Quite tough imo, but maybe not for everyone ;)
1) Which is the only US state to have territory completely surrounded by other states?
2) Which historical figure is James Fenimore Cooper's Last of the Mohicans apparently based on?
3) Guthrie was formerly the capital of which US state?

By:

|
|
By:
don't quite get q1. surely they all have territory completely surrounded by other states, except alaska and hawaii
|
|
By:
coastal states wont be completely sorrounded by other states
|
|
By:
but there is more than one state that is non-coastal surely
|
|
By:
About 12 or 13 IMO even if you discount those on the Canadian & Mexican borders + those bordering the lakes.
|
|
By:
Or are we also discounting those states bordered by rivers at some point?
|
|
By:
dunno, shame betfair is banned in the usa, shocking
|
|
By:
It is a badly worded question but the answer is Kentucky, look up the kentucky bend
|
|
By:
four states are actually commonwealths so any bordering kentucky, massachusetts, pennsylvania and virginia should be discounted.
|
|
By:
I would have guessed Nebraska
|
|
By:
oddly enough, I'd just arrived there on wiki - quite interesting.
|
|
By:
Sorry, to clarify Q1 there is 1 state that has a piece of it's land that can only be accessed by entering from a surrounded state and not through the state it belongs to
|
|
By:
vg kentuckians. never heard of it.
|
|
By:
That is even less comprehensible to me :)

2. Think 'Hawkeye' was Dan'l Boone. Not sure about Chingachcook :(
|
|
By:
And which is the oldest ballpark in the USA?
|
|
By:
I read ages ago that Chicago derives from Chingachgook, no idea if that's true.
|

By:
yep well done paddy
|
|
By:
No idea 'bout the state capital. And what is it with the fascination with them in these quizzes on 'ere! :D
|
|
By:
3 is oklahoma
|
|
By:
Easter that is the correct answer, certainly the oldest Major League ballpark. The oldest professional ballpark is Rickwood Field in Birminghham Alabama, but I did mean Fenway Park.
|
|
By:
interesting, i didn't know that about the kentucky bend.
|
|
By:
two years older than wrigley field apparently. i' ll get to fenway some day but i can't imagine it being as good as the friendly confines. still, i'd rather listen to sweet caroline than go cu** go anyday!
|
|
By:
what's the connection between Austin, Texas and Abba??
|
|
By:
Easter, I've been to Wrigley as well, they are both wonderful places, full of atmosphere. Mind you, if you are over 5'9, the seats at Fenway are very uncomfortable.
|
|
By:
Sorry Hank.. can't imagine! :)
|
|
By:
I love Wrigley even tho I'm a Brewers fan. Cubs fans are annoying tho. As a total Yankee-hater I definitely have a soft spot for the RedSox and would love to go to Fenway Park.
