There have been many comments about one particular question in this quiz that involves the word 'east' that people are certain is wrong. It isn't. The answer is, however, counterintuitive. For an explanation of this, check out the 180° meridian line.
@@wokenpancake The Prime Meridian is the 0 degree line of longitude that stretches from the North Pole to the South Pole, passing through Europe and Africa on its way. The antimeridian sits on the opposite side of the planet i.e. the one related to this question.
Question 43 and 44 should be switched around. 43: Maine is the furthest state to the east and 44: Alaska is the furthest state to the west. Whoever had 100% correct, better check that again.
Just curious why the picture for Texas is of the Grand Canyon? Seemed odd to me. And, not that it matters, but the 1812 Overture has nothing to do with the United States. The overture was written in 1880 by Russian composer Tchaikovsky to commemorate the successful Russian defense against Napoleon's invading Grande Armée in 1812. I mean, yea, it’s an ok piece, but I’ve always wondered why it’s played on the 4th of July or any other events to commemorate the US. Not sure…… buts it’s ok. I’m still looking into that whole thing of Alaska being the farthest east. I was always under the impression that the islands on the other side of the international date line still belonged to Russia, but I’m sure I’m probably wrong about that. Nice trick question. Still curious about Florida being hotter than Nevada too. Hmmm.
My thoughts, exactly. Surely Dvorak's From The New World is the most appropriate; or some of the great American composers' music. Colonel Bogey at the beginning???
4:45 100% accurate. While driving on the highway in West Virginia, someone in a van was driving with the sliding door all the way open and the right blinker on for the 4 miles we were near each other
I liked this but let me say... those were some pretty weird questions after #8 haha I was expecting history and geography, not... “who’s happy” 🤷♀️ sorry?? Haha
@@davidcruz8667 True. The International Date Line was amended in order not to separate politically coherent groups of islands. In geographical reality, though, the Aleutians stretch out to approx. 171°East.
@@inLmgb correct. Politically Alaska is included as part of the Western hemisphere. There are also a few areas down the International Date Line that have been adjusted to reflect main provenance.
We don't know very much about Russia either. We'd have much better educational systems if scholars controlled the historical content and not governments. They tend to make it seem like everything is positive and they don't admit mistakes. That's a shame because it would actually make our countries stronger and better.
Sorry that some of you think that Main is farthest East. Alaska is truly both farthest East and West. In the Aleutian Islands the western most island is farther West than the Western most part of Hawaii and the next island is across the International Date Line making it the Eastern most point in the US -- yes, still in Alaska.
Missed the first 11 'cause I was marching around the house with the kids....11-on we were conducting, waving french flags or doing our own silly dance interpretations..... smartest.. semi adult..12.. made us go through again and take notes...then....MORE MUSIC, DANCE.....naps....DINNER!!!... retest in am.....AND! HOMEMADE CANNONS!!! wish us luck🤪
@@kristenwhite2701 Thanks Kristen, the vast majority of Horseshoe falls are in Canada. So saying it is split is stretching it somewhat but I take your point.
@@kristenwhite2701 I can't argue with that. Perhaps the Canadian Armed Forces should just invade New York state and take say as far as Buffalo. Just think the Bills would become the first Canadian NFL team!
How much does QUIZ HUB know about the states of the USA? Apparently not as much as they think they do. At 13:19 Quiz Hub used a background photo of the Chicago skyline for the state of Michigan, apparently thinking the photo is of the Detroit skyline, which Detroit is in Michigan. Use that Chicago skyline photo for Illinois next time, as that's where Chicago is. Just a suggestion. ;)
Alaska cannot be the furthest east AND the furthest west in the U.S. It is the furthest west, but, I believe that Maine is the furthest east. Also, what has the "1812 Overture" have to do with the U.S.? This work is written to honor a Russian victory. Nest time find some U.S. music to accompany your video.
This would be a great quiz if you could actually see the answers. Only those with a red tint were readable. The black and white were impossible! I'll try it one more time. No score yet! jwb
I didn’t do very well, but I definitely learned a lot! Most of the questions made say “Huh?” So... obviously I need to do some research! I loved the selection of music! 👍🏼 1812 Overture was a perfect choice for this video! Well done sir!!!

I feel bad for West Virginia!
Very interesting, but I actually loved listening to the music.
If you're in another country, then yes maybe Alaska would be farthest but if you live in the US, Maine is the farthest east.
If you're in the US, Maine is the furthest east. If you're doing this from another country, then it will probably be different.
Um..Maine will always be the easternmost state..no matter where you are playing!
I am a Canadian , I got most right ,except for the happiest & unhappiest!
I scored less than 50% and I am a naturalized citizen of the USA. True citizens might score even less. That's the beauty of being an American.
Alaska is not farthest east, it is in fact farthest West northwest to be exact.So pleased to make your acquaintance. Thank you.
Actually, 1 Island part of Alaska lies right next to the 180 degrees line on the other side.
wrong, but thanks for playing. crack a book.

You´re totally right my dear friend.
40/50.
West Virginia, the unhappiest state....well that`s almost heaven.
John Denver probably never went there!
Didn't do very well, but as a Brit I did this to learn more about the States. Knew all about Alaska and the international date line though!
i got 42 out of 50 and i'm not even american :)

43 correct. Live in South Africa and have never been to the USA.
46-4 not too bad for an older dude 😎

Tje hoover dam is on the Nevada-Arizona state border so both are correct.

How can Alaska but the state the most eastern and western state? Someone stuffed up!
Surprised myself, did very well. Some educated guesses and a couple of lucky ones. Surprised by a couple involving Alaska and Wyoming.
#49...Hoover Dam lies on both sides (NV and AZ)
I was able to get 31 questions correctly answered. ☺️🇺🇸
Great!
Yes, Alaska sticks out further West than Hawaii but is not even close to being the furthest state East.
You forgot about the Aleutian Islands which stretch almost all the way to Northern Siberia.
@@inLmgb the International Date Line clears the Aleutians. Alaska is still West, not East.

I don’t understand how Alaska is East, the other mentioned state is West. Should be the opposite. Check that!
Got 45 out of 50 and not even American. Also note that one of the background pictures was of Niagara Falls which are really Canadian.
No, split. Sorry. New York & Canada. Cross one side to the other change $

Split meaning in both countries, doesn’t matter how much. Been to both sides. Worked for the question.

West Virginia took an awful beating.
Uniformed subjective questions
50/50, big fan quiz hub
That was definitely a learning experience no fit state I have to do that again
Why is the Michigan picture a photo of Chicago? It would make more sense if it was Detroit maybe or even Tequanamem Falls in the UP.
I am from India. Nice Video, take care.
Kept showing the state of Michigan with the Chicago Skyline.
did very well

That was fun.

44/50. Missed the KFC one and thought Hawaii was the westernmost state.
I know. How is Alaska east? What Am I missing?
@@Miblive I think they are talking about some of the Aleutian Islands being on the other side of the international date line.
Your correct. Smart one🤗
35/50
fairly easy to me, the Alaska as easternmost one I got too... Alaska has territory at the start of the International date line
Side note... I'm from Michigan ... don't use a shot of Chicago as your Michigan pic (lot's of options - just not that one!) #47

John Denver was proud of West Virginia at least .

How is Alaska furthest east but furthest west at the same time? How was the first kfc in Utah? It’s has Kentucky in the name.
