She got it by adding 5+8, while I got it by adding 4+9 based on what they taught when I was in school, but we got the same answer.
@Ionic777 there is no controversy. Pluto is not a planet. It hasn't been a planet for 15 years. Have you ever heard of Eris? Eris is another dwarf planet in our solar system that is actually MORE MASSIVE than Pluto, but because we discovered it after we started defining them as dwarf planets nobody has heard of it, and there is no "controversy" about whether or not it is a planet.

@@1941blkwidow I think you might be thinking of a different question. I was talking about the number of states that border the Pacific Ocean. Alaska bordering Russia doesn't matter. I just wasn't sure if there were other mainland states besides Washington, Oregon, and California that bordered it. But I guessed correctly
Personally I was debating whether Alaska is considered to have a border with Russia. Not a land border, obviously. But there's no international water between the two.
"Number of countries that border the United States" is questionable because the US and Russia do share a water border (i.e. territorial waters of each country meet). In fact, the Diomede Islands (one island belonging to each country) are only 2 1/2 miles apart! I wonder if his hesitation was to question if Jeopardy was counting Russia?
@@JameyMcQueen australia could be considered to border indonesia (water australia controls does border with water indonesia controls). specifying land-border just makes things more clear that it's not maritime-border. although i think you'd be wrong in both ways if you said australia borders the phillipines if someone asked me i'd say the US didn't border russia, but if someone said it did i'd see their point.
When borders are mentioned without being further specified, it refers to land borders and the name of the body of water, not the country owning it. So Florida borders the Carribean, not Cuba.
