I simply couldn't find Hawaii, so I just started guessing states that alphabetically fit in that position. Maybe you'd want to consider less whammies?

Even with the 3 whammies that's how I got Hawaii. I paused the quiz and stopped to think and I was like: ohhhh Hawaii would be so so sneaky!

Great quiz!

it is possible that people are retaking it. people can also look over the map before they start the quiz. idrc about cheating, if people want to take the quiz twice for one extra point, i'm okay with that. it isn't that deep.

I've always thought that Wisconsin and Tanzania have looked kind of similar. Plus, both of them are on great lakes, have their largest cities on the east coast, and inland capital cities.

Mini states seem vulnerable and cute

We just did a job for a nutter, driving through 9 states to deliver his belongings. The states seemed vast. I prefer them here, wee.

Super work, I am following you
