Yep. Another minute would be about right.

Yes, I could have figured out a few more with another minute.

That "natural disaster deaths" category was a downer...

Nearly 2000 people died after Hurricane Katrina.

Nearly 250 people in texas die every MONTH because of natural disasters

*Farthest from the ocean.

Furthest indicates conceptual distance, farthest indicates geographical distance.

...unless you intended to indicate conceptual distance from the ocean, in which case I believe that you have given the incorrect answer.

South Dakota is pretty conceptually distant from the ocean anyway

I probably guessed half of the states on the Gila monster question. Never heard of it!
