Fix the US Map
Someone has labelled a map of the United States with all 50 states and their capitals, and 13 of the labels are wrong. Click every wrong label in 2 minutes; three clicks on a right label end the round. Every play is a new map.

13 labels on this map are wrong. Click every wrong label before the 2:00 timer runs out. Clicking a label that is right is a strike, and 3 strikes end the round. Zoom in to read the crowded corners.

How it works and sources
Every round is new: the wrong labels are picked at random from the map. A wrong label shows the name of a nearby place of the same kind (usually a neighbour), two neighbours swap names, or three neighbours pass their names round. A challenge link replays exactly the same map.
Clicking a label that is right is a strike, and three strikes end the round. Sporcle's version has no strike limit, but then clicking every label in turn would always win.
Labels sit on each place. Where a place is too small for its name (microstates, islands and the smallest states), the label sits nearby with a line to a dot on the place. Zoom in to read the crowded areas.
All 50 states are labelled with their capitals. Washington, D.C. is not part of the quiz.
A wrong capital may also show a well-known city of the same state that is not the capital, such as Chicago in Illinois or Los Angeles in California.
State shapes come from the US Census Bureau cartographic boundary files (us-atlas).
