Couldn't you visualize all those skinny Coloradans?

Level 54

Feb 17, 2021

Probably not, because I have never been to Colorado

Level 75

It's hard to visualise because a lot of Coloradans who look obese are actually big boned. You can't slim down bone.

Is that a South Park joke? The whole not fat just big boned Cartman running gag?

Yeah, sorry. Funny though that the obesity rate in colorado is almost exactly 25% - South Park was often very accurate!

I got all except for Colorado. The island one took me second intill i remembered that NYC is an island lol

Oof, the only one I got wrong was the "tax" one. I figured more Democratic states would have higher taxes, so I tried literally every Democratic state except one of the most obvious ones, New York.

Same!

I didn't expect Hawaii to be low in obesity.

Level ∞

It's mostly due to the ethnic makeup of the state, with Asians being the highest percentage of the population, and African-Americans being a very small percentage. Native Hawaiians are quite likely to be obese, but only comprise 9.9% of the population.

I guess so

I live in Hawaii and I got like 10. Some were really easy but others like Colorado were hard. I never knew there were states with less obesity rates than us.

Very interesting that countries with high urban populations have the fewest traffic deaths per capita. That is not something I expected.

Level 56

Apr 1, 2022

Really? At least here in Australia, there are far more road deaths outside cities than inside cities.

Level 78

Nov 19, 2022

Most fatal accidents are at high speeds, which are generally harder to attain in a city where there's lots of traffic, lights, etc. Cities almost certainly have more traffic accidents, but they're a lot less likely to be fatal if you were only going at 30 miles per hour.

Trying California, Alaska, and New York on each question gets you almost all of them, pro tip.
