Thanks. If I may make some suggestions for improvement: don't expect a word in the question to be repeated in the answer. So the answer to Qn 11 should be just Louisiana. Also consider removing questions whose answers are obscure numbers which nobody is likely to know - e.g. Qn 8 and the final Qn, Could ask the other way round - e.g. which state was founded in 301?
