State Quiz - Missouri

I wouldn't consider an earthquake as something that "strikes." Maybe four of these occurred instead? I was trying to think of what else could have struck other than meteorites.

Another Missourian here. At first I tried George Washington Carver for the park but then I remembered that the park there is part of the national monument and not a national park.

I live near the New Madrid fault and to my knowledge there were only three major New Madrid earthquakes in 1811-1212. The first one was an 8.2 on Dec. 16th. A powerful aftershock of 7.4 occurred six hours later. Another 8+ occurred in January and another one in February of 8.4. The last one was considered the worst and caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards and form waterfalls for a time and also formed Reelfoot Lake in TN. It was said church bells rang on the east coast from that one. There were many aftershocks recorded for decades after. All the literature around here says there were three major quakes and all the others were aftershocks. The only differences of opinion I've heard is in regards to the magnitude of the quakes with some saying they weren't quite as high as initially thought but the jury's still out on that. We still have occasional ones big enough to feel but I'll let you know later whether they're isolated ones or foreshocks to another "big one".

Did this quiz from St. Louis.

Wow, the first thing I saw on this quiz was the Gateway Arch, I recognised it and proceeded to do this quiz, but FORGOT to enter it as an answer! 🤦‍♂️

i typed olympics in so many different ways I dont know why it never filled in

Can you believe there's a state that kind of sounds like the word "misery" and it's not West Virginia?

Could someone explain why the Gateway Arch was made into a national park? Aren't all other national parks focused on nature

Great quiz! I was somewhat surprised that Independence, MO didn't show up on here, but overall the clues were pretty good.

Nothing about Ice Cream Cones?

*Nelson Muntz voice*

"Andy Williams!"

The best-selling brand of beer in the US is Bud Light, and it's not even very close. Here's one source, for example.

19/19. I'm a true Missourian

Just got Branson because of an episode from The Simpsons with something like:

- Have we already arrived in Branson, Missouri?

- No, we arrived in Bronson, Missouri.

Then everyone in the city looked like Charles Bronson lol

I feel like 'fair' should be accepted for world's fair.

Sad my state has the state quiz with the least questions

I really suggest looking up the 1904 Olympics, quite possibly the worst Olympics to ever happen.

Only 54% know Chuck Berry! Modern music has taken over our brains. :

I've never been to Missouri, but somehow I got 14/19 on the first try (and I got the badge, yay!!)

Fun quiz! Could you add "Clark and Lewis" a type-in for "Lewis and Clark" though?

Could Louis as a misspelling of Lewis be accepted?
