9. I submit that the question is stupid
Edited on Wed May-24-06 08:02 PM by Twillig
Besides, it's a goddam technicality. A Trick question!

See here at the 'answer':

"Florida is not correct.
Georgia covers 57,919 square miles of land. By comparison, Michigan(Twillig: what the fuck does Michigan have to do with a GOT DAMN THING?) has 56,110 square miles of land and 38,575 square miles of Great Lakes waters. Florida covers 53,997 square miles of land, and 11,761 square miles of water."

So they don't include the area of the lakes.

BULLSHIT!

10. Yeah I challenge that question as well
At best it's a trick question. They ask which state east of the Mississipi has the most land. Georgia does have a greater amount of dry land than Florida and they didn't just ask which state was larger.

Good Catch. I assumed that I was just wrong and that Georgia indeed was larger. Bullshit though.

6. So what question is hanging you up?
Edited on Wed May-24-06 07:54 PM by spindrifter
Looks like most are screwing up on the first--which is not an easy one.

8. You answered 90% of questions correctly

3. What is the state capital of Kentucky?
Lexington is not correct.
Frankfort, the home of Kentucky State University, is the capital.
