Answer to Geography Quiz
Answer to quick geography quiz:
I guess this one was too easy. I only tripped up two people, while
about 5 got it right.
The southernmost US state is Hawaii. The most northern, western and
eastern state is Alaska. The Aleutian Islands cross 180 degrees
longitude, putting part of Alaska in the eastern hemisphere.
The American day still starts on the island of Guam, however, as the
international date line detours to the west of the Aleutian
Islands.
