	Too much time

	All of the most educated states voted for Obama and 27/30 of their senators and governors are Democrats (counting Sanders and Lieberman), 8 of the 10 least educated states voted for McCain and 16/30 of their senators and governors are Republicans, connection?

	sorry seems like the note got cut off, its determined by percent of population older than 25 with a bachelor's degree or higher

	This served well to reinforce my prejudices of the American South.

	I knew this quiz would be easy. I knew the least educated would be almost entirely southern states so I got those pretty quickly, and I knew the most educated would mostly be northeastern and west coast states. Too bad reality has a liberal bias.

	Still too much time. Able to type in all 50 states.

	What do the Virginians have that the West Virginians do not? Maybe it's sth in the tap water? Anyhow, too much time. If you know all the states by heart, you have time to just type them all. I missed two because couldn't remember Minnesota and Alabama...

	@purpuraSuihku, since it's based on people 25 and over with bachelor's degrees Virginia would likely rank high because it has a lot of government related jobs that require college degrees while West Virginia has a lot of jobs that don't require college degrees. It's not necessarily that native Virginians are more likely to have degrees, but that people with degrees move there for work.

	Virginia and West Virginia are very different places, just because they have the same namesake means nothing. WV is mostly mountain and country, while Virginia has the DC sprawl and a more well rounded stature.

	Quiztaker: Actually, only 26/30 of the Sens/Govs of the most educated states are Democrats (MA and NH have Rep. Senators, VA and NJ have Rep. Govs), but your point still stands.
