Another quiz where i'd love to see the split between the scores of those who take the quiz and are from North America and those from the rest of the world. I suspect the latter would score a lot lower.

Agreed. I was fairly pleased with 6/10 in that time.

Yeah. I'm from Europe and I only knew Alaska and Hawaii for certain and started guessing the others.

I'm from germany and had 9/10. I assumed, that the states in the west of the US are the newest. But I missed Oklahoma.

Oklahoma was reserved as Native American territory for a long time, which is why it became a state a lot later than the other states in that region.

It's really not too difficult, once you realise that the western/harder to settle states are generally newer. That being said I didn't have much time left on the clock when I finished.

I only knew Hawaii and Alaska for certain aswell, had to guess the rest. Though I knew to avoid the east and texas and california.

That doesnt immediately make it easy like someone mentioned above, cause then you have to know which ones are there. Knowing where they are is actually the easy part (for a non USAer) not "once you know it is in the west it's easy"

Is it just me or does it feel like every comment from this guy mentions somewhere that he's not from America?

I'm not american and I got 9/10 on first try. It's pretty intuitive really, you put Alaska and Hawaii that are obvious and try western states. If you know the states you should get at least 9 of them pretty easily.

The only one I didn't get was Oklahoma, no idea why it took so long.

We get it. Your not American and are annoyed how the quiz’s on this American website are geared for Americans. Just take a non American quiz.

I believe they meant to say New Delaware and New Pennsylvania which should certainly be on the list.

Hawaii and Alaska as the obvious answers, then western states for the rest. Oklahoma was a bit of an outlier, but managed to get it

Fun fact: we are currently in the longest period without a new state (64 years). It doesn't look like that'll change anytime soon.
