2868: "Label the States"

Post by somitomi »

Title text: Even with a blank map, a lot of people can only name 45-50 of the 64 states.

This reminds me of the time I saw a similar joke in a Discord server, but I didn't really notice it was messed up so I just tried to actually label the states

To put in an extra state between CA and OR was quite obvious, in a way, then I started to count the "states" ;-). Well, afterwards, I decided to draw a list of the 50 states and I think I was quite good (for a European), the only ones I did not remember were Idaho and Wyoming.

To be fair, a lot of people don't remember Idaho or Wyoming. This map obviously includes E. Indiana, Central Carolina, and Newer Hampshire.

Easier to label the states in this one which only has 41 states.
