So I'm doing well on the 50 states quiz. It's really hard because the countdown of points is so quick. You really need to have a fast finger and quick recall and/or deduction* to get the 1300 points needed to unlock the next level. On one I got 1776, which I thought was neat.
*By deduction, I mean the flag and seal levels. I didn't know many flags before going in. Texas because of their different identity priorities. Alaska because it has the big dipper to reflect its polar position. Hawaii because it makes it look like a British Overseas Territory. Colorado because it has a big C and I watch lots of South Park. Florida because it is sort of Spanish. California because I remember the video by CGP Grey when he said it was hideous and it has a distinctive bear. So for the others I had to deduce. If it has imagery of coastline, I look for the coastal states. If it has Confederate allusions that narrows it down to the Southern states. Many have a date on them, which helps because I have a general idea of the admission history including knowing 1912 was when Arizona and New Mexico were admitted completing Manifest Destiny. A number of the flags and seals only referencing 1776 are more likely to be one of the original 13.
