Probably not, because I have never been to Colorado

It's hard to visualise because a lot of Coloradans who look obese are actually big boned. You can't slim down bone.

Yeah, sorry. Funny though that the obesity rate in colorado is almost exactly 25% - South Park was often very accurate!

Oof, the only one I got wrong was the "tax" one. I figured more Democratic states would have higher taxes, so I tried literally every Democratic state except one of the most obvious ones, New York.

I didn't expect Hawaii to be low in obesity.

It's mostly due to the ethnic makeup of the state, with Asians being the highest percentage of the population, and African-Americans being a very small percentage. Native Hawaiians are quite likely to be obese, but only comprise 9.9% of the population.

I live in Hawaii and I got like 10. Some were really easy but others like Colorado were hard. I never knew there were states with less obesity rates than us.

Very interesting that countries with high urban populations have the fewest traffic deaths per capita. That is not something I expected.

Really? At least here in Australia, there are far more road deaths outside cities than inside cities.

Most fatal accidents are at high speeds, which are generally harder to attain in a city where there's lots of traffic, lights, etc. Cities almost certainly have more traffic accidents, but they're a lot less likely to be fatal if you were only going at 30 miles per hour.

Trying California, Alaska, and New York on each question gets you almost all of them, pro tip.
