Can you identify the 50 United States of America?

[MJE]

A more challenging game would be to get any American(s) to name any country outside of their own! :P

     An interesting (if just as off-topic) game might be to give outlines of all nations of the world, if those can be found anywhere, and ask people (not just Americans) to identify them.
     I think it might be easier than identifying the states of the U.S., although I'm guessing there'd be a few obstinate outlines that few would identify. It would probably be easier if all were drawn to the same scale, which I'm pretty sure the states of the U.S. aren't in those outlines.

Yes, I reckon you are right.

We haven't finished identifying the 50 US states yet!

I have a couple more similar ones up my sleeve for when this one is complete.
'Countries of Europe' and 'Countries of Asia'. I'll prepare the Europe one ready, so get swotting up in advance

[Courtenay]

I think 21 is Alabama.

[Boatbuilder]

Yes it is, Courtenay. Just Arkansas, Connecticut, Kansas, New Mexico & Wisconsin to go now - numbers 23,26,29,39 & 40 - but which is which?

[Courtenay]

I'll say 39 is Wisconsin and 40 is New Mexico... and I THINK 26 is Connecticut.

[Boatbuilder]

That just leaves the last two, Courtenay.

Just the two to go. Doesn't anybody know them?

[MJE]

     With only two left, even a guess would have a 50 percent chance of being correct; but I do have a hunch that Kansas is one of the close-to-rectangular states, so I will suggest 23 for Kansas - so it's a bit more than a guess. That leaves only 29 for Arkansas.
     Unlike Kansas,I do not have even a hunch about Arkansas or the remaining shape. It looks like a coastline on the right of it, so I was trying to think of eastern states - but none are left. Then I realized that it was probably a river forming the eastern boundary.

That's them, Anne Gracie. Here's the completed image.

Thanks to those who took part.

The next one - European Countries - follows in a new topic.
