By Way of Which States (Without Peeking)! Quiz

Answer: Kansas

There are several routes that will allow you to get from one ocean to the other in only seven states, but none of them include Kansas. They are: Virginia-Kentucky or Tennessee-Missouri or Arkansas-Oklahoma or Texas-New Mexico-Arizona-and California. The east-west length of Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee allow you to get a third of the way across the country in only two steps. Texas is much longer east to west than Oklahoma, but they both get you to New Mexico.

Answer: three

There are two routes that allow for this trip in only three states. They are Idaho-Nevada-Arizona and Idaho-Utah-Arizona. I suppose if you hopped from Utah to New Mexico at the Four Corners junction you could go Idaho-Utah-New Mexico.

Answer: False

The states are Maine-New Hampshire-Massachusetts-Rhode Island- Connecticut- New York- New Jersey- Delaware- Maryland- Virginia - North Carolina- South Carolina- Georgia - and Florida. The Liberty Bell is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and while Philadelphia is a major port, it does not sit on the Atlantic Coast and instead handles ship traffic on the Delaware River.

Answer: Hoover, Truman, Clinton

Your drive will take you through Minnesota -Iowa- Missouri- Arkansas- and Louisiana. Herbert Hoover was from Iowa, Harry Truman from Missouri, and Bill Clinton from Arkansas. All three have presidential libraries in their respective home states.

Answer: Illinois

The five states are Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi. The two states associated with Lincoln are Illinois, where he lived as an adult, and Kentucky, where he was born. Of these, Illinois has the longest west border created by the river and Kentucky has the shortest.

Answer: five

They are Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. As I understand it, when Mississippi and Alabama were created, they were laid out so that both states were able to have port cities on the Gulf of Mexico; Gulfport and Biloxi, Mississippi and Mobile, Alabama.

Answer: No

There are four different routes that allow you to get from Chicago to Miami by passing through only five states. Two of them pass through Kentucky. But you can by-pass Kentucky altogether if you leave Illinois and go to Missouri. Since Missouri extends farther south than Kentucky and borders Tennessee, it is possible avoid the Bluegrass State.

The route would be Illinois to Missouri to Tennessee to either Alabama or Georgia and then into Florida.

Answer: Independence Hall, The Gateway Arch, and Carlsbad Caverns

There are two routes that allow this drive through only nine states. They are: New York, to Pennsylvania, to West Virginia or Ohio, to Kentucky, to Missouri, to Oklahoma, to New Mexico, to Arizona, and into California. You can see the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, PA, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO, and Carlsbad Caverns in Carlsbad, NM. All the others sites are worth seeing, but they take you way off the route.

Answer: Cheyenne, Nashville, and Montgomery

This is a bit trickier as you have to look for a combination of most distance south and east in single states. There are two routes that will complete the route in only eight states: Washington, to Idaho, to Wyoming, to Nebraska, to Missouri, to Tennessee, to either Alabama or Georgia, and into Florida.

These options allow you to visit Cheyenne, WY, Nashville, TN, and Montgomery, AL. There a several routes that will get you from Seattle to Miami in nine states and lots that will get you there in ten.

Answer: Maine

Maine is the only state that borders only one other state, that being New Hampshire. If I start or finish in any other state I will have to drive through New Hampshire twice.
