I learned 'em from having a States puzzle when I was a kid. It must have worked: I scored 149/150, and that was just a brainfart “duh-I knew that!” mistake from being overly hasty.
It did feel weird being asked “Where is Alaska?” and pointing to a location southwest of the 48.
Stupid geography…
kicks the internet and slouches away
150/150.
Vermont is sort of V shaped, and New Hampshire looks sort of like a backwards lower-case h.
143
Stupid New England states. Why can’t we just mash em all into one?
150/150 on U.S. states
38/39 on Canadian provinces
116/138 on European countries
143/150. Indiana was the only one which took more than two tries, though I got it on the third. And pairs like New Hampshire and Vermont, or Wyoming and Colorado, were just a random guess as to which was which.
Woohoo! 150/150: perfect score on the States!
And I’m Canadian.
I thought of the K-N Act too, but then I remembered that the states in that area joined the US in order westbound as the time went by. Missouri was a state first (1821), then we had the problems in Bleeding Kansas (just west of Missouri) leading to Kansas’ statehood in 1861, and just west of that, Colorado achieved statehood in 1876 (it’s called the Centennial State for a reason). Then all I need to remember is that over the top of the latter two is Nebraska.
Well, it worked for me, anyway.
Ah, that explains it. Thanks.
60/168 on Africa. That was pretty hard.
Nebraska is north of Kansas. Nebraska is north of Kansas. Nebraska is north of Kansas. Nebraska is north of Kansas. Nebraska is north of Kansas. Nebraska is north of Kansas. Nebraska is north of Kansas. Nebraska is north of Kansas.
94/96 on Asia, because I mixed up Thailand and Myanmar, and then Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
150/150 US
124/138 Europe (Where’s Yugoslavia??? :dubious: )
37/39 South America
112/162 Africa
89/96 Asia
I remember it by Vermont being the V-shaped one, too.
My score was 150, but the only reason it was is because someone else recently linked to a game where you had to place the states on a blank map. That one was REALLY hard! But play it a few times, and it really helps you remember where they are.
145, but it was a shaky mouse click on Delaware.
I got 150.
And I always remember Vermont because its the one of those two that looks like a V.
Heh. 150 here, but I did really crappy on that one where you have to place the states in a US outline.
Or, remember which one is coastal with
Why doesn’t New Hampshire fall into the sea?
Because Vermont sucks.
