LOL. I think the replacement question should be "Has 'Carolina' in its name."

I grew up in South Carolina and have lived in North Carolina for 30+ years. If I didn't get all of these correct, I would have to move to Georgia..

I answered a lot of these questions based on my prejudice that South Carolina is a typical southern backward state :) Got 13/16 right.

Myrtle Beach is on the state line so half the city is in NC and half in SC.

Actually, when Roanoke was originally colonized it was located in VA. Over time, the boards have changed so now it is NC,

As a South Carolinian, I would be remiss not to have gotten all of these. Although there are aspects of my state that I do love, North Carolina really is the better, more interesting Carolina in my book

I love the ratio of more than 2:1 North Carolina to South Carolina. It keeps you on your toes! Many similar quizzes are roughly 50:50 so this required higher conviction in the answers.
