Yeah. It does feel weird. Canada has a point that is south of the northernmost parts of those states. California too.

Fun fact California is the only state to fail both of these criteria, it is both more south than Mexico at points and more North than Canada at points.

Yeah I guess I hadn't considered California being level with Canada too bc borders are pretty much always gonna eliminate you from things like this (although ig US/Canada couldve been a rare exception with the massive 49th parallel border)

I mean the description makes it pretty clear.

US states that are more north than Mexico's north most point and more south than Canada's south most point.

If you were to draw two (parallel) lines of latitude through:

• 41.68147°, the southernmost point of Canada in the Peelee Islands; and

• 32.78169°, the northernmost point of Mexico at Los Algodones,

Then what states would lie entirely between those two lines, without overlapping either of them?

This quiz also doesn't make sense to me. New Jersey is not between Canada and Mexico. No part of Mexico is South of New Jersey.

Oh, I was thinking lines longitude because some states are too east or west to be directly north of Mexico.

I also answered the quiz question based on longitude. The quiz instructions should make it clear that the quiz relates to latitude. For example, “which states are latitudinally entirely south of Canada and entirely north of Mexico”.
