"The first U.S. state to . . . have Elvis" is an interesting choice of words. I can't argue that the clue isn't technically correct as written, however.

About halfway through the quiz I forgot I was supposed to be guessing states and started guessing cities for some reason.

Cool quiz. South Carolina seceded in 1860, though.

I'm assuming Quizmaster was thinking about the start of the civil war in 1861. But South Carolina definitely seceded on December 20, 1860.

Virginia was the first successful settlement by the British, technically North Carolina was first with Roanoke Colony

Definitely second this. Either add permanently to the questions or accept North Carolina.

Just my $.02 - I like the idea for this quiz, but don't love the execution. Why give a hint on one question (and only one question) when there are several that are probably more obscure? Also didn't like the phrasing on the Elvis question or the Super Bowl question...

Agree that the question with the hint doesn't really it - it's not nicknamed the silver state for nothing, after all !

What's wrong with how the Super Bowl question is phrased?

I found the wording odd: the state didn't win the super bowl; a team from this state won the super bowl.

Only got the nuclear reactor question because of Simpson lore... and George H W inferred that the simpsons weren't useful to American families hahahaha
