.

 

[woodie1]

No thanks. I have better things to keep track of.

 

[2Xtreme21]

So I missed FDR and Nixon... sad?

 

[AccruedExpenditure]

I can do the 20th and 21st centuries

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

I couldn't do most of the 19th century...

Wow, you remembered all of them but those? That's pathetic... Those are some of the most rememberable.

 

[Brainonska511]

I got to about 15 left. Forgot a bunch of the nobody presidents from the 1800s and the Forgotten presidents between A. Johnson and TR.

 

[darkxshade]

I got about 20 and gave up out of frustration with 4 minutes left when names I was typing in wasn't being accepted, plus there were a few I knew the first names but couldn't get the last names. It's easy to get at least 10 starting the the latest presidents and going backwards then names by currency and then through memory of history.
