NewMexiKen thinks I should just quit blogging and defer to Mental Floss, “Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix.”
Try their Weekend Genius Challenge — win a T-shirt! Here’s the description of the quiz:
Below are five numbered entries. Each entry is an alphabetical list of states that are unique in some way; they have something specific in common. You try to figure out what that “something” is. It might have to do with geography, symbols, history or cities, but could be anything at all.
The key word is “only.” An example entry: Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon. The answer? They’re the only states whose names begin with the letter “O.” Easy, huh? Well, they’re not all that easy!
NewMexiKen got one right off, then two more, then after awhile another, but the last not yet at all.
Update: My answers seem not to be what they’re looking for. I thought I had it on my second try.
Update update: Hey, I won a T-shirt — mostly because they are good folks at Mental Floss because I didn’t really follow the rules. I’ve just discovered the site in the past few days, and it’s filled with fun knowledge-trivia based stuff!
I used to get the magazine. It was cute.
