Great quiz!- 20/20 at last second with a decent amount of guessing. Question about highest record temp is super misleading though since the answer is actually lower than Alaska (the given exception) already.

Thanks! Can you tell me your source for that? NOAA has them tied at 100F. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/scec/records/all/tmax

I had to think about it for a little bit but then it came to me. And it made sense too.

genuinely difficult - especially the water area question - and not so much time that you can afford to guess randomly. Awesome quiz

Please excuse me if I’m being dim, but what does Hawaii border? The Pacific Ocean? Maybe “outline” would be more accurate than “border.”

Agreed. The question kind of implies there is at least 1 border

I agree border is not a great word. TBH i don't love outline either but seems like at least a few people like that better, so I'll change it, unless someone suggests an even better word.
