Impressive! If I were to take a quiz on Denmark, unless all of the answers were Copenhagen, the Little Mermaid or Daniel Agger, I'd be in trouble. :-)

I'd have done better if I'd read "most tornadoes" rather than "most tomatoes".

The population growth question should probably say "rate" or "percentage" or something like that. I tried California, Texas, Florida, and then switched gears.

Lowest and Highest capital city questions threw me for quite a loop didn't understand why Denver and Annapolis weren't being taken. Then I realized I was missing the last word, POPULATION not ELEVATION.

I tried Santa Fe first thinking elevation then Phoenix and it took that even though they want the state not the capital city.
