In each group, name any answer which matches the first category to reveal the second category, then name any answer which applies to both categories to reveal a third, and so on.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
Liked the idea though, would like to see this format in something a little bit easier/general knowledge.
