Alaska beats Montana. There are so many more categories we could add but Alaska is pretty much always the answer.

Not hard to see why. Alaska is the only state more big Sky country than Montana. The Dakota's are also good at beating Montana.

The continental US includes Alaska (which is definitely the northernmost point). You should be using "contiguous US".

Agree. That answer, as it is, is wrong.

Continental US often refers just to the contiguous 48 states in many publications. Slightly wrong, but it's a common convention.

I think the same thing. Continental USA is a misleading term whereas contiguous is much clearer.

About 8-10 seconds per question is pretty standard on Jetpunk.

Ugh. I was naming the darn capitals in that one question--and wondering why none of them worked (SMH).

The 49th Parallel border between the US and Canada is NOT a straight line. Washington goes slightly farther north than Montana and should be an acceptable answer for "Northernmost point in the continental U.S."

This Wikipedia page has a good visual of the border's irregularities.

Yes, I know this is a nitpick, but still.
