I grew up in The Old Line State (from the Mason-Dixon line).

30/50. I missed some that I knew once I saw each of the names later in the round.

^ Oh man you can skip?

 

:lol2: Yes, stumbled onto that. My score would have definitely been worse without skipping ones I wasn't sure of.

 

I went back and did it a second time and still didn't get them all. 48/50. :irked:

Looking back at things...there are more than a few that I just scratch my head over. Like without knowing that there are apparently a significant amount of silver mines in Nevada, I couldn't have ever told you it would be "The Silver State". I could have probably guessed that nickname for about half of the states that I missed. I did admittedly have Washington's "Evergreen State" nickname and Maine's "Pine Tree State" nicknames reversed. At least those two don't make me feel completely stupid.

It's their state bird. Also, ever seen how many of them are hanging around the delta?

Didn't know that but it makes sense. I would have thought crawdad or gators first.

Yeah, I think either of those would have made just as much sense, really.

Think NBA.

Think NBA.

That's the only reason I got it.

If you've read John Grisham books, you'd have gotten that one. Or seen Denzel movies. :thumb:

 

I got 34 and thought I'd do better.

25 and I guessed Oregon for about 8 of them and felt like an idiot when Beaver State came up. I didn't realize you could skip either.
