[Scuba]

1. I missed five, four of which related to flags.

Are flags "geography"?

[petronius]

2. 18/20, and as a professional geographer I agree:

flags are not geography!

[Stuart G]

10. Flags are not geograpy...flags..are flags.....8 of 20

I got 8 of 20..and I used to well.............teach geography...but not that kind of geography....so..

.

4 questions on Flags...are .......?????? don't count...as far as I say....

[femmocrat]

3. UGH. 10 out of 20!

Always go with your first hunch! LOL

[valerief]

9. Me, too. Too many damn flag questions. Who the hell knows flags

but semiphorians?

4. 18/20

I agree, not entirely geography. Study of flags is vexillology.

5. I got 14 out of 20, but there's two of you and only one of me.

And don't give me any rubbish about half of you being a mouse. He was a smart mouse!!!!



Love that story, BTW.

6. I got 16 correct.

Here is an interesting take on question 17. Which state has the most shoreline?
Minnesota has more shoreline than California, Florida, and Hawaii, combined. (90,000 miles of shoreline.)

[petronius]

8. Interesting point! The question does ask for "coastline" specifically,

but I admit I would not think of the Lakes if I was asked an open-ended question about "shoreline". That's an awful lot of shore you've got...

[Stuart G]

11. I once read that Michigan..has the most coast...but that is

on the Great Lakes.....not, on the oceans ...............

[Jenoch]

12. I just attempted to look up Michigan's shoreline.

"Michigan has 3,126 miles of Great Lakes shoreline (more fresh water coastline than any other state)." I don't know why they are claiming coastline. The dictionary definition of coastline is "a line that forms the boundary between the land and the ocean or a lake" so I guess that includes shoreline. If it does, Minnesota's 90,000 miles is the most shoreline in the lower 48. If Alaska's coastline (along the oceans) and their inland lake shoreline were to be counted, then Alaska would likely have 20 times more shoreline and coastline than Minnesota.

7. 14 of 20....

Obviously I'm a bit rusty.

[Xyzse]

13. 15 out of 20

That Gold and Orange one is hard to deal with.
They look too close to the same color.

Regardless, I guessed any way, since I pretty much guessed on all the flag questions.

[Bucky]

14. 19 out of 20. But that includes on lucky guess.

The one I missed I missed cause I got the Denmark and Norway flags crossed in my mind

Only buildings I see are mine, and other than guests now and then -

only person I see is just myself as I walk by one of my mirrors.

Momma Nature gives me great views every day.

and peaceful, -

only time I hear a vehicle is when company arrives.

Birds wake me up every morning now,

gotta luv that!
