<p>In response to question #4 I must be a bit nitpicky there…</p>
<p>The world’s highest mountains are NOT on the continents! The world’s highest mountains are actually on the seafloor where the mid ocean ridges/rises are located. They have the greatest relief and are tallest in comparison to their plate. Their elevation is not greatest (due to the buoyancy of the continents relative to oceanic plates) but their height is not…</p>
<p>Just my 2 cents…as you were ;)</p>
<p>My answers got lost!!! GGGGRRRRRR!!!
I did though agree 100% with bobob - the Amazon/Nile is the tricky one. GA is definitely the largest state east of the Mississippi, so that should be the same as “greatest amount of land” - learned that back in the good ole days when we did have geography class.</p>
<p>Dmd - re:the city-state question, i think the jury is still out. The book “1491” is a fascinating account of what all we don’t know, and are just beginning to learn about pre-Columbian cultures. That question may be very difficult to ever answer with absolute certainty.</p>
<p>We all know that Michican is a state separated into two (non-island) land masses, but Michigan is not the only state like that. Name three more.</p>
<p>btw, rivers don’t count as “separating” land masses, otherwise there would be many more.</p>
<p>Is it possible to live in an Atlantic Coast state and also live in the Central Time Zone?</p>
<p>Virginia is one of them, right? It has the Del Mar penninsula. </p>
<p>Maryland - I don’t think you can get across E-W without going through W. Va.</p>
<p>My final guess… Rhode Island. It has a little spit of land that comes down from the Cape Cod area.</p>
<p>Pure guesses to #24: Maryland? Louisiana? Rhode Island (goes out on a limb and says she’s pretty sure about this one).</p>
<p>Maine might as well be, because everyone knows that even after you arrive “You can’t get theah from heah.” :p</p>
<h1>25 - Florida panhandle?</h1>
<p>Virginia, Maryland and hhmmm - Washingtom State or Alaska?</p>
<p>The three I was thinking were Virginia (largest second area), Rhode Island, and Minnesota (upper-most point is actually attached to Canada). The two “halves” of West Virginia are joined by a thin connection. And Florida’s panhandle is in the Central Time Zone (thanks, jmmom).</p>
<p>2 wrong…for q1 I thought PA</p>
<p>Upon consultation with Mapquest, I did find that the halves of MD (always thought W. Va. was one connected state) are connected by a thin strip of land, approximately 1.6 miles in length. (It is right near the I-68 and I-70 junction, for those of you who are wondering.)</p>
<p>Mapquest also told me that the Red Lake Indian Reservation is wedged between Ontario and Manitoba, just north of Muskeg Bay; it is indeeed part of Minnesota.</p>
<p>Any more good ones, Digi?</p>
<p>There are a few parts of the NW corner of VT that are connected to Canada but not to the rest of the state (Alburg, VT).</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Yes, as others have answered, in Florida. And the reverse is also true. You can live in a Pacific coast state and also live in the Mountain Time Zone –> the southeast corner of Oregon.</p>
<p>Being an old Jeopardy guy, I love this sort of stuff.</p>
<p>What is the only letter in the alphabet that does not appear in the name of any state of the United States?</p>
<p>A few cities in the United States share their names with other U.S. states. For instance there is a Nevada in Missouri and a Louisiana in Missouri. Can you name seven more?</p>
<p>coureur - Thanks for that one. I never knew that!</p>
<p>I’m going with “Q”, xiggi.</p>
<p>Unless I’m losing it, answer is Q.</p>
<p>Of the “rare” letters, X in New Mexico; V in Nevada; W in Wyoming; K in Kentucky; J in New Jersey.</p>
<p>Q is correct.</p>
<p>I love Jeopardy. Unfortunately, I am not very good in American geography.</p>
