Great quiz! As a New Yorker, I thank you - you got all parts of the state in, along with history, geography, population - not just NYC! One note: the true name is "Liberty Enlightening The World" actually, "The Statue of Liberty" is merely a nickname. ONLY because so many quizzes on here would have insisted on the real name and the real name ONLY, I began with that and it was not accepted (yes, I immediately substituted the common answer). Although I totally grant you that the vast majority will answer "The Statue of Liberty", having the quiz NOT accept the actual name seems really strange. May I suggest accepting it, just for accuracy sake? Thanks again for a fun quiz.

It's nice to see the Catskill Mountains get a mention. Often overshadowed by their cousins the Adirondacks, the Catskills have some of the best hiking and vistas on the east coast.
