Let me know what you think of the time. Obviously it needs to be short enough that you don't have time to just enter every state, but long enough that you have time to think about it.

I only got 3. Maine got me. Yeah...needs a lot more than 2 mins. Although you did state it clearly in the instructions, I dont like including water borders - in that case wouldnt Florida have borders with Cuba and the Bahamas?

I'm not an expert on this, but the water borders with Canada are mostly lakes, which clearly belong to either the US or Canada; whereas Florida's "border" with Cuba, would have a fair amount of international waters in the way.

Either a) Add another minute b) reduce a minute while eliminating answering in order I'd choose b simply because there are so many states which have similar lengths, it's difficult to distinguish mentally without actually knowing the correct length beforehand.

Finished with 4 seconds left. I think the time is good. Good quiz.

Pennsylvania and Ohio do not share a land border with Canada.

Read the source link for more info on the inclusion of water boundaries. I'm just some dude who thought of an idea for a sporcle quiz, not the supreme commander of the international boundary commission.

Fishtowner, so that border in Lake Erie, where Ohio and Ontario touch, doesn't count?
