name all the presidents in 8 minutes

I nailed it with 5:23 left on the clock.

Fair disclosure: this was my second try. For some reason, it wouldn't let me type in "Millard Fillmore", perhaps cause I put a space in front. Also, it woudn't recognize the words "Nixon" or "Lyndon" at first, so it gets a bit glitchy. Oddly enough the program did recognize "LBJ" as an answer, but not "Lyndon Johnson". Wonky.

Remember, double Jonnsons, Harrisons, and Roosevelts.

For some reason I still think someone made him up and he never actually existed.

It wouldn't recognize some names when I tried it because I apparently had hit the space bar before typing in the first letter of the name.

I never committed the entire list to memory. If I had to sit down and name all 44 I could probably get close, but it would take me some time.
