"Delaware-New Jersey's curious border is the result of a grant by King Charles II in 1681. . ." --Wikipedia

DE and NJ do share a very small land border due to the "12 Mile circle."

Halpie - joined not just by the I-295 bridge. There are 3 small parcels of Delaware land on the east (NJ) side of the river.

Without microscopically studying a map, I don't know if New Jersey shares a land border with Pennsylvania. I wouldn't be a pedantic fool though. They obviously border each other in case you're ever wondering what all those buildings are that you're looking at from the Camden waterfront.

Managed to get SC just in the nick of time. Was surprised by that, but it was the only state left alphabetically.

Well crap, didn't even notice it was alphabetical. I mean, of course it was, cause it pretty much always is, but I was so confused trying to figure out what the heck state it could be after guessing all the (I thought) obvious ones that I didn't even notice.

Same here. I went alphabetically twice, the first time thinking - nope, that can't be it. Second time through, figured I might as well try.

It borders Massachusetts and Connecticut by land, but shares a small maritime border with new york on it's southwest.

Maritime borders do not count since an "owned sea" borders another "owned sea" , but not the actual state.

Technically. :)

I'm so glad you mentioned this. I am a native Rhode Islander and almost no one seems to recognize this. Long Island, NY is super close to Block Island, RI.

Delaware doesn't border Virginia, Virginia's section of Delmarva only borders Maryland. Delaware does border New Jersey, a fact I only learned from this comment section aswell.

There are some states that have borders. But this quiz should be asking which states share the fewest state lines with other states. When you cross from Kentucky into Tennessee, you don't cross a border. You cross the Kentucky-Tennessee State Line. And that goes for every other state except Alaska and Hawaii.
