    I think I played that same game back in the day. And yeah, when you have the context added by building out from the distinctly shaped border states, it’s fairly easy to get almost all of them, but I don’t expect the average American to be sure if they’re looking at Indiana or Illinois based on nothing but the shape of its outline.

    It was mostly a joke, I didn’t think people would get so worked up.

    But yeah, I’ll stand by the assertion that most Americans aren’t great at geography, and some states have non-distinct shapes that aren’t rectangles.

    As if anyone outside those states could distinguish between unlabelled outlines of Virginia, Kentucky, and North Carolina.

    Or New Hampshire and Vermont.

    I guess Connecticut pulled a pro gamer move by being a tiny rectangle.
