Well, I got just one out of ten, but I don’t understand how Alaska is the most easterly state? Google says “Maine” with West Quoddy Head. It adds that the westernmost point of the US is Cape Wrangell on Attu Island, one of the Aleutians, which are all part of Alaska.

The Aleutian Islands cross longitude 180°, so Alaska can be considered the easternmost state as well as the westernmost.

Thanks for the geography lesson, Andrew. I missed your first post and was therefore able to cheat. 🙂
