Oh well, some schools don't focus on geography at all. I'm sure if we were to put a blank map up and have people label it (without looking at a map) many would not be able to do it.

This is often used as a trick question where the answer is Maine, because of all the inlets and islands along its coast the "developed" coastline length (the web site above calls it the tidal coastline) is longer even than Alaska's.

I would believe that if you're talking about the contiguous 48, but remember, Alaska has no shortage of inlets and islands either. That's why the 1048 number quoted above seems so low to me. I wouldn't be surprised if it was ten times that much.

I'd miss soo many out of the country. I think I could do the USA 100% without a problem.

Since I took a geography class the whole WORLD has changed. Theres "new" countries. Ones that used to be there are no longer there. I do agree though we should focus more on learning this stuff, it is kinda important. :D

kinda like these kids :roll:
Ever see Jay Leno "Jay-walking"? Yes, Virginia, people are that stupid. :dunce: At 18-24 years of age, I wouldn't even call them "kids". :-?

And people wonder why this country is a mess... 11% of it's citizens can't even find it on a map!!!

Right now I feel like that guy in Office Space: "Ever have one of those days when you just want to :uzi: ?"

Probably and easy one for most of us, but what state has the highest peak east of the Mississippi? What is its name? What is it the summit elevation?



Answer:
North Carolina; Mount Mitchell - 6684 feet - (highest point east of the Mississippi River, in the Black Mountain range)I knew the state but not its name or elevation
