Right? The biggest airport I can think of is probably Denver's, but that's only about 50 sqmi, a far cry from Delaware's 1200+.

The little comments that appear after you've taken the quiz even said Rhode Island is about 20 times the size of DIA which is 52.4 square miles.

I swear Delaware’s not even a real state. I have never been there or met anyone who is from there, so it can’t possibly be real.

As someone who doesn't live in the USA, all I know is that Rhode Island is very small and that some of your airports are insanely big.

43% now. And don't forget that is including those people that read the comments to find answers... which always surprises me how many people do that (and admit to it, which means the amount that actually does it is even higher!!)

Panama Canal would get you from NY to LA, no?

No: you'd have to use oceans and seas for that route, but the question only allows rivers, lakes and canals :p

Did you read the full sentence? It says via rivers, lakes, and canals. It doesn't include oceans.

Doesn't include oceans. Also, why is that the people who are talking ocean routes just list the Panama Canal? If ocean routes were allowed, you could also skip the Panama Canal and round South America. Or take the Arctic Ocean...Personally I'd just sail east and take the Suez route :)

Number 6 is worded strangely. I thought you meant "that it was possible to drive through a single state in order to get from Missouri to Colorado" rather than the "Is there only 1 state you can drive through to go from Missouri to Colorado?" that you meant.

Admitingly the ship question stumped me because the first thing I thought of was traveling via Panama Canal. However, with the way the question is worded it implies the ship can do ALL of those things; not just one of those things.

You need to clarify how one could get from New York to LA by ship. Yes it can be done but includes going through other countries. You'd travel south and through the panama canal and into the Pacific traveling north toward L.A. or even further south around Argentina and back north up the coast of South America. If the question only allows us to use the USA for travel, then the answer is no.

"A ship could travel via rivers, lakes, and canals all the way from New York to Los Angeles." The Pacific Ocean is not a river, a lake, or a canal, nor is the Atlantic Ocean.

While a ship couldn't reach LA from NYC without oceans, it could reach Portland, OR: Hudson river, Erie Canal, Great Lakes, Illinois and Michigan Canal, up the Mississippi-Missouri system up to Two Ocean pass and down the Columbia river basin from there (admittedly, it would have to be a very small ship).
