I feel like people who live in Nebraska have the biggest advantage, because you just kinda know what all the states next to yours are, and that's probably the most ambiguous part of the map.
I love that Mr. "I can tell what country Im in on Geoguesser by the freckle on that man's foreskin" can't find huge states (not that I could do any better. I would probably miss my own state)
I love that the same people who are amazed I know it's Poland because I see Polish are also somehow flabbergasted I don't know the exact GPS co-ordinates of Missouri
Any states that share a first letter with another state and isnt on the coast are the exact same states in my book. Idaho, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana are all one
@@Scroolewse True. The M-states too, they used to all jumble in my head - Montana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Maine. The only one I used to think of separately was Mississippi, probably because I had a vague idea where it was!
@@KubickQ Because they also begin with M? I've now learnt all the states and where they are, but only recently. Before, they all meant the same thing to me, and for most states that was nothing. I didn't know where most were or anything about them, which makes them all very forgettable. 50 arbitrary names is a lot to learn, they blur into one, and if they start with the same letter they blur even more. Generally before, if someone said "I visited Michigan" to me all that would translate as is "I went to a state beginning with M" but I would’ve been hard-pressed to remember which. For me, 50 element symbols or 50 ASOIAF Targaryen characters may be a lot easier than for you for example, because these are things relevant or interesting to me. As of this year, Michigan means a bit more to me since their news with intruding government buildings, and plots to kidnap the governor, and their important role in the election. Even now, literally the only thing I know about Maine is it's the one in the top right and I think a singer I like was born there.
i’m sure most 5th grader know more than him because he is literally playing a jigsaw puzzle and guessing most of them. Even with an empty map with outline, I doubt he would get more than 50% correct on the first try. I agree with them doing the puzzle but watching a less intelligent person on specific subject for knowledge is total waste of time.
"These are impossible" when the state is Maine. It's literally one of the easiest states, the edge of the state is almost entirely along the border of the country AND it's right adjacent to Canada. Egg pls.
Bruh, that's like saying "What do you mean Estonia is hard to place? It's right there between Latvia and the Gulf of Finland!". Ofc it's easy if you KNOW where it is :DD
@@MiruyaChan He knew Washington was one corner, it's a shame he didn't know Maine was the other corner - it was my key starting point for all of the Northeast when I tried it. But yeah, if you don't know it you don't know it.
@@MiruyaChan It's easy compared to a lot of the states he could do. It's just surprising that he can place the jumble of rectangles in the middle of the US relatively easily but not a state that's in a corner and borders Canada
You should do some of the quizes on Sporcle about the states (there are easier ones ). I memorized all of them just by doing these quizes and they are pretty fun too.

In honor of the NHL season starting in like 2 weeks you should make a tier list ranking all NHL teams from your favorite to least favorite for that pog rich variety content
Earlier in the video you mentioned Colorado having more of a pacific northwest culture, "Pennsyltucky" is same line of thought. Hillbilly areas of Pennsylvania which are more 'culturally similar' to Kentucky.
i tried playing it myself and you know what, the fact that the page jumps a little bit when you get it wrong makes it borderline unplayable because you're like "wait isn't that where i clicked" but you can't tell because the page jumped and now your mouse isn't over the actual spot you clicked. but even aside from that there were many many times where it told me i had gotten it wrong, and i swear to god i clicked on the exact place it highlighted.
As a Tennessean, who has lived in WV, I love this video so much. Like not just the WV Ls, but every time the egg goes over TN, he pauses, and the gears stop, and I can here his brain going "I know where TN is but I don't want to go out that way. I'd rather fail on WV a million times." Pogged AF for no good reason lol
As you should lol. Internal country mapping obviously isn’t as important for people who don’t live there. People should know basic enough geography to know where different countries are
@@sarakatelyn8923 can you name all African countries? I'm not from US, but I don't mind when ppl don't know where which country is, as long as they have some rough idea. Nothing wrong about it
@@Suavek69 I think they meant that the USA is literally just one country. Knowing all the states inside some random country is useless unless you live there, but knowing all the countries in an entire continent is useful for everyone.
Yeah. Delware at least is placed the corner of its little peninsula. Rhode island you have to find just the right spot between Connecticut and Massachusetts and then click without allowing your mouse to drift more than two pixels
As a Pennsylvanian we call it Pennsyltucky because there are a lot of country folk in the mountain areas and Kentucky is known widely as a hillbilly state. It's really the whole Appalachian region that's full of rural people with a similar culture
on sporcle map quizzes like this the screen jolts to where the location actually was which is why it seemed like you were off by a couple of nanometers each time
Me watching him circle the Midwest with his mouse and saying, “this part of America, they don’t talk about on the news” while living in Iowa when there was a whole crazy wind storm that had power out in some city’s for weeks and the news pretty much never talked about it
Here is how I remember the southwest state. Colorado River goes from Colorado, and through Utah and enters Arizona where the Grand Canyon is, and it never ever touches New Mexico because that the rio grande River toward Texas to the east. I have a simpler rhythm for remembering the states
As someone I consider way above average at geography I'm honestly surprised he skipped Maine so many times.
Agreed maine and new york felt like freebies to me haha
We get it. You vape.
He didn't remember the Maine
Agreed. Maine is probably the easiest one to get
Massachusetts too with cape cod
This man really just said that Maine was impossible to find
Then has the audacity to say you need the outline first
its the most Canadian state
As a Canadian I can confirm he is right, I doubt Maine would come to mind for most Canadians if they were asked to list the states.
Maine is actually just south cananda
And after looking up Maine I can understand why that would seem strange.
