Everyone knows that Vermont is upside down. If you took away New Hampshire, Vermont would fall over and knock Maine into the sea.

Got it in about half the time allotted. When I was a child, I took great pride in naming all the states on a map and knowing the capitals.

I don’t quite remember ALL the capitals now, though, but I do know the four state capitals named after a U.S. President. Can you? Without loooking.

I’ll take a stab…

Jefferson City, MO  
Lincoln, NE  
Madison, WI  
Jackson, MS
