A bit surprised/amused to see the Ohio question is the least-guessed one. I don't think any two northern states have ever gone to war with each other lol.

The war part isn't hard to believe, considering it did actually happen, but over 20,000 deaths?

Missed the Ford / General Motors question. I thought they had pulled everything out of Michigan, save for a few factories.

To be fair, all of those people that lived in Ohio and Michigan in 1835 are dead now so either answer could work haha

I'm a bit embarrassed I got the Ohio war question wrong lol. I didn't think they would trick us about the number of deaths but I should have known 20,000 deaths was way too many. apparently there were no deaths and only one wounded during the toledo war lol!

I find the "completely surronds" question confusing. Just me? There's no land from other states in the USA that touches the lakes right?

So it's surrounded by Michigan at the south and Canada at the north? Just a weird queston for someone unfamiliar with the area.

Being from Michigan, I remember this sort of question on Jeopardy once. The question asked "Which lake does not touch Canada."

I would imagine completely surrounds is completely. For example, Vatican City is completely surrounded by Italy. You wouldn't say Alaska completely surrounds the Arctic Ocean because it's the only US state to touch the ocean.
