Yes. Capitals and approximate populations too. A good number of the governors, highways, natural and man-made landmarks to boot. ~String
Let's say you went back to 1400 and had to explain to the natives where the iron stores and gold stores were. Considering maps were impossible back then, could you direct the natives towards American natural resources to say, come into the Iron Age?
There were no factories or European people living here then, Europeans came here in late 1492 and had only one little township they were living on. The Native Americans didn't need any maps because they already knew where everything important to them was located and remembered it in their minds. Native Americans didn't need maps for they lived off of the land and if they didn't remember where food and water was they would die.
Shit, there only were 48 states in my day and we didn't have no stinkin' pansy "satellite images." I kin draw the dang map fer ya! Capitals, maybe not. I could also do the Canadian provinces. Probably the countries of Europe too, athough they change them so damn often it's hard to keep up. Is a place like Montenegro even big enough to see on a satellite image? But quick, which state has the greatest number of adjacent states? And what are they? (This is a trick question.)
Nope. Washington, for example, only borders on Oregon and Idaho. And then there's Alaska and Hawaii... BZZZT!
I thought we were only talking about the lower 48?.. And the lower 48 are all contiguous..Right? No borders, they all connect.
Without looking it up I say my state- Pennsylvania. It's the only land-locked of the original 13 colonies and shares a water border with Canada.
I guess I didn't express the question clearly. Which state has the greatest number of states with which it is contiguous--the greatest number with which it shares a border? Example: Nevada has five. California, Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Arizona.
Tenn. and Mo. both border 8 states... But, you said it's a "trick question"...So, I'm confused.:shrug:
