American Samoa is not the reason why the United States appears on this quiz. Part of the Aleutian Islands (Alaska) is west of the International Date Line. The island chain contains both the westernmost and easternmost point in the country.
The IDT determines what day the islands are in, it does not move the 180° longitude line. If it did, Fiji and Russia would not be so far east that 180° intersects them, ARandomQuizzer
When making the quiz, on step two - where you add the answers - you should see a box below 'step 6 submit'. Under rows, just put in any number you like and make sure the option insert before or after is selected, and that you've selected a cell in the 'hint' or 'answers' table. Hope this helps!
Ahem... I missed Australia... the only one! I really thinking hard and couldnt imagine what I had missed... ugh haha
New guinea was actualy my first guess and kiribati my second, and they are both very low (usa and east timor too, but I can think of explanation for those two, no surprise there)
more specifically, it is because an island is on the eastern side of the line and in alaska which although overseas is not an overseas territory, and there is no land in Alaska on the 180 line exactly.
an alaskan island is split between both sides and so as russia, kiribati also literally changes the date line, so that's right after cus its far to the right.
