United States Quiz

[@QuizHub]

There have been many comments about one particular question in this quiz that involves the word 'east' that people are certain is wrong. It isn't. The answer is, however, counterintuitive. For an explanation of this, check out the 180° meridian line.

[@wokenpancake]

Quiz Hub it’s most known as the Prime Meridian.

@@wokenpancake The Prime Meridian is the 0 degree line of longitude that stretches from the North Pole to the South Pole, passing through Europe and Africa on its way. The antimeridian sits on the opposite side of the planet i.e. the one related to this question.

How much does QUIZ HUB know about the states of the USA? Apparently not as much as they think they do. At 13:19 Quiz Hub used a background photo of the Chicago skyline for the state of Michigan, apparently thinking the photo is of the Detroit skyline, which Detroit is in Michigan. Use that Chicago skyline photo for Illinois next time, as that's where Chicago is. Just a suggestion. ;)

[@darrellleverkuhn2204]

Just curious why the picture for Texas is of the Grand Canyon? Seemed odd to me. And, not that it matters, but the 1812 Overture has nothing to do with the United States. The overture was written in 1880 by Russian composer Tchaikovsky to commemorate the successful Russian defense against Napoleon's invading Grande Armée in 1812. I mean, yea, it’s an ok piece, but I’ve always wondered why it’s played on the 4th of July or any other events to commemorate the US. Not sure…… buts it’s ok. I’m still looking into that whole thing of Alaska being the farthest east. I was always under the impression that the islands on the other side of the international date line still belonged to Russia, but I’m sure I’m probably wrong about that. Nice trick question. Still curious about Florida being hotter than Nevada too. Hmmm.

[@oastie3]

My thoughts, exactly. Surely Dvorak's From The New World is the most appropriate; or some of the great American composers' music. Colonel Bogey at the beginning???

[@unclejim2048]

Although the 1812 Overture was written in 1880, I believe in debuted in December 1882.
