Why take the long road? When you can take the short.

If you divide the United states with an imaginary line from East to West, cut it right in half horizontally. (Alaska should be more in the North of course)
Would the state on your coin be (for the largest part) in the Northern part?

So it is in the Southern part.
Would the state on your coin be on the left side of the slightly slanted vertical line?

Much more difficult without a map.

True but I could also ask to draw an imaginary line over the border of KS and MO (Kansas, Montana???), OK and AR (Oklahoma and Arkansas??) and TX and LA (Texas and ???)
And then ask if your state is to the left of that line...
But as I am not as familiar with the location of the states, I used a map....

You're just cranky because I found a clever way to find the anwser....


Since I know it is to the left of the slanted line and since I have 17 questions left...

is it CA?

is it NV?

is it UT?

is it CO?

is it AZ?

is it NM?

is it TX?

is it OK?

is it KS?

is it HI?

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING !!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!


I have 7 questions left... (if the answer is Hawai)

OK here is a puzzle for you guys. Just trying to read through the question gives me a headache. This is beyond crazy. Just try to read the question!

A rope over the top of a fence has the same length on each side and weighs one-third of a pound per foot. On one end of the rope hangs a monkey holding a banana, and on the other end a weight equal to the weight of the monkey. The banana weighs 2 ounces per inch. The length of the rope in feet is the same as the age of the monkey, and the weight of the monkey in ounces is as much as the age of the monkey's mother. The combined ages of the monkey and its mother is 30 years. One-half the weight of the monkey plus the weight of the banana is one-fourth the sum of the weights of the rope and the weight. The monkey's mother is one-half as old as the monkey will be when it is three times as old as its mother was when she was one-half as old as the monkey will be when it is as old as its mother will be when she is four times as old as the monkey was when it was twice as old as its mother was when she was one-third as old as the monkey was when it was as old as its mother was when she was three times as old as the monkey was when it was one-fourth as old as its is now. How long is the banana?

To save you the effort of using Google here is a web page that has the solution, and the method to figure it it out.

The Universe of Discourse : How long is the banana?

I thought the foreigners learned more in school about the US than us?

yeah, but Sid, you also thought that bad nookie is better than no nookie....

The chapter USA in our schoolbooks is very short...

They're loud.
They love guns.
They invented McDonalds


That was it.
So far, our books are still up to date....

Not cranky, just the quarters game is way to easy if you are using a map.
