Without the helpful labels and pretty colors, maps can be confusing. We’ve cropped bits and pieces of a U.S. map. Can you tell where the American flag is located?

  2. 12/12. Easiest quiz ever! But fun. Do Europe next!

  3. Tracie — You read my mind! You can expect a sequel next Tuesday.

  4. Yay, 100%! A little too easy, I think. I would have used smaller pieces of the map so there are fewer visual clues.

  5. Missed 1, but not sure that it counts. Isn’t Vermont just like New Hampshire only upside down? and vice a versa?

  6. I can’t believe I got the Arkansas one wrong! What was I thinking?! Oh well, not bad considering how warped I feel right now.

  7. 12/12; I agree a bit too easy. Maybe instead of 2 choices, there should have been 4

  8. We had a puzzle of the U.S. when I was a kid. Daddy would take the pieces, scramble them, then hold them up…always with the backs to us…upside down….sideways…My brother and I had to name the state, the capitol and the bordering states. I haven’t even thought of this little exercise since I was six years old. Boy!! Did his lesson pay off a hundred years later.
    Glad to know so many of us know our country as well as we do. Nice to see the results…even if some thought it was ‘easy’. I found it whimsical…and nostalgic.

  9. P.S. Yes. I got 100 per cent also.

  10. Sweet sassy molassy, 12 outta 12.

  11. 12/12 here too. I guess I was paying attention during Geography class back in grade school.

  12. Unlike most of the rest of you, I always did get Arkansas and Missouri mixed up… no different here… sigh…
