You should accept "Newfoundland" for Newfoundland and Labrador.

Already accepted...

I'm surprised at how low the French territory has been guessed, when in the instructions it clearly says "French territory". It baffles me.

Didn't read the fine print - thought it was Nunavut

^{I'm sure that the French territory is so, well, unknown that few people know about it.}

Level 79

Jul 27, 2016

Well, I didn't know what it was, and I guess that can said for many of the others.

Level 94

Jul 27, 2016

I guessed DC first, and I'm not sure that's wrong. Then went skeptically to Nunavut, and was reassured when it didn't work. Took me a couple minutes to remember New France.

Level 25

Sep 5, 2016

I do wonder if DC is in that territory

Level 61

Oct 14, 2016

DC doesn't have anything remotely like mountains, though.

Level 62

Mar 11, 2021

DC is near the mountains and pretty hilly but too close to the ocean to be in them.

Level 65

May 26, 2017

You could have told me not only that it is a French territory, but could have also spelled out every letter except that last one for me and I still would not have gotten it. No idea what or where the place is; I will now look it up, however.

Level 90

Jul 7, 2018

Geez, just Territory as a clue even if you tried Nunavut and the Northwest Territories would leave just one along that whole swath. Hopefully a lot of people googled and learned. Beautiful place and still a major political connection in North America.

I don't think that it's because we didn't read "French territory," I think it was more that we didn't know WHICH French territory. Most of us probably have either never heard of Saint Pierre and Miquelon or have no idea where the frick it is, much less that it's in the Appalachian mountains. I, myself, have read the fine print and have heard of the island itself, but had no idea it was near Canada, so I obviously didn't guess it.

Level 73

Jul 28, 2016

Please take Saint Pierre and Miquelon out of this quiz.

+31

Level 59

Jul 28, 2016

Why, because you didn't guess it? And no, I won't remove it.

Level 25

Aug 5, 2016

On Wikipedia, it does say that St. Pierre and Miquelon does touch the Appalachian Mountains, so I think it should be included.

Level 78

Aug 27, 2016

I loved learning about this new place I never knew existed. Thanks!

Level 74

Oct 14, 2016

Lived in the mid-south US all my life and never heard of this place. Agree with Halpie, thanks for teaching me something new!

Level 78

Oct 25, 2016

I always thought the Newfoundland area, including Saint Pierre and Miquelon, was more a part of the Canadian Shield than the Appalachian Mountains. I'm not one to argue with Wikipedia, though.

Level 66

Jan 24, 2017

Knew it because my grandfather was born there.

How does St Pierre and Miquelon touch the Appalachian Mountains? They're islands.

Level 71

Jul 25, 2019

Bernard62601 that's exactly what I was thinking. Anyone have an explanation for how St Pierre is part of the Appalachians?

Level 71

Aug 14, 2020

They're geologically in the same mountain range. The Appalachians were formed long ago, when the continents weren't yet separated. The International Appalachian Trail (IAT) does stretch all the way to Newfoundland from Mount Katahdin in Maine. It even has a few chapters in Greenland, Western Europe (UK, Spain, Netherlands, Scandinavia and such) and Northern Africa (Morocco), since the mountains there where once all part of the Central Pangean Mountains. Originally, some peaks were as high as the Alps or the Rockies. Amazing how much erosion has shorted and smoothed them over millions of years...

Also try States and Provinces Touching the Rocky Mountains, and the same concept, but for the Great Lakes.

Level 43

Oct 14, 2016

St Pierre-et-Miquelon ??

Level 59

Oct 14, 2016

Oui?

Level 72

Oct 15, 2016

How does St. Pierre & Miquelon touch the Appalachians? It's surrounded by water on all sides.

Level 59

Oct 15, 2016

The range comprises some of the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. Don't ask how. I'm guessing some of the mountains on there are classified as part of the range.

Level 90

Oct 25, 2018

There are mountain ranges under the ocean. *Gasp*

Level 71

Aug 14, 2020

See my comment a few posts above. (In short, the mountains were all in the same range millions of years ago, when the world was just one huge continent. They got separated since, but maintain some healthy family ties.)

Level 23

Feb 8, 2017

Isn't Saint Pierre and Miquelon an Island. Just saying.

Level 66

Oct 1, 2017

Yes it is, but mountain ranges don't always have to be above water, so the range reaches there. Great Quiz

Level 47

Feb 2, 2019

I don't think two little islands touch the Appalachians. I knew the answer based on "French territory" but I don't agree with it.

Level 71

Aug 14, 2020

But you agree with Newfoundland, which is also an island?

Level 82

Jan 27, 2021

The province is called Newfoundland and Labrador; Labrador being on the mainland.

Level 62

Mar 11, 2021

The mountains are actually in Newfoundand, not Labrador. The Appalachians go underwater onto Newfoundland in a range called the Long Range Mountains and honestly they look more like Norway than the Appalachians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Range_Mountains

Level 68

Mar 29, 2024

The Long Range Mountains are pretty physically similar to the Chicchocs in the Gaspe or the Cape Breton Highlands in Nova Scotia, a series of flat-topped subalpine or alpine plateaus with tons of glacial erosion. They are more dramatically glacially eroded than either, with actual fjords and tons of cirques, and have a lot more land above treeline, but I wouldn't say they are totally unlike anywhere else in the Appalachians.

ummm Maryland?

Jan 13, 2023

what about it?

Level 82

Jan 27, 2021

Has anyone got 100% on their first attempt? The Territory flummoxed me.

Level 73

May 4, 2021

Since 14.5% of quiz takers reportedly got a 100% on their first attempt, that means about 1,588 people got 100% on their first attempt. So yes.

I only missed New Jersey.
