Definitely would have suspected that Maryland counted as north-east.

Yeah the Census Regions can be a little odd. This is why I chose to say "not in the Northeast Region" as opposed to "in the South Region", because Maryland is definitely not south.

Even today, Maryland and Delaware defy being placed in north or south categories.

Maryland is certainly not northeast. I would go with mid-Atlantic, but being south of the Mason-Dixon line, I would classify it as a southern state before I would call it northeast.

Maybe re-tweak that Maryland clue? That "northeast" clue is misleading.

Question on the population density-- according to 2015 data, no state is over 500/km2. New Jersey's the highest at 470. Did you mean per square mile? The count holds if you change to over 200 km2.

Whoops! Yep looks like I'm using mi2 data for states, got confused as use km for countries! Thanks for the spot.

While I did eventually get it - I do have to gripe a tad about the "coastal" clue. The final answer of that section does indeed have a coast - albeit a lake one. Perhaps changing the definition to "is not on the ocean coast" or something to that effect would be helpful.

Thanks! I've updated it to say "doesn't border an ocean" rather than coastal, should be clearer. :)

I love it when the first answer you try for a category gets you all the way through! Doesn't happen very often, but it's nice when it does :)

For me it always seems to be the opposite: I have to think of a new one with every new bit of information...

Nice quiz! The Maryland as north-east or mid-atlantic was slightly confusing, but I got it. US States are better quizzes than countries because there are 196 countries and only fifty states. Consider this suggestion.

There are loads of quizzes about US states. And about countries. Everyone's happy!

For non-Americans, the cesus regions clues are something that give little information. Maybe try to avoid them in future installments? Anyway, I learnt something out of this quiz

Yes I won't be using them after this one. The goal was to provide a way of differentiating states physically geographically, but the Census regions are too arbitrarily defined for that.

I think the census regions are good, actually. You just need to link a map in the description.

I agree. I can see that it's useful to have rigidly defined geographical zones, but it comes across as a bit of a cop-out since nobody outside the US will be aware of it at all. Great quizzes in this series though, we appreciate your hard work!

Thought I actually caught an error with Arkansas not working for the pink/lower right. Then I noticed elevation was in meters and not feet. Oops.

Really difficult as a Non-American, and also slightly confusing because I am somewhat guessing.
Liked the idea though, would like to see this format in something a little bit easier/general knowledge.

the US census bureau does indeed place maryland in the northeast region, i'd definitely word that a little better

It's in the South Atlantic region. Maybe you saw MA (Massachusetts) in the North East region.
