I did think of that, but bwall is right. The shape reminded me of the moai more than the Old Man of the Mountain (may he rest in peace).

Yes. My original version only accepted Wyoming, but Quizmaster added Colorado as an acceptable answer. Makes sense, because the difference is subtle.

My eyes have failed me! Looking at this quiz again I noticed the corrected versions of things!

1. I though Massachusetts was a lobster not a toucan!

2. I though Minnesota was a rabid peacock with a lopsided mustache not whatever that is (I STILL can’t figure it out)!

3. I though South Carolina was a robber looking over his shoulder at a sack of gold not a robber sneaking up to a diamond!

I'm from New Jersey and when I was learning about the state in fourth grade, I said it looked like a Dutch boy looking to the left. Everyone said they didn't see it. Thank you, dug, for proving I'm not crazy! Though my Dutch boy has aged a bit, as have I, sadly.

That is a beautiful idea, because when I did you wonderful quiz I lost about 5 seconds typing in Colorado because it looks very similar to Wyoming. By the way, does Amazon have anything to do with Wyoming? If so could somebody teach me why? Thank you. :)

It's funny because when I was first learning the shapes of the states that's EXACTLY how I remembered Kentucky. The points on top are eyes and the backend is a tail of a weird cartoon slug character. It's like the creator of this read my mind. So, the very second I saw it I knew what state it was. Remarkable.

Funny, but it took me the longest to identify S.C., and it seems that is the one that most people struggle with. Still, despite being non-English-speaking, I got them all, as I cannot go past a map without pausing for a few minutes to take it all in, even if it is a map I have already seen numerous times.
